20-26 Jun 2021 – Irkutsk, RUSSIA
All-Russian Conference on GROUND WATERS IN THE EAST OF RUSSIA (XXIIIth Meeting on Ground Waters of Siberia and Russian Far East)
GROUND WATERS IN THE EAST OF RUSSIA. This all-Russian Conference is traditional and it is held every 3 years since 1955. In 2021, it will be dedicated to the 95th anniversary of Prof. Eugene V. Pinneker, head of the Siberian hydrogeologists School and to the blessed memory of the organizer of the first meetings on groundwater and engineering geology of Eastern Siberia Prof. Valentina G. Tkachuk.
The conference, which originated 66 years ago, will again be held in the Institute of the Earth’s Crust of SB RAS, Irkutsk, Russia. At the upcoming meeting, for the first time in many years it is planned to consider the results of theoretical and applied research not only in the field of hydrogeology, but also in the field of engineering geology, to discuss a wide range of problems facing domestic and world science.
It is noteworthy that the meeting will be held within the framework of the international decade for action "Water for Sustainable Development", which the UN celebrates in 2018-2028 (A/RES/71/222).
Proposed conference topics:
• Underground hydrosphere. Past, Present, Future.
• Water-rock system. Steps forward.
• Ground waters and permafrost
• Hydrogeology of oil and gas regions
• New approaches and methods in hydrogeodynamics and hydrogeochemistry
• Natural and technical systems. Condition and control.
• Training problems of qualified hydrogeologists and geological engineers
• Youth section “New in hydrogeology and engineering geology”
Before the conference beginning it is supposed to publish its proceedings. Main selection criteria are traditional — novelty of the results obtained. The organizing committee welcomes the reports of foreign colleagues on modern problems of hydrogeology and engineering geology in various countries.Price: Registration fee: Early Bird Registration Rates (April 1-10, 2021) 400 €, Standard Registration rate (after April 10, 2021) - 450 €, young scientists (before 35 years old) - 100 €. The registration fee includes: Conference Icebreaker; 1 copy of the Conference Proceedings; a folder, a writing pad, a pen, a badge, information&schedules brochure; coffee-breaks between the sessions, lunches.

International Symposium on Geofluids
(Postponed from 2020)
The declared objective of the Symposium is to bring together scientists, professionals, stakeholders to share and discuss all kinds of aspects of geofluids, i.e., groundwater, geothermal energy, hydrocarbon, geogenic contamination, and hydrothermal mineral resources, with special emphasis on harmonized exploration and utilization. We, therefore, welcome researchers in all aspects of geofluids’ research. Main Topics and planned Sessions include: Energy flow systems and related fluids in the lithosphere; Managed aquifer recharge and groundwater flow systems; Geoenergy, thermal water and hydrocarbon systems; Natural contamination and hazards of geofluids; Fluid–rock interactions and hydrogeochemical reaction.
Stay tuned for updates!.Organised by Organised by the József and Erzsébet Tóth Endowed Hydrogeology Chair and Foundation and by the Regional Groundwater Flow Commission of IAH, in scientific collaboration with the ENeRAG H2020 project of Eötvös Loránd University.
