  IAH (Irish Group) Annual Conference 2024

  Nature Based Solutions. The theme of this year’s IAH (Irish Group) conference is Groundwater & Nature Based Solutions. We have an interesting, wide ranging and informative programme that will offer insight, experience, guidance, suggestions and ideas related to this topical and important theme.
  
  Nature Based Solutions is an approach that promotes nature as a means for providing solutions to clumate mitigation and adaptation challenges, and the concept is at the core of EU policies and frameworks. There are numerous definitions and meanings of the concept, but fundamentally it is about linking positive outcomes for society with the notion of nature as a means of achieving the outcomes (Nesshover et al 2017); hydrogeologists have been working in this sphere for decades!
  
  Some speakers will offer practical perspectives and experiences on issues related to groundwater – covering case and site studies, as well as insights into complexities of groundwater behaviour in particular environments (river channels and floodplains, urban settings, coastal and near shore zones); others will offer insights from deep systems, from peatlands, and from the machine learning perspective that will be invaluable to practitioners in Ireland and overseas.
  
  The early career hydrogeologists will present posters and our two keynote speakers (Minister of State Malcolm Noonan TD, and Dr Catherine Farrell) will give the conference framing contexts.
