The Canadian Geophysical Union (CGU) and the International Association of Hydrogeologists – Canadian National Chapter (IAH-CNC) are pleased to host a joint meeting that brings together geoscientists, hydrogeologists, engineers, and researchers from across Canada and around the world.

A highlight of CGU membership is the Annual Scientific Meeting, which provides a vibrant forum to network, collaborate, and share research with colleagues across the geosciences. Collaborative opportunities are further strengthened through joint meetings with complementary scientific societies, such as IAH-CNC.

This year’s conference will feature:

• Presentations of current research across geoscience and hydrogeology.

• Opportunities to emphasize Canadian-focused research in a global context.

• Recognition of CGU award and student paper winners.

• Recognition of IAH-CNC career and student award winners.

• Invited and plenary presentations from leading voices in the field.

• Information sessions hosted by granting agencies.

• Geoscience and professional development workshops.

• Networking opportunities through formal sessions and informal connections.

IAH-CNC, representing approximately 400 hydrogeology professionals across Canada, is part of the International Association of Hydrogeologists (IAH), a global scientific and educational organization dedicated to advancing hydrogeological science for the common good. IAH-CNC is an active network, offering its members talks, seminars, webinars, and conferences throughout the year.

Together, CGU and IAH-CNC invite you to join us at this joint meeting—a unique opportunity to engage with leading research, connect across disciplines, and strengthen the geoscience and hydrogeological communities.
