XVIII International Conference on Computational Methods in Water Resources

The XVIII Computational Methods in Water Resources (CMWR 2010) conference will be held from June 21-24, 2010 at the Technical University of Cataluña, Barcelona, Spain, continuing the tradition of 17 previous biennial meetings held in North America and Europe.

The conference will be a forum for the dissemination of the latest ideas in the development and application of advanced computational techniques to problems in water resources and related fields, including surface and subsurface hydrology, contaminant remediation, carbon sequestration, climate change, and nuclear waste storage. A list of the specific sessions is given below. 

The organizers welcome submissions that either directly involve computations for water resources or present concepts relevant to such computations. The conference will involve four days of regular and special sessions organized to address recurring, emerging, and crosscutting themes in the broader areas of computations and water resources. Several keynote speakers will highlight each of the sessions.
