Dear Peter,
I thought I'd pass this on for your interest (you probably already have
this info). There is a proposed section on ASR under Hydrology and Earth
System Sciences.
Have a nice day,
Joanne

March 2001 at http://www.copernicus.org/EGS/egsga/nice01/nice01.htm.
Abstracts are currently sought for all sessions. In terms of presentations:
generally 15 mins. are reserved for contributed, and 30 min. for solicited
Oral Papers, including discussions and change over; for each Poster Paper,
one numbered poster board is reserved with a clear dimension of 90 cm
(width) x 240 cm (height). Convenors may ask authors of (certain) poster
papers of their Session to provide a short, 2-5 min. summary of their
contribution during their Oral Session. The general deadline for receiving
Abstracts in both categories is 01 DECEMBER 2000. In particular we draw
your attention to the following four sessions:

>Assessing field parameters for predicting flow and transport in the
subsurface is time-consuming - we try to distinguish relevant structures
and relate them predictively to the travel/residence times and fate of
particular compounds. Using more easily measureable surrogate (proxy)
variables to estimate
>transport-relevant features is one way of exploring the spatial structure
of transport characteristics in the generally heterogeneous subsurface. For
example, transfer functions can be used to "construct" a handle for
interpolation and extrapolation in modelling. Pedological and geological
survey data and images of various scales contain proxy information to
define the topology and of similar media, ie similar in the sense of
relevant transport characteristics. Natural environmental (including water
age indicators) and artificially applied tracers input over various spatial
scales provide integrated signatures of processes that combine to affect
flow and/or transport in the subsurface; novel techniques use the concept
of "intelligent" tracers (eg phase and interface partitioning tracers,
etc.) both in saturated and unsaturated media for investigating particular
characteristics of interest. This symposium is a platform for demonstrating
(including validating), integrating, and !
>generating ideas and approaches for solving the problems of assessing and
estimating necessary but necessarily unobservable transport properties in
the subsurface (soil, vadose and groundwater zones). Emphasis is
particularly on characterising relevant water flow and solute transport
properties, but including also gas/vapour phase properties that affect
transport into and in the saturated zone.

>HSA8.02 Hydrology and chemical processes: Microbial processes in
subsurface chemistry
>
>A symposium on the 'Microbial processes in subsurface chemistry' will be
held within the European
>Geophysical Society 2001 Conference. The symposium will be a forum for
geoscientists, hydrologists,
>microbiologists from academia, public and private sectors to meet and
discuss the latest developments in research in to processes in subsurface
chemistry mediated by biological processes. The symposium will explore the
interface between microbiology and hydrology and assess their complementary
role in areas such as monitoring natural attenuation and in implementing
bioremediation strategies. Submissions that focus on the following themes
will be particularly encouraged:
>* Molecular and microbial ecology: applications in subsurface chemistry;
>* Modelling microbial processes;
>* Modelling chemical and hydrological changes caused by microbial processes;
>* Changes to chemical and hydrological process due to microbial metabolism;
>* Methods/tools for demonstrating the influence/presence of microbial
processes on hydrological conditions;
>* Geophysical tools for determining changes to hydrological conditions due
to microorganisms (eg: changes in permeability due to microbial biofilms);
>* Intelligent tracers: use of microbial vectors as intelligent tracers
and/or use of intelligent tracers (chemical, physical, geophysical) for
understanding microbial processes;
>* Prediction of microbial processes from solid phase and dissolved phase
chemistry.
>Preliminary expressions of interest and provisional titles should be sent
as soon as possible to one of the convenors of this symposium.
