Penn State Extension and its partners will hold the 2016 PA Groundwater Symposium on May 4 at the Ramada Inn Conference Center in State College.

The Symposium will provide a forum for researchers, students, professionals and educators working in the groundwater field to exchange information and promote protection of groundwater resources throughout the state.

The daylong symposium will begin at 8:30 a.m. with opening remarks and a plenary session of presentations on emerging groundwater topics. Morning and afternoon concurrent sessions will also be provided along with two panel discussions on Karst Groundwater topics and Shale Gas Issues.

A buffet lunch will be provided for all attendees and the symposium will close with another plenary session of speakers.

A call for abstracts will be distributed in mid-November for presentations at the symposium. Stay tuned to the Symposium webpage for the call for abstracts and registration information in the coming months.
