Education and Outreach is a vital part of IAH’s mission to further the understanding, wise use and protection of groundwater resources throughout the world. Our Early Career Hydrogeologists Network presented successful webinars during the year and we aim to continue to host online events for our commissions, networks, national chapters and other groups. We also have a wealth of resources available on the IAH website. Browse the full catalogue at Sharing Sources – groundwater students and professionals.
The IAH free student membership scheme has continued this year. The ‘Associate Student Member’ subscription entitles students to discounts offered by IAH, newsletters and email alerts, participation in competitions and prize draws, opportunities to vote in elections and participate in our national chapters, commissions and networks (though not currently access to Hydrogeology Journal). We believe that all students enrolled on groundwater and related courses will want to be part of the IAH family. More information is available at Student and early career membership of IAH.
We helped fund the participation of several members from lower income backgrounds at our international congress in Davos, who would not otherwise have been able to attend and present their papers.
