Wow…what an IAH Congress! Thanks to all that participated. From a range of great workshops and fascinating fieldtrips to thought provoking key note addresses and many interesting presentations and posters. And, of course, a killer ‘disco’ gala dinner!
The groundwater community continued the work addressing critical issues related to drinking water, agricultural water and mining requirements in an increasing resource constrained world experiencing a changing climate. The increasing acknowledgment of indigenous values of groundwater and, more importantly, direct indigenous participation in research, teaching and engagement was a highlight. We continue to learn as western and indigenous scientists walk together on this journey.
Thank you to all attendees, our sponsors, workshop and field trip leads, session chairs and our professional conference organiser, ICMS, for creating such a positive event. Thank you to the Technical Committee (core and extended) for reviewing the huge number of abstracts.
And a massive thankyou to the Organising Committee: Kelly-Jane Wallis, Tara Taylor, Matthew Currell, Wendy Timms, Betty Carrara, Erin McIntosh, Heath Pawley, Ellen Kwantes and Riley Nicholoson. This event was only possible because these wonderful people volunteered their time to make it happen.
Good luck for the team from Budapest as they now start to prepare for IAH2026.
