WASHINGTON — AGU and CUAHSI (Consortium of Universities for the Advancement of Hydrologic Science, Inc.) will host the first biennial Frontiers in Hydrology meeting (#FIHM22) in San Juan, Puerto Rico and online, 19 – 24 June 2022.

Join us for more than 900 talks and poster presentations on the future of water. Topics include urban and agricultural water systems, green infrastructure, resiliency, scarcity and environmental justice.

Remote attendees can live stream a subset of presentations that will be hosted online through the meeting platform, including daily online-only oral sessions as well as hybrid sessions that will mix in-person and online presentations. Traditional in-person oral sessions will not be available for livestream but will be recorded and available to view in the online meeting platform within a week of the live sessions. Remote attendees also have access to the online poster gallery.
