We are sorry to report that the 2022 conference has been cancelled due to direct and indirect issues with the Pandemic.
LINK to 2023 symposium is here
Reconnect with friends and colleagues working in the basin, and get up to speed with the latest developments in the watershed. The Geology Department at Union College will host the thirteenth symposium on the physical aspects of the Mohawk Watershed in New York State. The meeting highlights recent and on-going work in the watershed during oral and poster presentations.
The day-long conference will be followed by a reception. We continue to place emphasis on poster presentations, which means a reduction in the number of slots of volunteered talks, and an increase the number of posters and the time for posters. You can see summaries and abstract volumes from previous meetings at the Main MWS website (links to abstracts from previous meetings).
We are looking forwward to an exciting program focussed on:
• water quality,
• fisheries and habitats,
• flooding and resiliency,
• recreation and stewardship
