The 15th symposium will aim to facilitate the exchange of information and knowledge among water and environment professionals from developed and developing countries in order to advance the understanding, collaboration and capabilities to respond to the rapidly changing global environment.
The objectives of the symposium are to review recent contributions of isotope tracers and other geochemical tools in advancing the understanding of hydrological processes in a changing environment; to review recent developments in the approaches and methods based on isotopes in climate studies and related fields; and to assess research, analytical and training requirements to meet the challenges of understanding the consequences and impact of climate change.
The symposium is aimed at professionals involved in a broad spectrum of disciplines, including: water resources assessment and management; processes in the hydrosphere and atmosphere; climate change and its impact on the water cycle; meteorology and environmental modelling; protection of the environment; geographic information systems; and the development of isotopic techniques and tools. Government officials, including policy makers and individuals responsible for the assessment of environmental programmes, would also benefit from attending the symposium.
