On 14th of October 2021 the joint seminar between FH-DGGV and IAH-D hosted Prof Jean-Michel Lemieux from Université Laval in Québec with a really interesting talk about groundwater in permafrost environments. We had close to 60 visitors and an excellent transmission across the Atlantic between Europe and Québec. The presentation treated water availability and renewal as well as heat flow and the role of groundwater as a future drinking water resource in cold regions. Great international short meeting and thanks to Jean-Michel for an inspiring presentation.

“We didn’t expect to reach out to so many interested hydros right at our first event” said Traugott Scheytt (president FH-DGGV) and Johannes Barth (president IAH-D). The first joint public online seminar of the newly launched series “Was ist neu in Hydro? / What´s new in Hydro“ was held 14 January 2021 and featured a talk by Dr. Catalin Stefan (TU Dresden) about “Managed aquifer recharge as adaptation tools to global change: opportunities and ways forward”.
The 100 available seats were taken on the spot, so we are deeply sorry about not having reserved more capacities. We apologize to everyone not having been able to join the event. The session was a full success. Participants were dialing in not only from Germany, but also from Switzerland, Canada and South Africa. The subsequent discussion in German and English was lively and stimulant.
