Storage and release of water from seasonal snowcovers and glaciers constitute critical components of the hydrological cycle in many parts of the world, affecting water availability, vegetation patterns, ecosystems, and weather. Measuring, modelling and understanding the processes that control deposition and ablation dynamics of snow provide ample research challenges, especially in complex mountainous terrain. SnowHydro2022 provides an exceptional opportunity to discuss recent advances in all aspects of snow hydrology in a dedicated conference setting, including snow cover processes, distribution dynamics, model development, data assimilation, operational snowmelt forecasting, remote sensing of snow, climate change effects on snow water resources, snow vegetation interactions, and ecohydrology. It is the event to meet your international peers and exchange latest ideas in a focused and informal setting. 

Following on from the two previous meetings, SnowHydro2018 in Heidelberg and SnowHydro2020 in Bolzano, SnowHydro2022 was planned to take place in Saint-Martin d'Hères near Grenoble, France. However, due to the pandemic situation, the conference will now be entirely virtual.

We have built a virtual convention center using gather town. This environment will allow you to listen to live online presentations in a large auditorium, to discuss posters with the presenters at their booth, to meet your colleagues for a break-out discussion, or to just to sit down with your peers for an informal chat. Get started by readings our manual which provides you with all necessary information about technical requirements and the functionality of the platform, and includes a map of the convention center.

 SnowHydro2022 gather town environment.

2022-02-04: A warm thank you to all participants and presenters (oral and poster). Please take 2 minutes to give us your feedback about the conference.

2022-01-31: The convention center is now open! A manual provides you with all necessary information about technical requirements and the functionality of the platform. Links to access the convention center have been sent out by email.

2022-01-29: The final conference program is now available! We are looking forward to seeing you on Monday at the Ice breaker Event in the Gather Town virtual center (link will be sent this Sunday 30).

2022-01-28: Last chance to register, registration closes after today.

2022-01-18: Details regarding the online meeting in our virtual convention center have been added. Please also note the new section with information for presenters. And don't miss the virtual ice breaker event on Jan-31 to familiarize yourself with the platform before we start the conference. Be reminded that you must register to participate the meeting.

2022-01-13: The SnowHydro2022 online meeting will take place in a virtual convention center powered by gather town. This environment will allow you to listen to live online presentations in a large auditorium, to discuss posters with the presenters at their booth, to meet your colleagues for a break-out discussion, or to just to sit down with your peers for an informal chat. We are very much looking forward to seeing you at this online meeting.

2021-12-23: As much as we had hoped to meet you all in person at the SnowHydro2022 in Grenoble and enjoy the conference, the side events, and networking in an informal setting, the current covid situation and travel restrictions make this an unreasonable undertaking. We have therefore decided today to convert SnowHydro2022 into an online-only event and focus our attention on finding optimum ways to gather virtually instead. Despite this disappointing situation, we are very much looking forward to the conference as we have an exciting line up of speakers and poster presenters. We will keep you updated, and give you more details about the format of our virtual conference as they become available. Thank you for your understanding!

2021-11-25: Please pre-register at your soonest availability under Registration to provide us with important information for planning the meeting, even if you are unsure about your ability to travel to Grenoble next February. Note that you will be able revise your registration details any time, should your plans change.

2021-11-25: We have received abstracts from 29 countries on 6 continents, which made it easy for us to assemble an exciting scientific programme, which we are happy to share with you HERE.

2021-10-24: Abstract submission is now closed. We have received close to 100 abstracts, which we are currently reviewing. A preliminary programme will become available in early November.

2021-10-12: One week left to submit your abstracts for SnowHydro2022 (Call for abstracts) ! We are also exploring hybrid and remote options, so please submit your abstracts even if you are unsure you can attend in person (Link to submit an abstract).
