Registration Open: Participate in the 11th International Symposium on Environmental Hydraulics

The organizing committee of the International Symposium on Environmental Hydraulics ISEH2027, Iowa City, USA is happy to announce that registration is now open. Please note that the regular sessions will be held on June 1-3, 2027.

Abstract submission remains open for researchers interested in participating, with more than 150 abstracts received. 

As part of the symposium, we are offering a one-day online course on Artificial Intelligence in Environmental Hydraulics and Hydrology free of charge to interested participants. The course will be held on June 4, 2027 and will be taught by Prof. Sandhya Patidar from Heriot-Watt University, UK.

We look forward to welcoming you to Iowa City.
