Submit your abstract online
Presenting a poster? Here’s what you need to know.
If you have questions about submitting an abstract, email us at abstracts@ahssymposium.org; however, we urge you to read the instructions below, which likely contain the answers you’re looking looking for.
Potential topics
We welcome abstracts for talks and posters on virtually any MAR-related topic, including (but not limited to) the following:
- Design, construction, development, and testing
- Operations and maintenance
- Economics and energy efficiency
- Governance and regulation
- Water quality and monitoring
- Modeling
- Tools and technologies (geophysics, GIS, etc.)
- Climate change (drought, flooding, etc.)
- Other (alternative recharge systems, land subsidence, thermal energy storage, etc.)
Submission guidelines
Deadline for submitting (NEW!): November 22, 2023
Evaluators will use the following criteria when deciding whether to accept your abstract:
- Is the abstract a marketing effort rather than an information exchange through case studies?
- Would our members find this topic interesting or innovative?
- Is the talk off topic, political, or competitor bashing?
We reserve the right to edit for concision and clarity.
You must register (and pay) for BSMAR18 after your abstract is accepted in order to present a talk or poster.
Special opportunities for students
Stipends. To offset the cost of registration, we are offering $125 stipends for up to 10 Arizona students. Apply after we accept your abstract for a talk or poster. Download a stipend application here»
