8th GEWEX Open Science Conference: Extremes and Water on the Edge

May 6 - 11, 2018 | Canmore, Alberta, Canada

Session Chairs and Judges for the Early Career Scientist (ECR) and Student Presentation Competition

Chairs for the 26 sessions are responsible for briefly introducing their session and collecting presentations from the presenters. Chairs should show up a few minutes early for their session to create a folder for the presentations on the available laptop, and collect the presentations there or save them to a device to be shared with the Organizing Committee later. Chairs are listed below.

Judges for the ECR and student presentation competition, whose duties are outlined at the competition page, are also listed below.
