Hydrology Conference 2010

The Changing Physical and Social Environment: Hydrologic Impacts and Feedbacks
October 11 - 13, 2010, San Diego, CA, USA

This major international conference, taking place at the Hilton San Diego Resort & Spa, will target the developing interdisciplinary science themes in the interface between hydrology and other scientific disciplines, including climate change, biology, chemistry and social sciences. These subjects are of particular relevance as population increases and a changing climate bring new pressures on hydrological systems around the world.

GRA Short Course: Interpreting Non-Detect Data Correctly

November 2, 2010 • 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM
DoubleTree Hotel, Ontario, CA

This course will be held the day before the EVWD/WRF/WEF 2010 Water Quality & Regulatory Conference. Registration Form -- http://www.grac.org/nondetectreg

Measurements of trace chemicals in environmental media (water, air, soils, biota) frequently result in values reported only as less than the laboratory reporting limit ("nondetects", or "qualified values"). The most commonly-used method for incorporating nondetects is to substitute one-half the reporting limit and continue as usual. This produces invasive data that may obscure patterns and trends that are present, or create those that are not present in the original data. It is fraught with error.
