Another AHS symposium has come and gone. This year’s event, held at the High Country Conference Center in Flagstaff, was a huge success. Two hundred people attended and enjoyed talks, posters, a keynote session featuring Patrick Adams and Ted Cooke, lunch speakers Bo Svoma and Marty Ralph, some great Casino Night raffle and auction prizes, and some fun social events. On Friday, we presented awards for academic and intern scholars and student posters; we also honored the contributions of Dr. Abe Springer with an Outstanding Service Award.
Special thanks to Shawn Calendine of hydroGEOPHYSICS, who took these wonderful photos:
