The 26th SWIM was scheduled to be held in San Diego in 2020 until the COVID-19 pandemic threw a spanner in the works. Because the next live, in-person SWIM meeting will not occur until October 2023 (the provisional date for the SWIM in Israel), we decided to organize a series of online sessions in 2022. The aim is to keep the community connected and give researchers a platform to present their work – including students and postdocs who have otherwise had limited opportunities to engage with the international body of experts on coastal groundwater. The online edition of SWIM will be different from other online conferences:
- Record your talk and directly submit it. No abstract submission required!
- Choose any format you like: A classic talk with slides, a tour of your field site, a recording of a laboratory or numerical model experiment, or a software demonstration, anything goes!
- All talks will be uploaded to an online platform and will be available for viewing at any time.
- Selected talks will be grouped for broadcasting followed by Q&A and discussion panels (recorded to account for time-zone disparities) during a series of topical sessions.
- There is no registration deadline; join any time. However, for talks to be eligible for the topical sessions, they must be submitted before 1 June 2022.
- Show off your SWI knowledge and win prizes in the saltwater intrusion trivia quiz
More information will become available on this site soon.
