Announcing the Nordic Hydrological Conference 2028: Riga, Latvia

Set sail for Riga, Latvia. Nordic Hydrological Conference 2028 (NHC2028) will be held at the University of Latvia in the beautiful city of Riga from the 15th to 17th of August 2028. The title of the conference will be Water, Climate and Biodiversity: From Science to Resilient Action.​

Sitting at the mouth of the Daugava River, at an important historical connection point between the Nordics and Baltics, Riga is the perfect setting for a truly international hydrological conference. NHC2028 was announced at the closing ceremony of NHC2026, and the Nordic Association for Hydrology (NHF), the responsible organization, passed the flag from Finland to Latvia.

The board of the Nordic Association for Hydrology (NHF) selects the country who is responsible for the next conference and supports the local organizing committee. The NHC2028 local organizing committee includes University of Latvia; Latvian Environment, Geology and Meteorology Centre; and Latvia University of Life Sciences and Technologies. The organizing committee will also include a person from each of the member countries within the NHF, who reports back to the association.

 

The organizing committee and NHF have settled on three main conference topics:

  • Water and biodiversity

  • Water resources, including groundwater and climate change

  • Hydrological and hydrochemical modelling and measures

 

During the conference week, several exciting opportunities are being offered, including training courses and field excursions. The General Assembly of the NHF will also take place. In addition, the best paper in NHF’s Journal Hydrology Research will be awarded, and two students will be evaluated for the best poster and oral presentation awards.

Stay tuned for more information about abstract submission, deadlines and travel information.
