About the Conference

Storage and release of water from seasonal snow covers constitute critical components of the hydrological cycle in many parts of the world, affecting water availability, vegetation patterns, ecosystems, and weather. Measuring, modelling, and understanding the processes that control deposition and ablation dynamics of snow provide ample research challenges, especially in complex mountainous terrain. SnowHydrology2024 provides an exceptional opportunity to discuss recent advances in all aspects of snow hydrology in a dedicated conference setting, including snow cover processes, distribution dynamics, model development, operational snowmelt forecasting and data assimilation, remote sensing of snow, new experimental methods, climate change effects on snow water resources, snow-vegetation interactions, and snow ecohydrology. SnowHydrology2024 is the event to meet your international peers and exchange latest ideas in a focused and informal setting!

Dates and Venue

The 4th International Conference on Snow Hydrology (SnowHydrology2024) will be hosted in Grenoble, France in the foothills of the Alps not far from the famous Mont-Blanc. The scientific sessions will take place on Tuesday to Thursday (30 Jan - 1 Feb). On Friday (2 Feb) we will take you out to an exciting excursion, allowing you to enjoy the snow in the nearby mountains. An icebreaker event will be offered on Tuesday evening (30 Jan).

Scientific Program

We have received over 100 abstracts, which allowed us to build an exciting program, which is available here. Presentations will be on all aspects of snow hydrology, organized by topics into four oral session and one poster session per day.

Registration and Costs

The registration is now closed. Registration costs 250 EUR covering lunch and coffee breaks during the meeting, the ice breaker event on Tuesday, the conference dinner on Wednesday, and general logistics. OSUG generously provided funding so that we can offer a reduced registration fee of 150 EUR to early career scientists (up to 2 years after PhD). The full-day excursion on Friday costs an additional 30 EUR for those who wish to participate and include all transfers, entry fees, the cable car, and a lunch bag.
