Hydrology Section Home Page

Welcome to the Hydrology (H) section's World Wide Web (WWW) home page.

Hydrology section members are concerned with the cycling of continental water (solid, liquid and vapor) at all scales, and with physical, chemical and biological processes driven by that cycling. More than 6,000 of the American Geophysical Union's (AGU) 35,000 members identify Hydrology as their primary section.

Announcements

The Horton Student Research Grant Deadline has been EXTENDED. Applications are now due April 30th.
The Horton Award of the Hydrology Section has been renamed the Hydrologic Sciences Award to avoid confusion with the Horton Medalawarded by the Union.
"Rapid Communications" in Water Resources Research provides a quick way to publish. See the WRR web page for more information.
Geophysical Research Letters publishes short, concise research letters that present scientific advances that are likely to have immediate influence on the research of other investigators. Check it out.
