Early Career Hydrogeology Conference 2025

Thursday 2nd October 2025 | Arup Office, Leeds

Join us for the Early Careers Hydrogeology Conference 2025, a dynamic one-day event designed to inspire, connect, and empower the next generation of hydrogeologists. This year’s programme brings together leading voices from academia, industry, and the public sector to explore the evolving challenges and opportunities in groundwater science.

Expect a rich blend of thought-provoking talks, interactive workshops, and networking opportunities. Highlights include:

  • Storytelling in Science: Discover how narrative can transform technical work into compelling stories that resonate across disciplines.

  • Coal Mining Legacies: Learn about the hidden risks—and surprising opportunities—of mine water in the North East.

  • PFAS Risk Management: Explore cutting-edge approaches to protecting groundwater from persistent pollutants.

  • Groundwater Resilience: Dive into new research on drought impacts and aquifer dynamics in Scotland.

Two hands-on workshops offer practical insights:

  • Chartership Pathways: Get direct advice from assessors and professionals on navigating CIWEM and GeolSoc chartership.

  • Global Water Inequalities: Collaborate on designing rural water management plans using real-world case studies.

Poster presentations also cover a wide range of topics including but not limited to: Deep cave mining, contaminant modelling, neural networks, groundwater flooding in chalk streams, and groundwater salinity from Lincolnshire to East Africa.

With a panel discussion, and a drinks reception to close the day, this conference is a must-attend for early career professionals looking to deepen their expertise, expand their network, and shape the future of hydrogeology.
