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, modeling, 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!

IS-Grenoble 2022 will be the fifth quadrennial international symposium organized under the auspices of Technical Committee 105 (Geomechanics from Micro to Macro) of the International Society for Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (ISSMGE). The preceding symposia were held at Yamaguchi University, Japan in 2006, Tongji University, China in 2010, Cambridge University, England in 2014, and Georgia Tech, USA in 2018. As with these previous events, this symposium seeks to advance the objectives of TC 105 to: promote cooperation and exchange of information about the behavior of soil grains and granular interactions; promote improved modeling of soil aggregates; encourage a micro-structural understanding of significant macroscopic behavior; facilitate discussion on the use of micro-structural measurements to enhance soil characterization procedures; and clarify the selection and use of continuum parameters in geotechnical engineering practice.
