Eleventh International Conference on the Analytic Element Method

The 11th International Conference on the Analytic Element Method (AEM 2024) will be Saturday, June 1 and Sunday, June 2, 2024, on the campus of Princeton University, Princeton, New Jersey. This is the biennial opportunity for participants to present, listen, and discuss the recent advances and applications in the Analytic Element Method with the community of scientists and engineers most involved with the method. This is a pre-conference event the of MODFLOW and More conference.

Organizers: Otto Strack, Randal Barnes

Please kindly submit your abstracts via email to aemodconference@gmail.com. The deadline for abstract submissions is May 1st. Additionally, we request that you utilize this same email address for all conference-related communications.

Anaqsim new partnership with Yellow Sub Hydro

In the past year, Fitts Geosolutions (USA) has teamed with Yellow Sub Hydro (UK) to work on Anaqsim jointly. The releases include improvements in computational performance and in outputs and features. Visit the homepage click here.

The AnAqSim instructional series by McLane Environmental offers self-paced exercise sets for beginners and advanced modelers.
