Every year, the ADCIRC Community comes together to share experiences, discuss, plan, and build capacity for coastal ocean modelling with ADCIRC.
** UPDATE: THIS YEAR WE WILL HAVE OUR FIRST EVER FULLY VIRTUAL ADCIRC WEEK!
The 2020 ADCIRC Week will consist of a 2 day Users Group Meeting and a 3 day intensive bootcamp-style training event, held March 30 to April 3, 2020, and held at the The Water Campus in cooperation with the Louisiana Sea Grant, Louisiana State University and The Water Institute.
The two day ADCIRC Users’ Group Meeting is informal with a commitment to open discussion of shared experiences, allowing the user community to advance their knowledge and skill in developing, implementing, and applying the ADCIRC family of models. Student attendance and participation are strongly encouraged. The registration deadline to secure a 20 minute presentation time slot is 1 March 2020.

The State of the Coast (SOC) Conference is the largest state-wide conference of its kind providing an interdisciplinary forum to exchange timely and relevant information on the dynamic conditions of Louisiana’s coastal communities, environment, and economy.
** UPDATE: The organizations hosting the State of the Coast conference have been monitoring the news and guidance from local and national governments and public health officials about the coronavirus COVID-19 and carefully considering the steps we must take to ensure the safety of our staffs, attendees, vendors and others with whom we will interact. We are committed to following best practices, and we are working on plans to adapt to a fast-changing situation. The 2020 conference will not be canceled, but it may be rescheduled for later in the year. We will be reaching out with further updates as they become available and also posting them on our website.
Retreat #3 — May 27-29, 2020
Skill Focus: Sharing Your Message with Communities
Application: Outreach and Research Design
2019-2020 LaDIA Fellows will explore the coast, in person and in detail. Skills are taught in the context of different coastal regions and their unique challenges.
The Bays and Bayous Symposium will be held Dec. 1-3 at the Golden Nugget Biloxi Hotel and Casino in Biloxi, Mississippi. The theme for the 2020 event is “Sound Science, Sound Policy: A 2020 Vision for the Future.” Bays and Bayous will formally begin at noon on Tuesday, Dec. 1, and end at noon on Thursday, Dec. 3.
Additional topical workshops will be held on Monday, Nov. 30; before the event begins on Tuesday, Dec. 1; and after the symposium concludes on Thursday, Dec. 3.
The symposium focuses on (but is not limited to) coastal science research, education and outreach in the northern Gulf of Mexico. Scientists from universities, NGOs and government agencies share their research findings at the event, and leaders from coastal municipalities showcase their resilience and conservation efforts. Educators and extension professionals also present their research and successful outreach efforts. Popular topics at the symposium include oil spill impacts, habitat management and restoration, climate and hazard resilience, living resources, and water quality and supply.
Typically, the symposium includes 150-200 poster and oral presentations, and the event is known as a networking opportunity for the 350-450 coastal science professionals and students who attend. The symposium also includes special awards for top student presenters.
The 2020 Bays and Bayous Symposium website will be updated throughout the planning process as more information becomes available.
