Conferences

The conference had 134 registered attendees from 27 countries, with more than 40 student participants — a positive sign for the future of the field. Funding from NSF helped bring 14 students to the conference.

The conference series is now conducted under the auspices of the International Fog and Dew Association (IFDA). A midweek excursion to Rocky Mountain National Park and an evening banquet in the CSU football stadium were highlights of the week.

A very successful and well-attended conference with about 150 attendees and a wide variety of topics presented across lectures and plenary sessions.

This was the eighth in a series initiated in 1998 by Robert Schemenauer. The series has travelled from Vancouver (1998) to St. John's (2001), Cape Town (2004), La Serena (2007), Münster (2010), Yokohama (2013), and Wroclaw (2016).

A very successful conference with about 125 delegates from 30 countries. FogQuest presented two papers: one on the Tojquia, Guatemala project (2006–2016) and one on fog collection projects in Nepal (1997–2016).
