The Kirkham Conference is due to be held in South Africa in 2020.
The Theme:
Since soil-water-atmosphere interactions in southern Africa are critically dependant on soil hydraulics, the development of soil physics in South Africa has a long history. With Agriculture, Ecology and now Mining heavily dependent on advances in soil physics, these topics will be included in a broad theme, suited to the region.
The Date:
The conference is planned for 14 – 17 September 2020.
The Location:
The Skukuza Rest Camp of the Kruger National Park in the north-eastern part of South Africa is the location for the meeting. The Skukuza camp, situated on the banks of the Sabie river offers an ideal game viewing location and a wide variety of game can be observed during short road excursions from the camp. Delegates will be safely housed in the modern camp and will enjoy a mid-week excursion to hydrological and soil research sites in this pristine savannah.
