Eleventh International Conference on the Analytic Element Method

The 11th International Conference on the Analytic Element Method (AEM 2024) was held Saturday, June 1 and Sunday, June 2, 2024, on the campus of Princeton University, Princeton, New Jersey. This was a pre-conference event of the IGWMC MODFLOW and More conference. This is a 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.

Organizers: Otto and Andrine Strack.

Anaqsim partnership with Practical Groundwater and McLane Environmental

Fitts Geosolutions (USA) has teamed with Practical Groundwater 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. Of note, the new QGIS tools for basemap and model input file setup.
