During the whole day there will be te possibility to show posters, all coffee breaks are poster sessions

Note that the Boussinesq Lecture is preceded by the 2012 Ph.D meeting of the Boussinesq Center. The Boussinesq PhD meeting aims at bringing together young hydrology researchers from universities and research institutes in the Netherlands to discuss current research questions in hydrology.
