Making a splash at Groundwater Modeling and more

Neptune and Company is excited to connect with the groundwater community at Groundwater Modeling and More 2026: From Raindrop to Reservoir, taking place June 7–10 at Princeton University.

As the conference explores the evolving path from raindrop to reservoir along with the growing role of AI in environmental modeling, Neptune brings over 30 years of experience in statistics, environmental data science, and decision-support modeling to the conversation. We're proud to support a gathering that has long served as a hub for researchers, developers, and practitioners shaping the future of groundwater science.
We're proud to be a sponsor and to have three team members presenting across the week.

- Real-Time Model Visualization with ModelWatcher
Join us at the software demonstration session on Monday, June 8, to see our in-house dashboard that automatically renders stakeholder-ready visualizations from HPC-executed model runs.

- Conceptual Modeling in the Age of AI
As a featured speaker on Tuesday, June 9, Lauren Foster, PhD, PG will discuss how the automation of computational modeling requires hydrogeologists to refocus on foundational conceptual questions.

- Faster Workflows for Contaminant Transport
Also on Tuesday, Michael Morphew will present a highly accurate machine-learning surrogate model (U-FNO) that reduces contaminant plume simulation times from hours to mere seconds.

- Assessing Geothermal Impacts with Coupled Modeling
On Wednesday, June 10, Mickey Rush, PhD will share recently published research demonstrating how MODFLOW 6 GWE can be used to estimate the risks that deep geothermal extraction poses to shallow hot spring systems.

Stop by and talk with our team about how rigorous statistical thinking and modern modeling tools can help tackle the field's next generation of challenges.
