IAHS - Panta Rhei
Change in Hydrology and Society

We are excited to inform Panta Rhei fellows that we will be offering a 7 day Field Course in Hydrology & Geology in Iceland, focusing on “The Principals of Resilience Based Management of Natural Resources”, from 17th -22nd August, 2015. The course will include daily field trips, field measurement, modeling aspects and management strategies. It would be our pleasure to welcome Panta-Rhei-members here in Iceland.

This is the first time we will be offering this programme, which is a joint collaboration with the Soil Conservation Service of Iceland. For more information, or advice on applying, please check the course website. Registration is now open and we encourage you to share this with those you think may be interested.

Kind regards from Iceland,
Verity Sharp, Thorunn Petrusdottir and David Finger

A Spring School on Global Climate Change Impacts Assessment and Water Resources will be organized during May 15-22 in Beijing. It is funded by my university (Beijing Forestry University) and the National Natural Science Foundation of China, as one key events of the Panta Rhei working group "Water Scarcity Assessment". The School is organized by prof. Junguo Liu, Beijing Forestry University, Beijing, China and Director-general of the Society for Ecological Restoration in Beijing, China. The programme is available here.

The reports of the activity carried out by the Panta Rhei Working Groups in 2014 is available for download here below. The WGs have carried out an amazing activity last year, therefore proving the enthusiasm of the Panta Rhei researchers and the popularity and significance of the Panta Rhei themes.
I would like to thank very much the WG Leaders and all the researchers that are working in Panta Rhei. We are more than 400 people, and therefore the Panta Rhei community is numerous and solid.
A summary of the Panta Rhei activity will be presented at the IAHS General Assembly that will take place in June in Prague. I hope to see many of you there.
