On January 31st, 2014, the deadline for the first call for Research Themes (RT) and Working Groups (WG) of Panta Rhei expired. The first call was a success! Eighteen proposals have been received for Working Groups and seven proposals for Research Themes. The proposed Working Groups include 205 researchers! The large attention that the community dedicated to the first call is a clear demonstration of the popularity of Panta Rhei.
The list of the proposals can be downloaded here.
Proposals wil be now reviewed by the Target Leaders and the Chair of Panta Rhei, in agreement with the IAHS governance. The list of the approved themes and groups will be published in the near future. Research Themes may be added by Target Leaders at this stage. Later on, a second open call for Working Groups and Research Themes will be issued.
Please stay tuned on the web site, several updates on WG and RT wil be published shortly.

The next AGU Fall Meeting, to be held in San Francisco (USA) during December 9-13, 2013, will host a session framed within the context of Panta Rhei. The session, titled "H21N. Hydrological Change and Water Systems: Feedbacks, Prediction, and Experimental Management", is convened by Nandita Basu (University of Waterloo), Alberto Montanari (University of Bologna), Maria Cristina Bruno and Theodore Melis (USGS Grand Canyon Monitoring and Research Center). The oral presentations will take place on Tuesday, December 10, during the all day in room 3002 (Moscone West). Posters will be presented in the morning of Wednesday, December 11, Hall A-C (Moscone South).

The session has gained an exciting interest. 54 contributions were submitted that are focusing on the Panta Rhei themes. The symposium will be an exciting opportunity to get started with the activities of Panta Rhei and to bridge with existing initiatives and researches.

A visionary session on Panta Rhei will also be organised during the EGU meeting to be held in Vienna in April 2014. More details will be posted later.

I am looking forward to possibly seeing you in San Francisco!
