The Panta Rhei Target Leaders

Panta Rhei includes three targets, namely, (1) Understanding, (2) Estimation and prediction and (3) Science in practice. Each target is led by a Target Leader and a Target Co-Leader. Target Leaders are nominated for a biennium and their role is to assist the Panta Rhei Chair in overseeing the scientific activity that is carried out within Panta Rhei and to keep the links with the community. The tasks of the Target Leaders include the identification and preliminary approval of Research Themes and Working Groups (the final approval is formalised by the IAHS Bureau), the organisation of Panta Rhei initiatives (scientific session at conferences, educational initiatives, summer schools etc.) and the synthesis of the activity that is carried out under each target.

The Target Leaders for the Biennium 2013-2015 are:

• Target 1 - Understading: Hilary McMillan (National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research, New Zealand - Leader), Magdalena Rogger (Vienna University of Technology, Austria - Co-Leader)
• Target 2 - Estimation and prediction: Hafzullah Aksoy (Istanbul Teknik Üniversitesi, Turkey - Leader), Dominc Mazvimavi (University of the Western Cape, South Africa - Co-Leader)
• Target 3 - Science in Practice: Giuliano Di Baldassare (Unesco-IHE, The Netherlands - Leader), Yan Huang (Changjiang Water Resources Commission, China - Co-Leader)

IAHS and Panta Rhei is pleased to welcome the IAHS Target Leaders on board and to thank them for their contribution!
