MeetingOfInterest:Meeting-080 + (The rivers that drain the eastern flank of … The rivers that drain the eastern flank of the Tibetan Plateau and which supply sediment to the marginal seas of East and Southeast Asia are some of the largest drainage systems in the world and have large impacts both socially through their linkage to agriculture and societal development, as well as economically in providing hydrocarbon resources to the region in the sedimentary basins that have developed in the delta regions. The origin of these rivers is tied up with the progressive tectonic development of the Asian continent and particularly with the growth of high topography in the Tibetan region since the start of India-Asia collision, likely around 40-50 Ma. This symposium encourages submissions from all those working on those the modern and ancient aspects of Asian river systems, but is particularly focusing on those researching the interactions between tectonics, landscape and the development of river systems. We particularly seek to understand how the development of the Tibetan plateau as well as the onset of large-scale strike slip faulting has impacted the landscape and the drainage patterns in the large rivers of Southeast Asia. Our field trip this year will focus on the modern and ancient fluvial sedimentary deposits of the Red River system, which is often considered as a classic example of how drainage has re-organized under the influence of progressive tectonic deformation.We particularly encourage submission of abstracts from junior researchers and including graduate students working on all aspects of fluvial geology, geomorphology and geochemistry. Links to the climatic developments including the intensity of the Asian monsoon form an important sub discipline within this research group.sub discipline within this research group.)
MeetingOfInterest:Meeting-202 + (The science of rain, rivers and reservoirs … The science of rain, rivers and reservoirs spans from ‘clear gold’ water, to ‘black gold’ oil. Following in the footsteps of the successful first Rain, Rivers and Reservoirs workshop in Sao Paulo, Brazil in September 2015, this workshop will bring together geoscientists and civil engineers with different backgrounds to generate new interdisciplinary approaches to key problems in our adjacent subject areas. Modern flooding, erosion and deposition, through to geological preservation of fluvial aquifers and petroleum reservoirs require linking of fluvial/flood processes to the longer term trends of climate change, regional uplift and sea level change. These subject areas are fundamentally interdisciplinary. Therefore we would particularly encourage Earth Scientists and Civil Engineers working on aspects of fluvial processes to join the meeting. Over-abundance of water (flooding) and under-abundance of water (drought) are societal issues in many parts of the world that we wish to address, and we encourage world-wide case studies to be submitted. These wider perspectives add both depth and context, allowing researchers focussed on one particular aspect of fluvial expertise to contribute to solutions for ongoing global challenges.o solutions for ongoing global challenges.)

Here, we will discuss the basic principles behind the two main inversion approaches: Sampling-based (statistical) and gradient-based (deterministic) inversion. We will show the advantages and disadvantages of each approach related to geodynamical inverse problems. We will also explain the adjoint method, which is a particularly efficient way to compute the pointwise gradient of the misfit function with respect to model parameters. The gradients are not only useful for inversions but can also be employed to 1) automatically determine the key model parameters (and scaling laws) for a particular geodynamic simulation and 2) can be used to compute geodynamic sensitivity kernels that visually show where changes in the setup have a key impact, on, for example, the surface velocity. Finally, we will discuss a detailed example that shows how geodynamic inversion can be used to constrain the rheology of the lithosphere.To join the webinar, please connect at: https://zoom.us/j/955605274For additional information, please visit https://geodynamics.org/cig/events/webinars/ .https://geodynamics.org/cig/events/webinars/ .)

It is accepted that Biological diversity is a global asset of tremendous value, and it needs to be preserved for future generations. At the same time, the threat to species and ecosystems has never been greater than it is today and, it is vital that biodiversity conservation is given due recognition in order to ensure that the ongoing development embodies a strong sense of sustainability.Located in South-Eastern Europe, Serbia covers an area of 88,407 km2 with moderate continental climate. The dominant position of river valleys from the south towards the hilly areas in the north of the country allows the deep penetration of polar air masses in southern regions. The mountain landscape of Serbia is rich in canyons, gorges and caves, as well as preserved forests, home to a multitude of endemic species.

MeetingOfInterest:Meeting-239 + (This Gordon Research Conference (GRC) unit … This Gordon Research Conference (GRC) unites ecologists, hydrologists, geochemists, soil scientists, and other scientists who understand the need for interdisciplinary research to advance catchment science. Catchment science, conceptually rooted in the physical boundaries that define a catchment or watershed ecosystem, is inherently integrative. Catchment scientists are compelled to transcend disciplinary boundaries and work across interfaces or transitions within components of the catchment system such as groundwater and surface water interactions, the land-atmosphere boundary, terrestrial and aquatic transitions, and boundaries imposed by humans. The various disciplines that form the basis of catchment science can also pose boundaries in our communication and our approaches. This conference aims to share and integrate the scientific diversity and perspectives that form catchment science. We anticipate the conference will provide a unique opportunity for participants to synthesize research in catchment science by widening their view, crossing disciplinary boundaries and expanding knowledge beyond current boundaries. The conference is limited to 150 participants. The scientific program will include oral presentations (by invitation only), moderated discussions of important topics, and poster sessions. All conference participants are encouraged to present posters. If you have any questions about the program of the GRC on catchment science or wish to suggest a speaker or discussion leader, please feel free to contact one of the conference organizers. The GRC will also be preceded by a two-day Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) that is organized by and designed for graduate students and post-doctoral researchers. The GRS provides opportunities for the exchange of ideas among early career investigators and an occasion to build relationships with peers that will form the next generation of catchment scientists.

This calls for joint global responsibility and cooperation among scientists and policy makers to mediate tradeoffs and explore synergies. It has been recognized that efforts to address only one part of a systemic problem by neglecting other inherently inter-linked aspects may not lead to desirable and sustainable outcomes. In this perspective, policy- and decision-making requires a nexus approach that reduces tradeoffs and builds synergies across sectors, and helps to reduce costs and increase benefits for humans and nature compared to independent approaches to the management of water, energy, food and the environment.The conference "Sustainability in the Water-Energy-Food Nexus. Synergies and Tradeoffs: Governance and Tools at various Scales" to be held on 19-20 May, 2014 in Bonn, Germany addresses the linkages across key natural resource sectors, so that jointly improving efficiency is considered to be a win-win strategy for human development and environmental sustainability.Recognizing the sustainability of the Water-Energy-Food (WEF) Nexus as a key research-for-action initiative, the conference will allow an internal policy consultation process to inform, influence, and catalyze action by key actors— including policymakers, non‐governmental organizations, the private sector, educators, and researchers. The conference encourages an ecosystem oriented nexus approach as ecosystems form the foundation of the WEF Nexus with all sectors relying on their services. Aquatic ecosystems and their related services are degrading faster than many other natural systems, threatening the well-being of current and future generations. Special attention will therefore be given to ecosystem-based management approaches and tools in order to achieve WEF Nexus and ecosystem sustainability.The conference will bring together available information, identify knowledge and action gaps, share lessons on viable instruments and approaches, facilitate networks, and contribute to consensus on priorities for appropriate investment and action by different actors and stakeholders for moving toward action on the WEF Nexus.for moving toward action on the WEF Nexus.)

Participation: by invitation only (apply to dani.or@env.ethz.ch before October 20, 2017) free of charge.OLAM is a state-of-the-art global model that features local mesh refinement and a full set of physical processes (e.g., dynamics, radiative transfer and precipitation) designed for global, mesoscale, and microscale land and atmosphere simulations. OLAM was originally based on RAMS but employs more advanced numerical algorithms and sophisticated grid representations. Soil and groundwater capabilities of OLAM are being revised in a project called: OLAM-SOIL. The goals are to improve land-atmosphere interactions in OLAM-SOIL by incorporating advanced representation of soil processes, towards a new global Advanced Soil Modeling Platform (ASMP). Zooming capabilities and handling of soil and subsurface processes makes OLAM-SOIL an ideal tool for regional studies centering on soil processes (e.g., irrigation water management, future crops, etc.). The OLAM-SOIL project was conceived in collaboration with GEWEX-SOILWAT initiative and the International Soil Modeling Consortium (ISMC).

MeetingOfInterest:Meeting-057 + (Transboundary water management across bord … Transboundary water management across borders and interfaces: present and future challengesTerrestrial, freshwater and marine ecosystems are linked through a number of bio-geo-chemical as well as socio-economic and political-institutional processes that are, in turn, affected by pressures from globalisation, climate change/variability, population growth, economic development, resource depletion, pollution and technological progress. These linkages constitute a host of mutual benefits as well as a range of negative impacts and hazards, potentially leading to tensions, conflicts and welfare losses. The application of non-systemic and isolated approaches in watershed, coastal or marine management issues, their limited community and stakeholder integration as well as their deficient inter-institutional and multi-sector coordination efforts to develop and implement holistic intervention strategies, has led to inefficient approaches for tackling the socio-environmental problems that are faced by socio-ecological systems at the land-freshwater-sea interface.A core challenge lies in the provision of research support aiming at risk reduction from environmental hazards in these socio-ecological systems at the land-freshwater-sea interface, through more sustainable use and management of the natural resources and ecosystem services that sustain economies, societies and human well-being. Based in environmental, social and/or economic sciences, water resources management models, approaches and frameworks have been developed within the research community to cope with the complexity of water resources management issues as to improve its outcomes. These studies generally aim to achieve more holistic sustainable water resources management through integration that most adequately reflects the complex relationships between water, land, ecosystems, capitals, technologies, stakeholders, communities and/or governance systems. Water resources management across social boundaries and/or ecological interfaces in linked terrestrial, freshwater and marine socio-ecological systems poses, however, additional scientific and managerial challenges.onal scientific and managerial challenges.)

MeetingOfInterest:Meeting-381 + (Water infrastructure such as reservoirs an … Water infrastructure such as reservoirs and diversion projects are essential to enhance water security, and their development has historically gone hand in hand with the socio-economic development of countries all over the world. However, dams and diversion projects typically have high financial, societal and environmental costs, often well beyond those anticipated at planning stage. While increased awareness of unintended impacts reduces the attractiveness of new developments, improving the efficiency of existing infrastructure has become of primary importance for achieving and maintaining water security, particularly in face of growing demand for water in a potentially warmer and drier future.From a scientific perspective, several factors make this a very exciting time to design and experiment innovative solutions for the efficient management of water systems. Ever growing amount of information from new monitoring systems (such as smart sensors or remote sensing), combined with unprecedented computing power, opens up novel opportunities for developing, testing and implementing new modelling and optimisation approaches to assist and enhance water system operations. On the other hand, past experiences have extensively demonstrated that novel methods and tools need to be tailored to the needs and constraints of the users they are intended for, if they are to be effectively taken-up. Therefore, co-production of research between researchers and practitioners, transparency and reproducibility of testing experiments, and the development of workflows and effective visualisation should be integral part of research efforts in the field.The Symposium will bring together researchers and practitioners in the field of monitoring, modelling and optimisation of water systems operations, to present recent advances, identify future research directions, and discuss how to accelerate the adoption of state-of-art methodologies by industry and policy-makers.thodologies by industry and policy-makers.)
