GEO tematikus műhely vízügyi témakörben

A földmegfigyelés társadalmi hasznot hozó tematikus területei közül a vízgazdálkodást de közvetetten a mezőgazdaságot, energiaszektort, katasztrófavédelmet és egészségügyet érintő műhely jellegű összejövetelre kerül sor 2010 február 23-24-én a newyorki City College-ban.
A GEO Titkárság igazgatója José Achache írta mai levelében:
" Dear Colleagues,
I am pleased to inform you that GEO Integrated Global Water Cycle Observations
(IGWCO) Community of Practice will hold a two-day workshop on 23-24 February 2010,
followed by the annual science and planning meeting on 25-26 February 2010, hosted by
The City College of New York (CCNY).
The workshop on Water Resource Assessment and Applications will provide an
opportunity to discuss new ideas that could be brought under the IGCWCO umbrella and
linkages to ongoing activities within the GEO 2009-2011 Work Plan.
This year’s science and planning meeting will be an important occasion for reviewing
the activities of the GEO Water Societal Benefit Area (SBA), for identifying and initiating new
water cycle activities based in large measure on recommendations coming from workshops
held during the past year, and for determining how the IGWCO Community of Practice will
interface with the GEO and other international bodies during the coming years. The meeting
will also provide the opportunity to prepare for the GEO Work Plan Task Symposium, slated
for late May 2010 in Pretoria, South Africa.
In addition to updates on progress and plans for each of the subtasks in the Water
SBA of the GEO 2009-2011 Work Plan, a review of other GEO subtasks having a connection
to the Water SBA will be conducted. Examples include the User Survey of water data needs
(US-09-01a) and the on-going survey of water cycle data centers (DA-09-02a). Additionally,
possible linkages between the Water SBA and activities in Agriculture, Energy, Disasters and
Health SBAs will be explored.
The New York location for this meeting provides a good opportunity for colleagues
from North American, Europe and Asia to more fully engage in the IGWCO Community of
Practice. Participation of important players in the field of the hydrological cycle and Earth
observations will be invaluable in achieving the goals of this Workshop, and we kindly ask
that you, as an expert in operational and/or scientific aspects of the water cycle, consider
attending both the workshop and planning meeting.
