Alp-Water-Scarce: Why we need water management in the Alps
A european project on Water Management Strategies against Water Scarcity in the Alps, by C. de Jong

Since the Alps receive disproportionally higher amounts of precipitation than the surrounding lowlands, they also produce a disproportionally high mountain runoff relative to average lowland runoff. That is why they are considered as Europe’s water towers, storing water in the form of lakes, wetlands, rivers, snow, permafrost and glaciers. A good governance of water is crucial, taking into account all important factors. But it is not only global warming that is effecting water availability, it is also water abstraction, both for hydroelectricity, agriculture and transformation of water into snow and snow into water. The long term aim of Alp-Water-Scarce is to reinforce authorities & stakeholders to develop integrated & sustainable water management and to suggest socio-economic adaptation & mitigation strategies against water scarcity.... click for more...

 
EDUCATIONAL CRUISE LOG BOOK
The PACHIDERME cruise onboard R/V Marion Dufresne of the French Polar Institute

During the PACHIDERME (PAcifique-CHIli-Dynamique des Eaux intermediaries) cruise, messages were send in the form of cruise logs to about 150 schools all over the world every 2-3 days, describing different aspects of the science and life on board. This Deep Sea Coring Cruise of the Marion Dufresne off the coast of Chile, February 2007, sponsored by the IMAGES Program, was connected to the Teachers-at-Sea program. A number of the participating teachers was supported by EGU as part of EGUs Education Committee activities. A short description of the cruise and the daily cruise logs are relayed here.... click for more...
