This three-day workshop is designed for working professionals, students, and researchers, to provide hands-on experience with advanced GIS capabilities for water resources modeling. Specifically, this workshop will focus on downloading geospatial data from the Internet, projecting data into GIS, data preparation for hydraulic and hydrologic analysis, geodatabase development including ArcHydro, data pre-processing for HEC-HMS and HEC-RAS, import/export of geospatial and temporal data, and GIS visualization.
A team of geographers at University of California have developed a new approach to measure river flows from outer space. This approach relies exclusively on the measurements of a river's width over time, which can be obtained from freely available satellite imagery. "Our new method doesn't require access to the country or getting in the river to safely take measurements in the field," said Colin Gleason, lead author of the study and a doctoral student in geography in UCLA.

Twelve months ago a paper on Africa’s water resources made the news headlines. African agriculture, so the story went, sits atop a vast reserve of untapped water that could fuel a Green Revolution, support food security and bolster economic growth, as well as increase resilience to climate change in future decades. This attention to Africa’s ‘hidden’ resource is arguably long overdue, but do such headlines go too far? Can resource availability equate with affordable (and economically rational) access – particularly for smallholder farmers?

The world’s population is exploding at a rate of 80 million a year. With all those mouths to feed we’re going to need a lot more food – and water and energy too. Growing food uses up 70% of the world’s freshwater, which requires pumping to our taps / pumping to where it’s needed, which in turn requires vast amounts of energy, which in turn affects the climate. Water, energy, food, climate: everything is connected.

The objective of this final CIRCLE conference is to share the results of 10 years of European cooperation in climate change impacts, vulnerability and adaptation research, and to pave the way for the development of new research in support of climate change adaptation in Europe in the next decade. CIRCLE-2 is a European Network of 34 institutions from 23 countries committed to fund research and share knowledge on climate adaptation and the promotion of long-term cooperation among national and regional climate change programmes.
