EURO-FRIEND p3 Workshop/training series – 2022

Dr. Bastien Dieppois, Assistant Professor in Water and Climate Change at Coventry University – Centre for Agroecology, Water and Resilience, and Coordinator of UNESCO EURO FRIEND-Water Project-3 on Large Scale Variations in Hydrological Characteristics, has announced a EURO-FRIEND workshop/training series to be held between April and December 2022.

Once a month, either a seminar or training on the use of new datasets, methodologies, or new results in the field will be organized. These seminars/training workshops will be open to everyone and free of charge.

The first seminar, titled “What is needed to bridge the data knowledge gap in Hydrology”, will be hosted by Dr. Stephan Dietrich, scientific officer at the International Centre for Water Resources and Global Change (UNESCO) and regional coordinator of the UNESCO flagship programme FRIEND-Water for EURO-FRIEND. He will give an introduction to the FRIEND-Water Programme (Flow Regimes from International Experimental and Network Data) that aims at data sharing and analysis, thus linking this to the ambitions of global data centres federated in GTN-H, e.g. Global Runoff Data Centre (GRDC), GEMS/Water Data Centre for water quality or the International Soil Moisture Network (ISMN).

This initiative is intended to encourage more early-career scientists to join the EURO-FRIEND initiative and enhance collaboration between the FRIEND-water community across the world.

First on-site master student at ICWRGC since COVID Pandemic

As from 15 March 2022, ICWRGC will host a student from the Erasmus Mundus EuroAquae programme “Hydroinformatics and Water Management”. Since the beginning of the COVID pandemic, this is the first master thesis project to be commenced on site, at the ICWRGC office in Koblenz. The master thesis project will be co-supervised by Prof. Molkenthin from Cottbus University, one of the universities participating in the EuroAquae programme. Dmytro Lisniak and Dr. Renee van Dongen will supervise the master student on behalf of the ICWRGC.

During the 5-month project duration, the student will combine river discharge data from the Global Runoff Database with water quality data from the GEMStat database to calculate yearly sediment, nutrient and contaminant fluxes in global rivers. As a next step, the student will develop an application that gives users the opportunity to explore different substance fluxes around the world. On the long term, this application is planned to be integrated within GEMStat.
