Participate and submit an abstract to this special session at the American Geophysical Union 2012 Fall Meeting. AGU Fall meeting (3-7 December 2012) will be held in San Francisco, USA.
H049: Using Remote Sensing and Global Weather Datasets for Hydrologic Modeling in Data-Scarce Regions: Opportunities and Challenges
Co-conveners: Gabriel Senay, Mekonnen Gebremicheal, and Naga Manohar Velpuri
Description: Hydrologic modeling in data-scarce regions is challenging because in situ data required to parameterize, calibrate, validate and operate hydrologic models are not available. Remote sensing and global weather datasets that offer consistent and spatially distributed data have brought a new dimension to hydrologic modeling in data scarce regions. However, there is a clear need to understand and articulate the opportunities and challenges of using such datasets. In this session, we encourage submissions that address this need. This session also responds to one of the IAHS's Predictions in Ungauged Basins Initiative goals.
Index Terms: [1846] HYDROLOGY / Model calibration; [1847] HYDROLOGY / Modeling; [1855] HYDROLOGY / Remote sensing and [1874] HYDROLOGY / Ungaged basins
The deadline for all submissions is August 8, 23:59 EDT. You can submit your abstract online at http://agu-fm12.abstractcentral.com

Detecting Cultural Landscape in Mediterranean
Archaeology (DeCLaMA)
TERRE DEL CHIANTI - SEPTEMBER 17th- 22nd 2012
The combination "landscape-archaeology" represents a great opportunity for economic and social development. This perspective formed the idea of this course. The traces of the historical land use represent the main elements in the Mediterranean Cultural Landscape, characterized by the same variety and beauty of the archaeological and architectural heritage, but poor known.
The course is aimed to give the tools for discovering and preserving the
Cultural Landscapes, working towards their analysis and evaluation mainly in archaeological
areas, proposing an innovative perspective of management by a multidisciplinary
approach, involving botanists, archaeologists, geographers, land managers and architects.

CliChaMoR Summer School 2012
The Z_GIS Summer School 2012 is dedicated to the theme of "Climate Change in Mountain Regions: meta-disciplinary impacts, causes, consequences and mitigation and adaptation strategies" and is hosted by Salzburg University's Centre for Geoinformatics (Z_GIS).
The vital importance of climate change for the existence of life on Earth is more and more recognised by society and meanwhile also underpinned by the work of numerous scientists. Coping with and adapting to climate change are key challenges to a sustainable and balanced territorial development in the European mountain environment that requires joint transnational cooperation and action. Climate change implies the increase of Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and temperature as well as changed precipitation patterns. Any change of these important climate parameters has implications on the frequency and extent of water availability, natural hazards, tourism activities, ecological conditions of rivers and lakes, shifts of vegetation zones, etc. These impacts, uncertainties, risks, and vulnerabilities resulting from climate change have not only been analysed in various Alpine Space projects but also in other international mountain projects (e.g. from successive European Commission Framework Programmes, e.g. BramaTWinn, KultuRisk). However, there has been little synthesis work on impacts of climate change on tourism, water scarcity, spatial planning, forests, neither on permafrost environments nor on rivers and lakes. Moreover, a thorough interdisciplinary cross mountain analysis requires spatially and temporally concerted management actions in mountain regions. This process has only recently been started with the EEA Report for the Alps coordinated by Martin Price, our contact person at the Perth College, Scotland, and the Clim-ATIC initiative (http://www.clim-atic.org).
Participants with an interest in GIS, Remote Sensing and Landscape Ecology are welcome to attend this short intensive course from June 25 - July 06, 2012 in the world cultural heritage city of Salzburg. Please note that a number of seats are reserved for Erasmus Lifelong Learning partners.
Online registration is possible from February 1 until May 15, 2012.
Participants have also access to the Geoinformatics Forum / AGIT conference from July 03 - 06, 2012. Conferences are included in the course fee.
