Roland Wollast died on July 28 in the Academic Hospital of Brussels (Belgium) at the age of 72, of complications arising from bypass heart surgery. Although his health had been somehow delicate for some time, he was still very active until the last minutes preceding his admission to the hospital, reviewing a paper of his close colleague and friend Fred Mackenzie, commenting on a Ph.D. manuscript and finalizing his last contribution over estuarine dynamics. His sudden death has been a great shock for all his relatives, friends and colleagues. ... [read full article] | | | | Click here to view or post job positions | |
 Through a little research I discovered the existence of a museum dedicated to Sichuan's ancient brine/ salt/ gas industry. Called The Salt Museum, it is located in Zigong City, named after two of its famous salt wells, about three hours drive south of the provincial capital Chengdu. I resigned myself to the fact that it was highly unlikely I'd be close to China in the near future, let alone Zigong. Then earlier this year, out of the blue, a business-related trip to Chengdu materialized, and I was determined to make the trip to The Salt Museum while over there. It all worked out, and this article is the result. My aim is to provide interested readers with an understanding of the fascinating achievements of these people hundreds of years ago. As with my previous article this is not a scholarly analysis, but rather an amateur's efforts to share his enthusiasm, and provide entertaining and stimulating reading. ...

 This paper originates from a major EU funded research program “The Impact of Climate Change on Hydrological Regimes and Water Resources in Europe”, (EV5V-CT93-0293 and EV5V-CT94-0114). The overall aim of this project was to assess the potential impact of climate change due to global warming on hydrological characteristics and water resources in Europe. The study worked on a hierarchical basis, considering the European Scale, the regional scale (the Rhine Basin) and the catchment scale through case studies in a number of catchments in different climate and landscape regions in Europe, and used a consistent set of climate change scenarios. These scenarios were derived from the output of global climate simulation models. An assessment of the variability in hydrological behaviour over time provided a context for the estimation of future changes. The project involved 18 institutions in 11 European Countries.
The project explored the effects of uncertainty on the estimated effects of climate change, and also considered the implications of climate change for the management of water resources. Increased demand management will make an important contribution by reducing stresses on water resources, but the major implication of uncertain climate change is that it will be necessary to adopt an adaptive approach to water management, based on the consideration of a range of scenarios for climate and other uncertain future changes. ...
