2-Year Postdoctoral Fellowship with EAWAG
Eawag, the Swiss Federal Institute of Aquatic Science and Technology, is an internationally networked aquatic research institute within the ETH Domain (Swiss Federal Institutes of Technology). It conducts research to achieve the dual goals of meeting direct human needs for water and maintaining the function and integrity of aquatic ecosystems.
Highly qualified individuals are invited to apply for a 2-Year Postdoctoral Fellowship to conduct research in any field in the area of aquatic science and technology. For more information or to apply please click here.
Call for turbidity, reflectance and Secchi disk depth Data
AquaWatch is developing an initial product suite for Work Package 3 – visible demonstration products of water quality parameters. The purpose of this product is to demonstrate to users today’s capability of the global community to produce water related information at global scale. This Aquawatch Demonstration product shall be based on products readily available from community members.
This product suite will include an NTU turbidity product, a Secchi disk depth product, a diffuse attenuation coefficient product, and a surface reflectance product. Absorption and scattering information will also be included where appropriate for added value and product comparability. The product will be done at three resolutions – 1 km, 300 m and 100 m. The product will be coherent globally at the 1 km level, continent or country level at 300m and regional “zoom-in” at the ≤100 m level.
AquaWatch Meeting in Koblenz 2016
The GEO Water Quality Community of Practice – AquaWatch – held a meeting at the German Federal Institute of Hydrology on June 8 – 10, 2016. Day 1 of the workshop was a joint session with the GEO Integrated Global Water Cycle Observations (IGWCO) community of practice. The remainder of the meeting was focused on the development of AquaWatch projects. See the agenda, meeting summary and below presentations for additional information.
