Dear colleagues, we would like to invite you to participate in the Business Meeting of the “Task Team on Global Policy Advice” of the Global Geoscience Societies with the title: How can we succeed in raising the prominence of the geosciences on the global policy agenda? This event will take place during the International Geological Congress in Busan, Korea (https://lnkd.in/dZWeFZ9B) on Monday 26 August, 16.00-17:30 in meeting room M217 of the BEXCO Congress Center. Register here: https://lnkd.in/dEiJFfmX (number 12), by clicking on the “Go to application” button on the right side of the web page. This is a free event, and the deadline for registration is Friday, August 16, but you can also attend without registering.  Convener(s) Ed Robeck (American Geosciences Institute) Yamirka Rojas-Agramonte (International Union of Geological Sciences) Elena Robinson (American Geophysical Union) Alexander Rudloff (International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics) John Ludden (International Union of Geological Sciences)   Panelist Janice Lachance (American Geophysical Union)   Munira Raji (Sustainable Earth Institute, University of Plymouth) Ester Sztein (Geological Society of America) Michael Kehinde (Environment Agency UK)   Description As themes of climate change, environment, hazards, energy, and resources dominate global headlines, the need for sound, timely, and digestible scientific advice in public policymaking is on the rise. Many scientific unions and societies representing the breadth of the geoscience community are working to put geoscience at the heart of emergent and evolving policy topics by operating some kind of science-policy function. Through the promotion of evidence-informed solutions to global societal challenges, these organizations aim to integrate geoscience into global policy considerations. But are they delivering? In this debate, we aim to explore the challenges and successes experienced by geoscience unions and societies around the world as they engage in various ways with the processes of science policy development and application at all levels of society (i.e., from the local to the international level). It will discuss whether such representative organizations meet the expectations of the communities they represent in the field of geosciences and related activities such as education, resource management, production, and infrastructure development.

Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineering - are you a subscriber? The Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) proceedings team asked me to write a briefing paper, explaining the concept 'Nature-Positive' and how civil engineers are vital to the change we need. It is available to subscribers, and the abstract is free to read so please have a look, and share with your contacts: "Time for transformation – the opportunity for civil engineering to contribute to a nature-positive future" It is particularly timely with #COP16 on #Biodiversity happening from 21 October to 1 November. https://lnkd.in/eh28skpw #NatureOnTheAgenda

I’m thrilled to announce the completion of the Mastering MODFLOW: Advanced Groundwater Flow Modeling course on Udemy, instructed by Ibrahim Sherif, MBA. This course has been an enriching experience, equipping me with advanced skills in groundwater modeling using MODFLOW. Key Takeaways from the Course: - Creating precise steady-state groundwater flow models - Calibration techniques to ensure accurate representations - Developing dynamic transient (unsteady) groundwater flow models - Fine-tuning and calibrating transient models effectively - Utilizing advanced display options for enhanced visualization - Generating critical plots to analyze and interpret model results - Gaining an in-depth understanding of the flow budget Throughout the course, I had hands-on experience with several essential tools including Groundwater Modeling System (GMS), ArcGIS, Excel, and Global Mapper. This knowledge directly supports my work in Hydroinformatics and Management of Hydro Systems, especially in projects like groundwater level predictions and flood risk assessments. I’m eager to apply these skills and collaborate with fellow professionals in creating sustainable water management solutions! 💧 #GroundwaterModeling #Hydrogeology #MODFLOW #Hydroinformatics #WaterResources #ContinuousLearning #IbrahimSherif #Udemy
