Ramanathan has been working in the Indian Himalayas for over 18 years and developed a state-of-the-art glacier mass balance model, particularly for the western Himalayan glaciers. His work has been cited in the IPCC Fifth Assessment Report (AR5). The study shows that snow accumulation is the major driver for healthy glaciers and runoff. Summer snowfall has a high impact on glacier mass balance (MB) i.e. albedo-feedback mechanism. His work revealed that the glaciers at low elevations and smaller in size are retreating faster due to a decrease in annual precipitation and increase of mean annual temperature, driven by incoming solar radiation during summer that controls MB. He observed that the western Himalayan glacier‘s terminus is retreating but the shrinkage is discontinuous. The glacier dynamics and MB of his study revealed steady-state glacier conditions during 1986-2000 in the Lahaul-Spiti region as against the general perception of the rapidly shrinking of Himalayan

  • TWAS an Rep IMP
    annual re2p0or1t 0 TWAS, the academy of sciences for the developing world, is an autonomous international organization that promotes scientific capacity and excellence in the South. Founded in 1983 by a group of eminent scientists under the leadership of the late Nobel laureate Abdus Salam of Pakistan, TWAS was officially launched in Trieste, Italy, in 1985, by the secretary-general of the United Nations. TWAS has nearly 1,000 members from over 90 countries. More than 80% of its members are from developing countries. A 13-member council directs the Academy activities. A secretariat, headed by an executive director, coordinates the programmes. The Academy’s secretariat is located on the premises of the Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) in Trieste, Italy. TWAS’s administration and finances are overseen by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) in accordance with an agreement signed by the two organizations. The Italian government provides a major portion of the Academy’s funding. The main objectives of TWAS are to: • Recognize, support and promote excellence in scientific research in the developing world; • Respond to the needs of young researchers in science and technology- lagging developing countries; • Promote South-South and South-North cooperation in science, technology and innovation; • Encourage scientific research and sharing of experiences in solving major problems facing developing countries. To help achieve these objectives, TWAS collaborates with a number of organizations, most notably UNESCO, ICTP and the International Centre for Biotechnology and Genetic Engineering (ICGEB). academy of sciences for the developing world TWAS COUNCIL President Jacob Palis (Brazil) Immediate Past President C.N.R.

  • Coastal Pine-Oak Glacial Refugia in the Mediterranean Basin: a Biogeographic Approach Based on Charcoal Analysis and Spatial Modelling

Received: 12 May 2020; Accepted: 10 June 2020; Published: 12 June 2020 Abstract: During the glacial episodes of the Quaternary, European forests were restricted to small favourable spots, namely refugia, acting as biodiversity reservoirs. the Iberian, Italian and Balkan peninsulas have been considered as the main glacial refugia of trees in Europe. In this study, we estimate the composition of the last glacial forest in a coastal cave of the Cilento area (SW Italy) in seven time frames, spanning from the last Pleniglacial to the Late Glacial. Charcoal analyses were performed in seven archaeological layers. Furthermore, a paleoclimate modelling (Maxent) approach was used to complement the taxonomic identification of charcoal fragments to estimate the past potential distribution of tree species in Europe. Our results showed that the mesothermophilous forest survived in this region in the core of the Mediterranean basin during the Last Glacial Period (LGP, since ~36 ka cal BP), indicating that this area played an important role as a reservoir of woodland biodiversity.

  • Coastal Reservoir-A Technology That May Dominate Future Water Supply Shu-Qing Yang School of Civil, Mining and Environmental Engineering, Univ
    Journal of Water Resource and Hydraulic Engineering Oct. 2015, Vol. 4 Iss. 4, PP. 388-397 Coastal Reservoir-a Technology That May Dominate Future Water Supply Shu-Qing Yang School of Civil, Mining and Environmental Engineering, Univ. of Wollongong [email protected] Abstract-New large dam construction is a worldwide problem due to its negative impacts on the ecosystem, and as a result, it is crucial to investigate the future water supply infrastructures. After comparison with the existing solutions for water supply, such as inland reservoirs, desalination plants and wastewater reuse facilities, we conclude that coastal reservoir will be the dominant solution in the future because: a) increasing numbers of people migrate towards coastal/deltaic regions and more megacities are emerging along the coastline; consequently the water shortage on the coastline is the most severe; b) the future water deficit is huge (about 10 times the flow of the Nile river), with no solution other than the implementations of coastal reservoirs, freshwater reservoirs in the seawater to develop runoff from rivers, able to provide so much water. Now the world only uses 1/6 of total runoff, with the remaining 5/6 of runoff lost to the sea; c) all solutions for water supply have significant impacts on the environment, and only the strategy of using coastal reservoirs is sustainable, as it is without brine as a by-productor high carbon emissions. This paper discusses the supply of water to Beijing and Tianjin, the most notorious region in the world for its thirst. It is found that the water shortage problem in the region can be solved, the efficiency of South-North Water Diversion Project can be improved significantly, and carbon emission can be reduced in the region if this new solution is applied.
