SUMMARY:Seminar: Ocean management - linking satellite and socio-economic data
DESCRIPTION:‘Ocean management: Linking satellite and socio-economic data to inform sustainability’  \nEleni Papathanasopoulou and Hayley Evers-King \nKNOTS meeting area\nInstitute of Development Studies\n1-2.30pm on 6 October 2015 \nOceans are playing an increasingly important role in countries’ development strategies to address issues such as food security\, unemployment and poverty. Aquaculture has been identified as one of the priority areas for these strategies and investment. However\, it is unclear where aquaculture farms should be located and what their potential socio-economic impacts will be. \nThis talk explores how satellite and socio-economic data can be linked and used to address these uncertainties for England\, Scotland and South Africa. It will describe the data and images produced by satellite systems in terms of its temporal and spatial resolutions\, ability to identify areas of high water quality\, harmful algal blooms and monitor environmental change. The benefits of superimposing socio-economic information\, such as employment and industries’ economic contributions\, onto these satellite images and their use in sustainability analyses will be presented and explored in terms of the added value in combining these datasets. The next steps in developing a web-based visualisation tool to host and provide the capability to query the project’s data will be discussed. \nAll welcome. \nAbout Dr Papathanasopoulou and Dr Evers-King\nDr Eleni Papathanasopoulou is an economist based at the Plymouth Marine Laboratory using input-output\, general equilibrium and macroeconomic perspectives to assess the impacts of changes in the environment to whole economic and social systems. She has recently applied these approaches to estimate the economic impacts of harmful algal blooms (HABs) in England\, health cost savings of aquatic physical activities and the social implications of changes in coastal communities. She holds an ESRC-Satellite Applications Catapult fellowship (2015-16) which is funding the work being presented. \nDr Hayley Evers-King is a marine Earth observation scientist at Plymouth Marine Laboratory specialising in the development of novel algorithms and applications for ocean colour satellite data. Her research has involved detection of high biomass (HABs) in South Africa\, and assessments of interannual variability of these blooms in coastal regions with developing aquaculture and fishing industries. She is developing capacity for coastal water quality remote sensing using the new generation of high and medium resolution Earth observation satellites. \n

SUMMARY:Seminar: The Politics of Integrated Water Resources Management in Africa
DESCRIPTION:1.00-2.00 Friday 2 May 2014\nConvening Space\, Institute of Development Studies\nAll welcome \nSpeakers include: \n\nAndrew Tarimo (Sokoine University of Agriculture)\nEmmanuel Manzungu (University of Zimbabwe)\nBill Derman (Noragric)\nAlex Bolding\, (Wageningen University)\nBarbara Van Koppen (IWMI\, South Africa)\nSynne Movik (NIVA)\nAlan Nicol (Global Water Initiative)\n\nSince the early 1990s\, Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) has been the dominant paradigm in water resources management. IWRM adoption has led to water reform and the rewriting of national policies in many countries in southern Africa. \nIn this seminar we draw on findings from the project Flows and Practices: The Politics of IWRM in Africa to ask: Why has IWRM been so influential in southern Africa? How do abstract ideas of IWRM which evolved in global institutions cope with plural\, overlapping and competing formal and informal legal and customary systems in southern Africa? Has IWRM succeeded in addressing issues concerning equity\, class\, race and gender and in reallocating water in an equitable way?  What does this mean for overall development and poverty reduction? \nPresenters will address these questions by drawing on ongoing research in South Africa\, Zimbabwe\, Mozambique and Tanzania.

SUMMARY:Transition Pathways to Water Sensitive Cities
DESCRIPTION:Fjalar de Haan\, Annette Bos\, Briony Ferguson\nResearch Fellows at Monash Water for Liveability\nMonash University\, Melbourne\, Australia \nClimate change\, resource limitations\, changing demographics\, ageing infrastructure and evolving community values are putting pressure on urban water systems around the world. In response\, the concept of a water sensitive city has emerged in science\, policy and practice\, as a vision for how a city’s liveability\, sustainability and resilience can take shape in relation to water management. \nThe Urban Water Transitions and Governance (UWTAG) group\, part of the interdisciplinary research centre Monash Water for Liveability\, aims to understand and contribute to change in policy and practice for enabling transition pathways to water sensitive cities. UWTAG’s research is both fundamental and problem based\, integrating empirical\, theoretical and modelling approaches to establish robust knowledge and operational tools and frameworks. \nThis presentation will showcase two recent UWTAG projects that focus on the question of how to build socio-political capital at different levels in society for steering fundamental change in urban water practices. One project examined an alternative planning approach for local sustainable stormwater management in the Cooks River catchment of Sydney. The second project implemented a transition scenario process for Melbourne as a future water sensitive city. Both projects involved innovative participatory approaches to water governance and strategic planning and drew on a range of frameworks and methods\, including governance experimentation\, transitions management\, social learning and institutional change. \nAll welcome
