Abstract:
AbstractAfter a brief review of the spirit and content of Charter principles, this essay proposes that integrated ethical re fl ection should deliberately: draw on main principles and supporting principles as interactive imperatives for a sustainable way of life; think across the four parts of the Earth Charter to emphasize combinations of principles; and bring Charter principles to bear both as general ideals and as practical guidelines. Moreover, these principles become quite lively, and we gain multi-dimensional issue perspective, when we hold the Charter in one hand and material presenting a contemporary issue analysis in the other. The essay moves on to illustrate how to make integrated use of Earth Charter principles in ethical refl ection on three key global issues: destructive economic integration, loss of biologically diverse habitat, and close confi nement of animals. In each case, the author "gathers" Earth Charter principles that illumine the problem's philosophical, ecological, socio-economic, and political dimensions, and help to shape a constructive response.

Abstract:
The Earth Charter is a declaration of values and principles for a more just, sustainable and peaceful world. Very nice you say, but ?what does such a document have to do with conservation and why is it of interest to the readers of Pacific Conservation Biology?? To answer these questions we must begin with a little history.

Abstract:
AbstractIn what sense(s) is the Earth Charter a global ethic? The Earth Charter is a global ethic as a set of values and norms which can be supported from many worldviews rather than as a "set of values and norms plus a particular worldview"; and the Earth Charter is also a global ethic as an ethic which is widely shared across the world rather than as one which is universally shared by all. What kinds of resistance does promoting the Earth Charter meet? A number of intellectual positions are addressed, such as realism in international relations and the neoliberal paradigm. The Earth Charter thus raises many issues in global ethics as an intellectual enquiry, particularly if it is thought of as a tool to be used in the spirit of critical loyalty.

Abstract:
Este estudo pretende mostrar que os princÃpios da Carta da Terra podem ser inseridos nas prÃticas de responsabilidade social adotadas pelas agroindÃstrias localizadas na zona rural. Por meio da Responsabilidade Social Empresarial (RSE), muitas das prÃticas socialmente responsÃveis encontram-se diretamente e indiretamente ligados aos valores e princÃpios desta declaraÃÃo. A Carta da Terra à o principal instrumento desta recente Iniciativa que visa promover a transiÃÃo para uma sociedade global fundamentada em um modelo de Ãtica compartilhada, que inclui o respeito e o cuidado pela comunidade da vida, a integridade ecolÃgica, a democracia e uma cultura de paz. Para as empresas, ela traz a visÃo mais abrangente e o conceito mais amplo de responsabilidade social, fornecendo elementos universais estruturados para reconhecer seu papel na humanidade. Para tanto, avaliou-se a atuaÃÃo socialmente responsÃvel da Unidade Agroindustrial do Grupo 3 CoraÃÃes no EuzÃbio â CearÃ. Utilizaram-se dados de origem primÃria, obtidos por meio de questionÃrio e dados de origem secundÃrias oriundos principalmente da Earth Charter International. As prÃticas socialmente responsÃveis propostas foram analisadas segundo os Indicadores Ethos e segundo os princÃpios e pilares da Carta da Terra e avaliadas atravÃs da metodologia EC-Assess, o que possibilitou estabelecer os variados nÃveis de implementaÃÃo, bem como os nÃveis de valorizaÃÃo dessas prÃticas na atuaÃÃo empresarial. A agroindÃstria demonstrou uma atuaÃÃo socialmente responsÃvel quanto à implementaÃÃo e a valorizaÃÃo, em vÃrios nÃveis, das aÃÃes sugeridas. Com isso, foi possÃvel perceber que à viÃvel, atravÃs de uma gestÃo socialmente responsÃvel, inserir a Carta da Terra no ramo agroindustrial e gerar ganhos para todos os pÃblicos de relacionamentos, sobretudo no meio rural, onde as carÃncias reforÃam o papel das agroindÃstrias como promotoras de crescimento e desenvolvimento e potencializa seu impacto na melhoria da qualidade de vida dessa populaÃÃo.
This study aims to show that the principles of Earth Charter can be embedded in social responsibility practices adopted by agribusinesses companies, located in the Ceara‟s country area. Through Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), many of the social responsible practices are directly and indirectly linked to values and principles of this declaration. The Earth Charter is the main instrument of this recent initiative to promote the transition to a global society based on a model of shared ethics, which includes respect and care for the community of life, ecological integrity, democracy and a culture of peace. It brings more comprehensive and broader concept of social responsibility to businesses by providing them universal elements structured to recognize their role in humanity. For this, we evaluated the performance of a social responsible agribusinesses company Unit from Group 3 Hearts in EuzÃbio - CearÃ. We used primary source data obtained through a questionnaire and secondary source data drawn mainly from the International Earth Charter. The social responsible practices proposed were analyzed according to the Ethos and the principles and pillars of the Earth Charter. Those were evaluated through the EC-Assess methodology, which enabled them to establish several levels of implementation and levels of recovery of those practices in business. The agribusinesses company has demonstrated a social responsible regarding the implementation and enhancement at various levels of suggested actions. Thus, it was possible to see what is feasible, through responsible management, entering the Earth Charter in the agroindustrial sector and generate gains for all public relations, especially in rural areas, where deprivation reinforce the role of agribusiness as promoters growth and development and maximize its impact in improving the quality of life for this population.

The Lower Charles River has been a heavily utilized urban river that runs between Cambridge and Boston in Massachusetts. The recreational usage of the river is dependent on adequate water depths and there have been no definitive prior studies on the sedimentation rate of the Lower Charles River. The river transitioned from tidal to a freshwater basin in 1908 and the study area for historical comparisons was from the old Charles River Dam to the Boston University Bridge. This study surveyed the river, digitized three prior surveys that spanned 114 years, calculated volumes and depth distributions for each survey, and estimated sedimentation rates from fits to the volumes over time. The average sedimentation rate is estimated as 5-10 mm/year, which implies 1.8-3.5 feet sedimentation since 1908. Sedimentation rates and distributions are necessary to develop comprehensive management plans for the river.

Abstract:
Ultra-cold atoms in optical lattices provide a versatile and robust platform to study fundamental condensed-matter physics problems and have applications in quantum optics as well as quantum information processing. For many of these applications, Rydberg atoms (atoms excited to large principal quantum numbers) are ideal due to its long coherence times and strong interactions. However, one of the pre-requisite for such applications is identical confinement of ground state atoms with Rydberg atoms. This is challenging for conventionally used alkali atoms. In this thesis, I discuss the potential of using alkaline-earth Rydberg atoms for many-body physics by implementing simultaneous trapping for the relevant internal states. In particular, I consider a scheme for generating multi-particle entanglement and explore charge transport in a one dimensional atomic lattice.

Abstract:
The human hand, in building as in art, has left its impression on all the earliest forms of architecture. Its mark has been one of imperfection, variation, and uniqueness, and with these traits the personification of something innately human. This character, instilled into any work, immortalizes the idiosyncrasies descriptive of its creator. Rather than viewed as anachronism, inculcating the human component, â manufactumâ , into modern design reacquaints us with our own capricious temperaments. As powerful tools of the contemporary world heighten our faculty for exactitude, the prudence remains as to whether and when it is appropriate to do so.

Abstract:
The apparel and footwear industry’s contribution to global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is one of the fifth largest per industry, equal to that of livestock, after electricity and heat, oil and gas, agriculture, and transportation (Ellen MacArthur Foundation, 2017). For industry-wide emissions reduction, investing in renewable energy and energy efficiency programs across highest impacting life cycle phases offer the most effective solution. However, identifying the highest impacting life cycles phases shows varied results depending on the particular type of business model under examination. This paper responds to the lack of existing data and empirical research on how to accurately measure, report and reduce carbon emissions across the highly complex and globally interconnected apparel value chain. This is done through a single case study investigation of an Icelandic fashion brand. A hybrid approach of a standard Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and the Sustainable Global Value Chain (SGVC) functions to produce a Hotspot Identification Tool (HIT) to establish a holistic portrayal of business operations in relation to emission impacts and level of controllability across Scopes. The conceptual analysis and qualitative results identify the most relevant emission hotspots to lie within the company’s privately owned manufacturing facilities, as well as the procurement phase, due to its direct connection with and influence on material production, user phase, and end-of-life. The main obstacle in this pursuit is identified as restriction of resources in terms of time, capital and expertise. It is suggested that this be overcome by joining a Multi-Stakeholder Initiative where resources and expertise is pooled in a pre-competitive manner to reach common objectives. The investigation further suggests a need for global fashion brands to leverage their influential position on down- and upstream activities across the value chain, i.e. with their supply chain partners and consumers. I argue that fashion brands play an integral role in supporting local efforts to build a decarbonisation pathway towards climate neutral economies on a global scale.

Abstract:
Recently, experimental observations have shown that radar echoes from the irregularity
source region associated with mesospheric dusty space plasmas may be modulated by radio wave heating with ground-based ionospheric heating facilities. These experiments show great promise as a diagnostic for the associated dusty plasma in the Near-Earth Space Environment which is believed to have links to global change. This provides an alternative to more complicated and costly space-based observational approaches to investigating these layers. This dissertation seeks to develop new analytical and computational models to investigate fundamental physics of the associated dusty plasmas as well as utilize experimental observations during High Frequency HF ground-based heating experiments to develop practical techniques for diagnosing these dusty plasma layers.
The dependency of the backscattered signal strength (i.e. Polar Mesospheric Summer Echoes PMSEs) after the turn-on and turn-off of the radio wave heating on the radar frequency is an unique phenomenon that can shed light on the unresolved issues associated with the basic physics of the natural charged mesospheric dust layer. The physical process after turn-on and turn-off of radio wave heating is explained by competing ambipolar diffusion and dust charging processes. The threshold radar frequency and dust parameters for the enhancement or suppression of radar echoes after radio wave heating turn-on are investigated for measured mesospheric plasma parameters. The effect of parameters such as the electron temperature enhancement during radiowave heating, dust density, dust charge polarity, ion-neutral collision frequency, electron density and dust radius
on the temporal evolution of electron irregularities associated with PMSE is investigated.
The possibility of observing the turn-on overshoot (enhancement of radar echoes after the
radiowave turn-on) in the high frequency HF radar band is discussed based on typical mesospheric
parameters. It has been shown that predicted enhancement of electron irregularity
amplitude after heater turn-on at HF band is the direct manifestation of the dust charging
process in the space. Therefore further active experiments of PMSEs should be pursued
at HF band to illuminate the fundamental charging physics in the space environment to
provide more insight on this unique medium. Preliminary observation results of HF PMSE
heating experiment with the new 7.9 MHz radar at the European Incoherent Scatter EISCAT
facility appear promising for the existence of PMSE turn-on overshoot. Therefore, future
experimental campaigns are planned to validate these predictions.
Computational results are used to make predictions for PMSE active modification experiments at 7.9, 56, 139, 224 and 930MHz corresponding to existing ionospheric heating facilities. Data from a 2009 very high frequency VHF (224 MHz) experiment at EISCAT
is compared with the computational model to obtain dust parameters in the PMSE. The
estimated dust parameters as a result of these comparison show very reasonable agreement to dust radius and density at PMSE altitudes measured during a recent rocket experiment providing validation to the computational model.

The first comprehensive analytical model for the temporal evolution of PMSE after heater
turn-on is developed and compared to a more accurate computational model as a reference.
It is shown that active PMSE heating experiments involving multiple observing frequencies
at 7.9 (HF), 56, and 224 MHz (VHF) may contribute further diagnostic capabilities since
the temporal evolution of radar echoes is substantially different for these frequency ranges.
It is shown that conducting PMSE active experiments at HF and VHF band simultaneously
may allow estimation of the dust density altitude profile, dust charge state variation during
the heating cycle, and ratio of electron temperature enhancement in the irregularity source
region. These theoretical and computational models are extended to study basic physics of the evolution of relevant dusty plasma instabilities thought to play an important role in irregularity production in mesospheric dust layers. A key focus is the boundary layer of these charged dust clouds. Several aspects of the cloud\'s structure (thickness of boundary layer, average particle size and density, collisional processes, and cloud expansion speed) and the ambient plasma are varied to determine the effect of these quantities on the resulting irregularities.
It was shown that for high collision frequencies, the waves may be very weakly excited (or
even quenched) and confined to the boundary layer. The excited dust acoustic waves inside
the dust cloud with frequency range of 7-15Hz and in the presence of electron bite-outs is
consistent with measured low frequency waves near 10 Hz by sounding rocket experiments
over the past decade. The observed radar echoes associated with the artificially created dust
clouds at higher altitudes in the ionosphere including space shuttle exhaust and upcoming
active space experiments in which localized dust layers will be created by sounding rockets
could be related to the excited acoustic waves predicted.
Finally, variation of spatial structures of plasma and dust (ice) irregularities in the PMSE
source region in the presence of positively charged dust particles is investigated. The correlation and anti-correlation of fluctuations in the electron and ion densities in the background plasma are studied considering the presence of positive dust particle formation. Recent rocket payloads have studied the properties of aerosol particles within the ambient plasma environment in the polar mesopause region and measured the signature of the positively charged particles with number densities of (2000 cm"3) for particles of 0.5-1 nm in radius.
The measurement of significant numbers of positively charged aerosol particles is unexpected from the standard theory of aerosol charging in plasma. Nucleation on the cluster ions is one of the most probable hypotheses for the positive charge on the smallest particles. The utility being that it may provide a test for determining the presence of positive dust particles.
The results of the model described show good agreement with observed rocket data. As an
application, the model is also applied to investigate the electron irregularity behavior during
radiowave heating assuming the presence of positive dust particles. It is shown that the
positive dust produces important changes in the behavior during Polar Mesospheric Summer Echo PMSE heating experiments that can be described by the fluctuation correlation and anti-correlation properties.
The second part of this dissertation is dedicated to Stimulated Electromagnetic Emissions SEEs produced by interaction of high power electromagnetic waves in the ionosphere. Nearearth ionospheric plasma presets a neutral laboratory for investigation of nonlinear wave phenomena in plasma which can not be studied in the laboratory environment due to the effect of physical boundary conditions. This process has been of great interest due to the
important diagnostic possibilities involving ability to determine mass of constitutive ions in
the interaction region through measurements of various gyro-frequencies. Objectives include
the consideration of the variation of the spectral behavior under pump power, proximity to
the gyro-harmonic frequency, and beam angle. Also, the relationship between such spectral
features and electron acceleration and creation of plasma irregularities was an important
focus.
Secondary electromagnetic waves excited by high power electromagnetic waves transmitted
into the ionosphere, commonly know as Stimulated Electromagnetic Emissions SEEs,
produced through Magnetized Stimulated Brillouin Scatter MSBS are investigated. Data
from two recent research campaigns at the High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program
facility HAARP is presented in this work. These experiments have provided additional
quantitative interpretation of the SEE spectrum produced by MSBS to yield diagnostic measurements of the electron temperature in the heated ionosphere. SEE spectral emission lines corresponding to ion acoustic IA and electrostatic ion cyclotron EIC modes were observed with a shift in frequency up to a few tens of Hz from radio waves transmitted near the third harmonic of the electron gyro-frequency 3fce. The threshold of each emission line has been measured by changing the pump wave amplitude. The experimental results aimed to show the threshold for transmitter power to excite IA waves propagating along the magnetic field lines as well as for EIC waves excited at oblique angles relative to the background magnetic field. A full wave solution has been used to estimate the amplitude of the electric field at the interaction altitude. The estimated growth rate using the theoretical model is compared with the threshold of MSBS lines in the experiment and possible diagnostic information for the background ionospheric plasmas is discussed. Simultaneous formation of artificial field aligned irregularities FAIs and suppression of the MSBS process is investigated. Recently, there has been significant interest in ion gyro-harmonic structuring the Stimulated Electromagnetic Emission SEE spectrum due to the potential for new diagnostic information available about the heated volume and ancillary processes such as creation of artificial ionization layers. These relatively recently discovered emission lines have almost exclusively been studied for second electron gyro-harmonic heating. The first extensive systematic investigations of the possibility of these spectral features for third electron gyro-harmonic heating are provided here. Discrete spectral features shifted from the transmit frequency ordered by harmonics of the ion gyro-frequency were observed for third electron gyro-harmonic heating for the first time at a recent campaign at a High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program Facility HAARP. These features were also closely correlated with a broader band feature at a larger frequency shift from the transmit frequency known as the Downshifted Peak DP. The power threshold of these spectral features was measured, as well as their behavior with heater
beam angle, and proximity of the transmit frequency to the third electron gyro-harmonic frequency. Comparisons were also made with similar spectral features observed during 2nd
electron gyro-harmonic heating during the same campaign. A theoretical model is provided
that interprets these spectral features as resulting from parametric decay instabilities in
which the pump field ultimately decays into high frequency upper hybrid/electron Bernstein
and low frequency neutralized ion Bernstein IB and/or obliquely propagating ion acoustic
waves at the upper hybrid interaction altitude. Coordinated optical and SEE observations
were carried out in order to provide a better understanding of electron acceleration and precipitation
processes. Optical emissions were observed associated with SEE gyro-harmonic
features for pump heating near the second electron gyro-harmonic during the campaign. The
observations affirm strong correlation between the gyro-structures and the airglow.

Abstract:
AbstractIn this chapter we discuss the concepts that govern the motion of charged particles in the geomagnetic field and the principles how they stay trapped in the radiation belts. The basic particle orbit theory can be found in most plasma physics textbooks. We partly follow the presentation in Koskinen (Physics of space storms, from solar surface to the earth. Springer-Praxis, Heidelberg, 2011). A more detailed discussion can be found in Roederer and Zhang (Dynamics of magnetically trapped particles. Springer, Heidelberg, 2014).

Abstract:
AbstractThe main sources of charged particles in the Earth’s inner magnetosphere are the Sun and the Earth’s ionosphere. Furthermore, the Galactic cosmic radiation is an important source of protons in the inner radiation belt, and roughly every 13 years, when the Earth and Jupiter are connected via the interplanetary magnetic field, a small number of electrons originating from the magnetosphere of Jupiter are observed in the near-Earth space. The energies of solar wind and ionospheric plasma particles are much smaller than the particle energies in radiation belts. A major scientific task is to understand the transport and acceleration processes leading to the observed populations up to relativistic energies. Equally important is to understand the losses of the charged particles. The great variability of the outer electron belt is a manifestation of the continuously changing balance between source and loss mechanisms, whereas the inner belt is much more stable.

Abstract:
The anthropocentric approach that characterizes all human knowledge has led to a distortion of the relationship with Nature and a view of it as a mere object of law. This approach, presumably originating with Socrates, had solid support in Plato, Aristotle, Ptolemy, and finally, in Catholic patristics, hinging on all disciplines starting from philosophy, psychology, economics, up to law. Dwelling on the latter, examples of legislation that qualify Nature as an object of law are, increasingly over time, the Forest Charter of 1217, the Italian Law No. 1766 of 1927 on civic uses, and furthermore – Art. 812 of the Italian Civil Code, and finally – the cd. Consolidated Environmental Law. This view is, however, changing in some states such as Bolivia, New Zealand, India, Ecuador, Uganda, – the states that through either legislative acts or rulings of supreme courts have begun the process of granting both to Mother Earth in general, and rivers in particular, the status of juridical persons which are endowed with series of very personal rights, which are recognized. This is not the case in Europe, where the relevant legislation continues to consider Nature (or, better, the Environment) as an object of law, therefore as a “thing” from which to draw, albeit within certain limits, utilities of all kinds. By analysing legal instruments potentially useful for a Copernican revolution on this point – in particular, the Kelsenian concept of “legal person”, the meaning of “company” and the European provisions on Artificial Intelligence – the first conclusion is reached: in a relationship that is not only theoretical, but also practical and utilitarian, it would be opportune to start considering, also through acknowledgments in constitutional sources, the Nature as a subject and no longer an object of rights. In this regard, following the general theories of people’s rights, it could be granted certain absolute rights, of which the right to water, restoration and biodiversity are examined in the current article. Hence, we come to the second conclusion, namely, the contrasts that, in Western law, such an approach could suffer, analysing in particular the problems of neo-naturalism and representation.

Abstract:
Abstract. The study was aimed at microstructure investigations of melt-spun rare-earth intermetallic compounds using atomic force microscopy. Surface morphology of R2Fe14B (R = Y, Nd, Gd, Er) was studied with nanometric resolution. Grain structure features were discovered depending on the rare-earth element composition and quenching regime. Grain size dependence on rare earth elements' composition decreased with the metal's serial number and atomic weight. Wherein structural size dependence on quenching wheel speed had non-linear character: increase the speed from 20 to 30 m/s led to 3 times decrease of the grain size and significant surface roughness reduction.

Abstract:
We demonstrate, we believe for the first time, the capability of spatial pattern recognition by backward stimulated photon echo (BSPE) in a low temperature solid activated by rare earth ions. The BSPE experiment is done with three time-delayed input laser pulses. The first pulse (DATA) contains several characters in its beam profile, the second pulse (WRITE) is a plane wave, and the third (READ) has the search character. The echo pulse profile has peak intensity at the position of the search character. The experiment has a time scale of several tens of nanoseconds. Pattern recognition by BSPE is a result of the convolution/correlation property of holographic four-wave mixing geometry. In contrast to the photorefractive processes, however, the BSPE in rare earth-doped solids is a resonant coherent optical transient effect. By combining spatial and temporal holographic processes of BSPE, it would be possible to construct a high density, high speed optical processor of spatial and temporal data using BSPE.

Abstract:
Optical fiber photosensitivity can be triggered by photochemical processes associated with a large variety of dopants. Thus, photosensitivity in germanosilicate fibers has been related to absorption of light at a germanium defect absorption band located near 5 eV [1] [2]. Photosensitivity in rare-earth doped glasses or optical fibers has been demonstrated by pumping of ion transitions. For example, we have recently reported permanent index changes in Ce3+ doped ZBLAN, HBLAN and ZBLALi fluorozirconate glasses or fibers through the pumping of 4f → 5d Ce3+ transitions using a pulsed laser [3] [4]. In most of the experiments dealing with rare-earth or germanium doped glasses or fibers, it was reported that grating inscriptions led to broad absorption changes which were attributed to photoinduced charge transfer from donors to trap sites. This suggests that charge transfer is a common effect involved in grating photoinscription within all the up to now studied insulating glass fibers. Experiments have been carried out with a view to finding other analogies or differences between photosensitive behaviors of gratings written in various glasses. The aim of the talk is to report results of these experiments with a specific emphasis on the dynamics of grating formation.

Abstract:
Despite notable progress in reducing global poverty and hunger in recent decades, about one out of nine people in the world suffers from hunger and malnutrition. Stakeholders charged with making decisions pertaining to agricultural production, development priorities, and policies at a region-to-country scale require quantitative and up-to-date information on the types of crops being cultivated, the acreage under cultivation, and crop yields. However, many low- and middle-income countries lack the infrastructure and resources for frequent and extensive agricultural field surveys to obtain this information. Technology supports a change of paradigm. Traditional methods of obtaining agricultural information through field surveys are increasingly being augmented by images of the Earth acquired through sensors placed on satellites. The continued improvement in the resolution of satellite images, the establishment of open-access infrastructure for processing of the images, and the recent revolutionary progress in artificial intelligence make it feasible to obtain the information at low cost and in near-to-real time. In this brief, we discuss the use of satellite images to provide information about agricultural production in low-income countries, and we comment on research challenges and opportunities. We highlight the near-term potential of the methodology in the context of Rwanda, a country in sub-Saharan Africa whose government has recognized early the value of information technology in its strategic planning for food security and sustainability.

Abstract:
Higher education related to water is a critical component of capacity development necessary to support countries’ progress towards Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) overall, and towards the SDG6 water and sanitation goal in particular. Although the precise number is unknown, there are at least 28,000 higher education institutions in the world. The actual number is likely higher and constantly changing. Water education programmes are very diverse and complex and can include components of engineering, biology, chemistry, physics, hydrology, hydrogeology, ecology, geography, earth sciences, public health, sociology, law, and political sciences, to mention a few areas. In addition, various levels of qualifications are offered, ranging from certificate, diploma, baccalaureate, to the master’s and doctorate (or equivalent) levels. The percentage of universities offering programmes in ‘water’ ranges from 40% in the USA and Europe to 1% in subSaharan Africa. There are no specific data sets available for the extent or quality of teaching ‘water’ in universities. Consequently, insights on this have to be drawn or inferred from data sources on overall research and teaching excellence such as Scopus, the Shanghai Academic Ranking of World Universities, the Times Higher Education, the Ranking Web of Universities, the Our World in Data website and the UN Statistics Division data. Using a combination of measures of research excellence in water resources and related topics, and overall rankings of university teaching excellence, universities with representation in both categories were identified. Very few universities are represented in both categories. Countries that have at least three universities in the list of the top 50 include USA, Australia, China, UK, Netherlands and Canada. There are universities that have excellent reputations for both teaching excellence and for excellent and diverse research activities in water-related topics. They are mainly in the USA, Europe, Australia and China. Other universities scored well on research in water resources but did not in teaching excellence. The approach proposed in this report has potential to guide the development of comprehensive programmes in water. No specific comparative data on the quality of teaching in water-related topics has been identified. This report further shows the variety of pathways which most water education programmes are associated with or built in – through science, technology and engineering post-secondary and professional education systems. The multitude of possible institutions and pathways to acquire a qualification in water means that a better ‘roadmap’ is needed to chart the programmes. A global database with details on programme curricula, qualifications offered, duration, prerequisites, cost, transfer opportunities and other programme parameters would be ideal for this purpose, showing country-level, regional and global search capabilities. Cooperation between institutions in preparing or presenting water programmes is currently rather limited. Regional consortia of institutions may facilitate cooperation. A similar process could be used for technical and vocational education and training, although a more local approach would be better since conditions, regulations and technologies vary between relatively small areas. Finally, this report examines various factors affecting the future availability of water professionals. This includes the availability of suitable education and training programmes, choices that students make to pursue different areas of study, employment prospects, increasing gender equity, costs of education, and students’ and graduates’ mobility, especially between developing and developed countries. This report aims to inform and open a conversation with educators and administrators in higher education especially those engaged in water education or preparing to enter that field. It will also benefit students intending to enter the water resources field, professionals seeking an overview of educational activities for continuing education on water and government officials and politicians responsible for educational activities
