A full list of officers of the International Association of Hydrological Sciences has been received since publication of the February 12 issue of EOS.

Committee to study remote sensing for hydrology

Officers of the International Association of Hydrological Sciences (IAHS) decided at the December general assembly of the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics (IUGG) in Canberra, Australia, that the time was right to set up a formal group to ‘promote, communicate, and coordinate the applications of remote sensing and data transmission to hydrologic problems.’The result was the International Committee on Remote Sensing and Data Transmission for Hydrology, a formal working group which will have an international membership of researchers involved in all phases of hydrologic study.

Bibliography on Discharge Measurement Techniques

The Task Committee’s charge relative to flow measurement included a review of techniques available, the encouragement of research in flow measurement, and the preparation of a final report. Two older published bibliographies concerning flow measurement are well known and generally available. The first, by Kolupaila covers the science and art of flow measurement from its historical beginnings to approximately 1960. The second, by Dowden begins with the year 1950 and covers contributions to approximately 1970. In 1970 during the tenure of the Task Committee, a symposium on hydrometry was held at Koblenz, Germany, under the auspices of the International Association of Hydrological Sciences. A 1975 paper published in the Transactions of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers is also referenced as a worthwhile evaluation of measurement methods. Hopefully, this bibliography will provide a ready reference for those engaged in utilizing and developing methods of hydrometry.

Land Subsidence Symposium

The Second International Symposium on Land Subsidence was held in Anaheim, California. December 13–17, 1976. Organized by the AGU within the framework of Unesco's International Hydrological Program, it was sponsored jointly by the International Association of Hydrological Sciences, International Association of Hydrogeologists, International Society for Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering, U.S. National Committee for Scientific Hydrology, and Unesco.Papers presented ranged from mathematical modeling studies through general descriptions of project progress and subsidence case histories to legal and economic aspects of subsidence. The program was very broad in scope, covering theory, investigation, measurement, prediction, and control of subsidence, including land‐surface sinking resulting from withdrawal of water, oil, or gas, dewatering of organic deposits, hydrocompaction, extraction of solids by mining, and collapse of limestones.

International Association of Hydrological Sciences

Approximately 120 engineers and scientists from 20 countries attended the September 1975 meetings of the International Association of Hydrological Sciences (IAHS) in Grenoble, France. Of the attendees, approximately 20 were from the United States. A. Ivan Johnson (Office of Water Data Coordination, U.S. Geological Survey, Reston, Virginia) served as Chief U.S. Delegate to IAHS and as member of the Bureau of IAHS. William C. Ackermann (Illinois State Water Survey, Urbana) served as Alternate Chief Delegate to IAHS and as Member of the Bureau of IUGG.

International Survey on Land Subsidence

The International Association of Hydrological Sciences (IAHS) is conducting a detailed survey on land subsidence occurrence, research, and remedial activities throughout the world. The questionnaire requests information on location, causes, amounts, and rates of subsidence; problems and costs resulting from the subsidence and remedial measures taken; research completed or active; and list of publications describing the area or research.Plans call for IAHS to publish all responses received from this survey. In addition, the information will be summarized in a state of the art paper at the Second International Symposium on Land Subsidence, to be held in Anaheim, California, December 10–17, 1976.

Land Subsidence subject of international meeting

An International Symposium on Land Subsidence is planned for December 13 to 17, 1976, at the Royal Inn near Disneyland, Anaheim, California. The symposium is sponsored by the International Association of Hydrological Sciences, International Association of Hydrogeologists, and International Society for Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering, with the cooperation and assistance of Unesco and the American Geophysical Union.The symposium will be held during the week following the 1976 Fall Annual Meeting of AGU (December 6 to 9) in San Fransicso.

Celebration held: Tercentenary of Scientific Hydrology

To celebrate 300 years of scientific hydrology, nearly 400 engineers and scientists from 82 countries attended the Tercentenary of Scientific Hydrology and associated international symposia held at Unesco House in Paris, France, from September 9 to 12, 1974. The celebration was sponsored by Unesco, the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), and the International Association of Hydrological Sciences (IAHS) within the framework of the International Hydrological Decade (IHD).During the period September 2–14 an International Conference on the Results of the IHD and on Future Programs in Hydrology also took place at Unesco, and the Bureau (executive board) of the IAHS held meetings to carry out its annual business. R.E. Oltman (Engineer Consultant, Falls Church, Virginia) and A.I. Johnson (U.S. Geological Survey, Reston, Virginia) were U.S. representatives at the IAHS Bureau meeting; Johnson also served as U.S. coordinator of the tercentenary and its symposia.

International meetings from WMO Bulletin: USSR Hydrologists Hold Fourth Congress [Three Meeting Reports From the World Meteorological Organization Bulletin

Hydrological congresses in the USSR attract large numbers of scientists and experts concerned with the study of surface and groundwater, the planning of water resource utilization and protection, and the design and operation of projects in water resources systems. These congresses represent important stages in the development of hydrology and in the assessment of the present state and determination of trends of hydrological research as applied to the needs of the economic and social development of Soviet society.The Fourth Congress of USSR Hydrologists took place in Leningrad from October 9 to 13, 1973. It was attended by 1016 delegates and 374 guests, including 20 academicians and corresponding members of the USSR Academy of Sciences and of the Academies of Sciences of the Union Republics. There were 39 guests from Hungary, Poland, the German Democratic Republic, Czechoslovakia, Bulgaria, Romania, Yugoslavia, Mongolia, and Finland and also representatives of Unesco, WMO, the Danube Commission, and the International Association of Hydrological Sciences.

Symposium on Thermal Waters: Papers solicited

A call for papers has been issued for the International Symposium on Thermal and Chemical Problems of Thermal Waters, to be held during the Sixteenth General Assembly of the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics (IUGG) on the campus of the University of Grenoble, France, August 29–September 1, 1975. Sponsors of the symposium are the International Association of Hydrological Sciences (IAHS) and the International Association of Volcano logy and Chemistry of the Earth's Interior (IAVCEI).The program will consist of invited and offered papers on thermal water distribution patterns, geothermal zones of the earth's crust, geochemistry of thermal waters in various regions, utilization of the heat components of thermal waters, and thermal pollution.

International Symposium on Hydrological Characteristics of River Basins

Papers are solicited for U.S. participation in an International Symposium on Hydrological Characteristics of River Basins. Sponsored by the International Association of Hydrological Sciences (IAHS) and organized by the Science Council of Japan, the symposium will be held December 1–8, 1975, at the Tokyo Prince Hotel, Tokyo, Japan.The symposium aims are to summarize research results on representative and experimental basins obtained during the International Hydrological Decade and will serve as a forum for exchange of ideas and information on better water management of river basins. In addition to new ideas, concepts, and methods related to research studies, the program will include discussions of changes in the hydrological cycle as influenced by man's activities on water catchments, agricultural land, and urban areas, and changes in hydrological conditions caused by civil engineering works. Two‐day and three‐day study tours are scheduled for immediately after the meeting.
