Björn Klöve Bioforsk-Norway University of Oulu-Finland GENESIS Groundwater and Dependent Ecosystems: New Scientific and Technical Basis for Assessing Climate Change and Land-use Impacts on Groundwater Systems Björn Klöve Bioforsk-Norway University of Oulu-Finland
Content of presentation Short introduction Progress since the last WG C meeting Next steps Workshops in 2010/2011 of interest for WG C
Case Study Aquifers
GENESIS Work Packages
Overall progress Measurement set-up planned in more detail at case study sites for quality assurance and control we have prepared questionaires and analysed also the experimental set-up at different cases sites e.g. for conducting tracer expetriments Measurements started in case study sites Collaboration between partners started and this can be seen in common measurements, publications planned, and research visits Modelling and analysis of results also started The GW directive input clarified and the parters well aware of the input needed Several review papers in progress Several workshops will be held to promote groundwater research methodologies, research question and policy
Progress in different work tasks – an overview Some deliverable will be ready in 2010 as planned D1.1, D2.1, D3.1, D4.1, D6.1 The project is in an intensive phase The work is in progress as planed
