  Man and Karst 2019

  Karst and Speleology. The international scientific meeting "Man and Karst" will be held in Sicily from 24th to 26th June 2019. The extreme south-eastern sector of Sicily, which geographically belongs to the Hyblean Mountains, but geologically to the African foreland, represents an outstanding example for the comprehensive understanding of karst. Here we will explore pure karst landscapes, deeply carved by spectacular and evocative canyons and their profound relationship with Man.
  
  In this karst stage, at the center of the Mediterranean, dominated by the fire of Etna volcano to the north, lapped by the arid landscapes of the Messinian evaporitic salts to the west, the millenary history of Siculi people unravels: ancient inhabitants of the summit of the limestone plateau, today from the heights of overhanging cliffs, silent guardians of the still luxuriant karst waters, emerging from numerous cave-springs, flowing along suggestive verdant valleys of fragrant Mediterranean scrub.
  
  In this context, the common relationship of Mediterranean peoples with its own peculiar karst environment has been represented for centuries, in the past with a wisely and naturally sustainable use of its resources, nowadays in an increasingly conflictual way, as dramatically devastating of its precious resources, first of all the karst waters threatened by heavy degradation for a senseless and inconsiderate use of the territory.
  
  For all this, Man and Karst 2019 in Sicily, in the same way as the previous past editions, wants to give a contribution to the knowledge, enhancement and safeguard of the karst landscape with its ecosystem and historical-anthropological resources as a whole, as an instrument and optimal function of scientific research, not as often for its own sake or for the sake of a few users, but rather, at the service and for the benefit of the whole community.

  Price: 120/140 €

  16th International Symposium on Water-Rock Interaction and 13th International Symposium on Applied Isotope Geochemistry

  Water-Rock Interaction is the International Symposium attracting many students and the leading scientists in the field of geochemistry, geology, hydrogeology, hydrogeochemistry, hydrology and other Earth and Environmental sciences from many developed and developing countries to exchange ideas and share an experience on a broad field of science. Every three years, the Water-Rock Interaction Working Group of the International Association of GeoChemistry meets for a week of science and collegiality in a different region of the world.
  
  All manuscripts should generally align with the following topics, but sessions may be added for groups of manuscripts which share a common theme.
  1. Geological evolution of water-rock system: mechanisms, processes, factors, stages.
  2. Organic geochemistry, biogeochemistry, formation of oil and gas deposits.
  3. Water-Rock Interaction during oil and gas field development and operation.
  4. Thermodynamics and kinetics of water-rock interaction, experimental geochemistry.
  5. Modeling of hydrogeochemical and ore formation processes.
  6. Geochemical cycles of elements and global environmental changes.

  3rd World Irrigation Forum & 70th International Executive Council (IEC), ICID

  Development for water, food and nutrition security in a competitive environment. ICID's triennial World Irrigation Forum (WIF) aims to bring together all the stakeholders involved in irrigation of multi-disciplines and all scales, including the policy makers, experts, research institutions, non-governmental organizations and farmers. It provide a platform for the world irrigation community and interested development professionals to find solutions to problems plaguing the irrigated agriculture, in time of depleting freshwater resources as a result of global warming and climate change.
  
  The Second World Irrigation Forum (WIF2) was held at Chiang Mai, Thailand, November 2016 on the theme “Water management in a changing World: Role of Irrigation for Sustainable Food Production”. The mega event was attended by over 1200 participants from 56 countries drawn from different disciplines including Ministers, farmers, academicians, researchers, international scientific community, engineers, policy makers, industry and the irrigation managers.
  
  The Third World Irrigation Forum (WIF3) is on topic “Development for water, food and nutrition security in a competitive environment” with three sub-themes:
  SUB THEME 1: Enabling policy environment for water, food and energy
  SUB THEME 2: Role of Civil Society and NGOs with focus on farmersRole of Civil Society and NGOs with focus on farmers and extention facilities
  SUB THEME 3: Improving agricultural water productivity Improving agricultural water productivity with focus on rural transformation
  
  This mega event also include Side Events of partner organizations, Ministerial meetings, International Exhibition, Training programs, Workshops, and many more.
