Pictured left to right - Sara Rafferty (HSJ Editorial Assistant), Günter Blöschl (President IAHS), Christophe Cudennec (Secretary General IAHS), Attilio Castellarin (Editor-in-Chief HSJ), Frances Watkins (HSJ Editorial Manager), Helen Houghton-Carr (Company Secretary IAHS), Kate Heal (Treasurer IAHS), Claire Lupton (Executive Secretary IAHS) and Eilise Norris (Managing Editor Agriculture, Environment and Water for Taylor & Francis)

IAHS is delighted to be able to show our appreciation to Frances Watkins for her 25 years of devoted service to IAHS and HSJ.

Hydrological Sciences Journal (HSJ), the official journal of the International Association of Hydrological Sciences (IAHS), is over 60 years old and is celebrated worldwide as a truly international hydrological journal.

HSJ has seen many changes of Editor and Editorial Board over the decades but has relied on the constant,­ steadying hand of Frances since her first appointment as Assistant Editor in 1993 through to her taking up the position of Editorial Manager in 2003, a role which she continues to fulfil.

In 2022 IAHS will celebrate its 100 years anniversary, so it’s wonderful to think Frances has been a part of our family for over a quarter of that span. The IAHS office, Association and the journal have undergone many changes in that time, not least of which has been a technological revolution within the world of publishing over the last 25 years.

The MOXXI 2019 International Conference will be hosted at New York University from March 11th to 13th in collaboration with the Citizen AND Hydrology (CandHy) working group of IAHS, the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) HydroHub, and the Consortium of Universities for the Advancement of Hydrologic Science, Inc. (CUAHSI).

The conference aims to bring together different researchers, users, and instrumentation developers to discuss how to overcome the barriers to the advancement of hydrological observations and to the operationalization of innovative hydrometric technologies and monitoring approaches. The event will provide a forum for sharing the latest developments in fields such as sensor technology, information systems, participatory monitoring and consideration of the key challenges faced by those delivering operational hydrometric monitoring services in the public and private sector.

The deadline for abstract submission has been extended to January 17th, 2019. The abstracts should be sent to [email protected]. The participants should indicate the preferred format for their contribution (e.g. oral/poster presentation, demonstration) when submitting their abstract.

IAHS is establishing an Early Career Committee (ECC). The ECC is aimed at representing the Early Career membership of the IAHS at the highest level, and within each Commission. IAHS ECC consists of the Early Career Representative of each IAHS Commission plus a chair (Nilay Dogulu) and co-chair (Tim van Emmerik).  ECC members are dedicated to fostering dialogue between Early Career members, and between current and future generations of hydrologists.

The open call for applications attracted 60 early career scientists. There were many high-quality applications from around the world. A comprehensive and detailed review was carried out by the IAHS Commissions and IAHS Bureau, considering diverse composition in terms of gender and geography. Below are the selected members of the IAHS ECC, each representing one IAHS Commission.

 

Commission	ECC Member	Gender	Career Stage	Country
ICCE	Joris Eekhout	male	Post-doc	Spain
ICCLAS	Tirthankar Roy	male	Post-doc	USA
ICGW	Michelle Newcomer	female	Post-doc	USA
ICRS	Kartic Bera	male	Post-doc	India
ICSH	Svenja Fischer	female	Post-doc	Germany
ICSIH	Elzbieta Czyzowska-Wisniewski	female	Post-doc	USA
ICSW	Honeyeh Iravani	female	PhD	UK
ICT	Giovanny Mosquera	male	PhD	Ecuador
ICWQ	Jean Nepomuscene Namugize	male	PhD	Rwanda
ICWRS	Gokcen Uysal	male	Post-doc	Turkey

The ECC is a two-year mandate. The first mandate will officially come into force from July 2019 at the 27th IUGG General Assembly (in Montreal, Canada http://iugg2019montreal.com/) and run until July 2021, when the next ECC will take over at the IAHS Scientific Assembly in Montpellier, France.

For an efficient inception, the ECC will get to work immediately! Their first task will be to organize activities for the upcoming IAHS symposia to be held as part of the 27th IUGG GA in Montreal, Canada.

We wish the IAHS ECC great success and look forward to working together!
