The annual subscription is now due for Volume 62 (2017) of HSJ.  Volume 62 remains at 16 issues but we have managed to keep the subscription rate the same as in 2014. Volume 62 will contain a special series of invited opinion papers directly linked to the IAHS "Panta Rhei" initiative has also been launched in HSJ, coordinated by associate editor Heidi Kreibich.

The results from the first Panta Rhei Biennium are published in the HSJ in a free access paper entitled 'Panta Rhei 2013-2015: Global perspectives on hydrology, society and change'.

The Panta Rhei virtual series includes the following free access papers: 'Adaptation of water resources systems to changing society and environment: a statement by the International Association of Hydrological Sciences' and'Scientific debate of Panta Rhei research – how to advance our knowledge of changes in hydrology and society?’.
 
In July 2016 we announced the continued rise in Impact Factor for HSJ. The 2015 Impact Factor is 2.182 with a 5-Year Impact Factor of 2.156 (©2015 Thomson Reuters, 2014 Journal Citation Reports®).

The number of Co-editors of HSJ was increased to four at the IAHS Bureau meeting following the Kovacs Colloquium in June 2016. Ross Woods joins Demetris Koutsoyiannis, Mike Acreman and Attilio Castellarin.

Special journal subscription rates are available to IAHS Members: £27.00 for a personal online subscription, and £48.00 for a personal online + print subscription (£32.40 and £53.40, respectively for EU members, inclusive of VAT).

Dear IAHS members,   

The deadline for EGU 2017 abstract submissions is 11 Jan 2017, and many sessions are being organized through the Panta Rhei IAHS decade. We hope you will consider submitting your abstract to one of these sessions: we have an overarching Panta Rhei session “HS1.2 Hydrology, society and environmental change” and 6 sessions organized by our working groups. Brief introductions to all the sessions are given below.

We also provide an early announcement of the 2nd “Panta Rhei Day” workshop on 23 April at TU Vienna (the Sunday just prior to EGU). This workshop will contain a mix of invited talks and interactive activities, following the format of last year’s successful workshop. Please put it in your diaries, further information to follow.

See you at EGU!

The aims of the 2017 conference are:
·         To present new concepts and theory on interactions between hydrology and ecology
·         To discuss innovative experimental technologies and modelling approaches at the interface between hydrology and ecology
·         To stimulate interdisciplinary interactions between hydrologists, ecologists, environmental scientists and practitioners
·         To inform about emerging trends in ecohydrological practice, management and decision making


Confirmed keynote speakers include:
·         Keith Smetten, University of Western Australia
·         Nancy Grimm, Arizona State University
·         Hjalmar Laudon, Swedish University of Agricultural Science
·         Jeff McDonnell, University of Sasketchewan

At this international workshop in Shenzhen & Wuhan, China, IAHS was represented by Hubert Savenije (President of IAHS), Christophe Cudennec (Secretary General of IAHS) and Xia Jun (Honorary Vice President of IAHS). Shenzhen Declaration

The workshop aims to bring together scientists from worldwide (in particular from developing countries) and various disciplines that share a common interest in addressing the challenges of understanding and managing the hydrological systems knowledge. The four main objectives for this workshop:

• Understand major water challenges in coupled nature-human systems;
• Demonstrate current hydrological knowledge of models, tools and case studies to deal with water problems;
• Identify demand for hydrological innovation to meet the grand water challenges in different regions;
• Develop a multi-national and multi-disciplinary cooperation framework and statement  to provide capacity building, monitoring equipment, remote sensing techniques, and free software packages for developing countries, and to expand Panta Rhei as well as IAHS through establishing national committees and regional networks and increasing members in these counties.
