USA - Establishing long-term research cooperation with Water Resources Research Group led by Prof VP Singh at Louisiana State University

Tildelt: kr 0,15 mill.

The main aim of this proposal is to establish a long-term concrete cooperative relation between the hydrology group at UiO and the world's most prominent research groups in the United States. The Louisiana State University (LSU), Baton Rouge, USA, is a fl agship university of Louisiana and has a leading program in Civil and Environmental Engineering in the country. The Water Resources Research Group, headed by Professor V.P. Singh, is one of the most active research groups on campus and in the country. Pr ofessor Vijay P. Singh is, no doubt, one of the world's leading scientists in the fields of hydrology and environmental and water sciences. He is the author, editor or co-editor of more than 55 books and 385 journal articles, 220 conference proceedings pa pers and 70 technical reports and bulletins in the area of water and environmental resources, hydraulics and irrigation. He is a member of 7 international science academies. The hydrology group at UiO, being the most prominent research group in the field in the country, consists of three professors (Per Aagaard, Lars Gottschalk, Chongyu Xu) and one associate professor (Lena Tallaksen) majoring in the fields of environmental geology, groundwater hydrology, surface water hydrology, stochastic hydrology, hyd rological modelling and hydrological extremes, floods and droughts. The personal contact and cooperation between Prof Vijay P. Singh and Professor Chongyu Xu dates back to the 1980's. Since then, they have cooperated in various fields, including hydrolog ical modelling, environment, climate change, and evaporation, to name but a few. The cooperation resulted in one book, 12 joint articles in the world's leading journals and a number of international conference talks and proceedings. After consulting the D epartment leader Nils Roar Sæthun, it was decided that to re-establish the existing contact and to further strengthen the cooperation between the two departments is a high priority strategy.
