1. グローバルCOEプログラム 「極端気象と適応社会の生存科学」 Global COE Program “Sustainability/Survivability Science for a Resilient Society Adaptable to Extreme Weather Conditions (ARS)” 第41回GCOE-ARSセミナー 41st GCOE-ARS Seminar 下記の内容で第41回GCOE-ARSセミナーを開催いたします。関心のある教員ならびに院生 （特にARSコース受講生）の参加をお待ちしております。 We will hold the 41st GCOE-ARS Seminar with the following contents. We welcome all interested Staffs and Graduate school Students (especially those who have registered to GCOE-ARS course). 日時/Date :2013年8月23日（金） 10:00- August 23 (Fri), 2013 10:00- 場所/Place:　京都大学 宇治キャンパス　 　　　　　防災研究所セミナー室Ⅲ（E517D号室） Kyoto University, Uji Campus, DPRI Seminar Room III, Room No. E517D 講師/Lecturer: Dr. Shreedhar Maskey Senior Lecturer, UNESCO-IHE, Delft, The Netherlands 題目/Title: Drought modelling and forecasting in Africa – With a focus on hydrological drought Although drought is a major natural disaster globally, it is particularly frequent and devastating in Africa. Drought forecasting and warning is increasingly considered an integral part of drought risk management, which can reduce drought losses significantly. In this talk Dr. Maskey brings in experience and results of the European Union funded project DEWFORA (www.dewfora.net, 2011-2013) on drought early warning and forecasting in Africa. With particular expertise in process-based hydrological modelling, his talk will focus on how hydrological simulations can be used for drought assessments. 問い合わせ先/Contact：　GCOE-ARS事務局　secretariat@ars.gcoe.kyoto‐u.ac.jp
