Newsletter no. 2, June 2009HYACINTS has entered its second project year. Three PhD students (phd-profiles
)have been recruited to the following projects:
- Coupling of meteorological and hydrological models for climate modelling (Søren Højmark Rasmussen, Danish Meteorological Institute)
- Modelling geology and groundwater flow in complex geological settings – from local to regional scale (Troels Norvin Vilhelmsen, Department of Earth Sciences, Aarhus University)
- Remote sensing of precipitation in mountainous areas (Lars Boye Hansen, GRAS A/S)
The work on coupling of the regional climate model code HIRHAM and the hydrological model code MIKE SHE is progressing well by use of the OpenMI technology (http://www.dhigroup.com/News/RecentNews/OpenMIForClimateModelling.aspx
). Preliminary sensitivity experiments have been performed with HIRHAM and MIKE SHE in uncoupled mode using test data from the FIFE site http://hyacints.dk/xpdf/poster_dec2008_soeren-hoejmark-rasmussen.pdf
Plans for using local grid refinements for coupling of a regional hydrological model with a local scale model for the Ristrup well field located in a buried valley have been elaborated. Refinement will be made using both a Finite Difference technique (MODFLOW) and a Finite Element technique (FEFLOW).
The HYACINTS project has affiliated yet another partner for a period of 1½ years. Last fall, the Danish Research Council announced a call for proposals to enable small and medium sized enterprises, so-called SMEs, to become involved in existing research projects. HYACINTS applied with two proposed topics, of which one was granted. This spring, HYACINTS announced for SMEs to co-operate on “Development of concepts for digital geological modelling”. I-GIS (www.i-gis.dk
) an IT/GIS Company located in Århus, has just been selected for the co-operation. The activities will start later this year.
At 10 September 2009 a seminar on Uncertainty in Climate Change Impact on Water Resources will be held in co-operation with the International Research School of Water Resources, FIVA: http://www.fiva.dk/
See the programme and invitation: http://hyacints.dk/xpdf/seminar_prog_2009_v2.pdf.
A similar HYACINTS seminar in September 2008 was very successful and had more than 70 participants from research institutions, private companies, water management organisations and NGO´s.

Newsletter no. 1, May 2008The HYACINTS projects started January 2008 and is now running with a number of tasks. Two PhD positions have been announce; for the first an applicant is under appointment and for the second, the deadline is 15 May.
