have begun to fill this gap by introducing and outlining the concept
of a co-engineering process and examining how it impacts the processes and outcomes of participatory
water management. We used a hybrid form of intervention research in two broad-scale, multi-governance
level, participatory water management processes in Australia and Bulgaria to build insights into these co-
engineering processes

The group should imagine itself as a policy agency responsible for designing a long term (20 years) planning
process that should enable the society to cope with the climate change effects and its uncertainties and
develop a climate change adaptation strategy.
We will form two groups with slightly different topics as described in the terms of references below. Each
group should have 3-4

The NOMEK Memorandum of Understanding has been followed for the past
three years and formalises the principles which are used arranging the
course. The courses have now run over more than 10 years and over the
years small changes to the principles of how the course is run and funded
have been introduced by the changing host. This formal description of the
principles for the NOMEK has been

How are ratings determined?
• UK network standards assume seasonal
average temperatures and worst-case
wind conditions, i.e. low wind speeds
Summer → 20˚C; Spring/Autumn → 9˚C;
Winter → 2˚C
• Real-time monitoring (‘dynamic rating’) is

Since the afternoon of 23 October, a new cluster of earthquakes has occurred about 5 km north-northwest of Gjögurtá on the intersection of the eastern end of Eyjafjarðaráll and the Húsavík-Flatey Fault (HFF). The largest events in this region were M 3.1 at 23:38 on 23 October and 3.2 at 22:20 on 24 October (see the map).

of governance. Pierre (2000) speaks of a

Evaluate the plausibility of the storylines that have been used
