CALL FOR PAPERS
WATER and SPACE: Societal, Educational and Cultural aspects
International Astronautical Congress 27th September – 1st October 2010, Prague
5 March 2010 Deadline for submitting abstracts
A joint session (E1.6.-E5.4) between the IAF Space Education and Outreach Committee and the IAA Commission VI and co-sponsored by ITACCUS on the topic "Water and Space: Societal, Educational and Cultural aspects" will be hold during theInternational Astronautical Congress that will take place in Prague in 2010 Inter-disciplinary in nature, it will explore the societal and cultural contexts of water as they are related to space.
Nearly 71% of the Earth constitutes water. Recently water has been found on other celestial bodies (Moon, Mars). Yet, the worldfaces serious issues related to water: not only its general availability and management, but also in the context of global warmingas well as in the pollution of rivers, lakes and oceans.
Space systems are employed in monitoring such aspects as ocean currents and salinity, the decline of the Arctic ice coverage, andthe location and size of shoals of fish. Water management often relies on the use of space systems for scientific study as well as forremote operation of pump stations.
Water and its resources management affects societies that depend on it for a living as well as for survival, not to mention thedestruction of other life forms. Access to water is often a matter of serious political and economic implications. Water associated disasters such as floods and tsunamis are coming to rely heavily on space systems for time critical response andmanagement. Climate change modelling requires a good understanding of hydrological science and this too is helped by the dataprovided by space systems.
In this inter-disciplinary session we wish to explore the societal and cultural contexts of water as they are tied to space. Possibletopics include: political and economic issues; how the crises affecting our oceans impact on society; how the discoveries of water onthe Moon and Mars is opening up not only new knowledge but also may impact both the human condition on earth and humanspace exploration; the way the arts, popular culture and entertainment engage with cultural issues around water, remote sensingcoordination and public access; water management; educational programmes relating to water from space and water in space.
