４７２：CSU動向

今日は新情報が舞い込み忙しい。

CSU、即ちコロラド州立大学からだ。水資源や水文学で昔から有名で、以前書いたが小生の恩師クレメシュ博士が主任教授を断った大学でもある。ユーゴからのイェブベビッチ（水文学）やグリッグ教授（水資源開発管理）が有名だ。新情報ではSOGESという学部ができたようだ。School of Grobal Environmental Sustainabilityという面白い学部ができた。要注意である。SOGESのCOP会議への参加表明があった。

後輩のK君はグリッグのもとで博士号を目指しているが元気だろうか？これを読んでいたら近況でも教えてね。そのうちカナダアメリカ縦横断旅行しますね。
