Open WL Archief (OWA)

Over het archief

Het OWA, het open archief van het Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium heeft tot doel alle vrij toegankelijke onderzoeksresultaten van dit instituut in digitale vorm aan te bieden. Op die manier wil het de zichtbaarheid, verspreiding en gebruik van deze onderzoeksresultaten, alsook de wetenschappelijke communicatie maximaal bevorderen.

Dit archief wordt uitgebouwd en beheerd volgens de principes van de Open Access Movement, en het daaruit ontstane Open Archives Initiative.

Abstract:

Our mission The International Polar Foundation communicates and educates on Polar research as a way to understand key environmental and climate mechanisms. The IPF also promotes innovative and multifaceted responses to the complex challenges raised by the need for action on sustainable development. Polar Regions & Climate Change The International Polar Foundation believes that the polar regions and polar sciences are the best tools to convince our society to act now in order to mitigate the effects of climate change for future generations: The polar regions play a key role in the global climate system of our planet; The polar regions are our early warning systems in showing the pace and magnitude of climate change; The polar regions are our archives. Earth's climate memory is recorded in their ice. Activities The IPF communicates with the general public on research in the polar regions through: Information: developing, supporting and encouraging projects that inform the public about polar science and how it improves understanding of the causes and consequences of climate change. Education: developing, supporting and encouraging innovative educational projects and materials to stimulate a positive public attitude towards polar science and action on climate change. This recognises the particular importance of outreach to the next generation which will experience the impacts of climate change on a great scale. Demonstration: developing, supporting and encouraging projects offering constructive responses to sustainable development issues. The IPF also seeks to lead by example - in the IPF's own activities the best available methods and techniques for clean development are used wherever possible. The wider objectives are: To stimulate and lend support to the preoccupations and concerns of individuals and society, in seeking credible and ethical avenues of progress towards the future; To rehabilitate the place of science in society, as a positive force for human and technological progress necessary for addressing the challenges of the twenty first century; To raise public awareness of the reality of a changing World, and the role of scientific research, in understanding the processes causing the changes; To demonstrate, by tangible examples, how human behaviour might be modified in order to mitigate the effects of coming changes; To address the issues raised with regard to the consequences of a changing planet and adaptation to the effects of climate change, underlining the role that science and technology will play in helping to find solutions; To stress the importance of scientific education for all to allow elementary but vital concepts, affecting the role of every individual in society, to be assimilated so that there is universal agreement and cooperation on the future direction of society; To stress the importance of reviewing educational priorities and strategies so that the workforce has the skills necessary for the evolving economy; To aim for a greater emphasis on investment in research so that the evolving needs of society with regard to cleaner and more efficient technologies can be met, generating a powerful new wave of innovation in industrial products and processes.
