Identification of a safe and sustainable source of drinking water is still a global challenge, forcing a large population to continue depending on unsafe sources. The causes of such challenges include the spatial uncertainty in the occurrence of the possible contaminants and the tools used to characterize them during the data collection and analysis stage. The spatial uncertainty is a result of the variability of such contaminants which affects decision-making at various scales. In this webinar, Drs Julian Ijumulana (Tanzania) and Prosun Bhattacharya (Sweden) will present the holistic approach that integrates Quantum Geographic Information Systems (QGIS) and other GIS software and tools to handle the spatial uncertainty in the measured fluoride concentrations in drinking water. The case study considered in this webinar includes the three administrative regions in northern Tanzania within the East African Rift Valley (EARV).  You are all invited to listen to this webinar using the links provided.  The webinar is free of costs.

Dear IMGA Family:

 

Our IMGA worldwide community is deeply saddened by the unexpected and recent passing of one of our dearest members, Mrs. Carmen Isela Terrazas Salcido, known to many of us as “Carmelita Rubio”, wife of our dear friend and colleague, Dr. Hector Rubio Arias from our Medical Geology Chapter in Chihuahua, Mexico.  Carmelita was a great supporter of IMGA’s mission in Mexico and strong contributor of the development of the Mexico Chapter on Medical Geology.  She was a loving and dedicated mother of a daughter and a son, a kind and caring friend, and a remarkable human being.  We will all miss her deeply.

 

Our IMGA community from all over the world is with Hector and his family during this difficult time. Hector, know that our community is here to support you and your family during this time of mourning and sadness.
