Zusammenfassung |
Protection from hydrological extremes and the sustainable supply of
hydrological services in the presence of changing climate and lifestyles as
well as rocketing population pressure in many parts of the world are the
defining societal challenges for hydrology in the 21st century. A
review of the existing literature shows that these challenges and their
educational consequences for hydrology were foreseeable and were even
predicted by some. However, surveys of the current educational basis for
hydrology also clearly demonstrate that hydrology education is not yet ready
to prepare students to deal with these challenges. We present our own vision
of the necessary evolution of hydrology education, which we implemented in
the Modular Curriculum for Hydrologic Advancement (MOCHA). The MOCHA project
is directly aimed at developing a community-driven basis for hydrology
education. In this paper we combine literature review, community survey,
discussion and assessment to provide a holistic baseline for the future of
hydrology education. The ultimate objective of our educational initiative is
to enable educators to train a new generation of "renaissance hydrologists,"
who can master the holistic nature of our field and of the problems we
encounter. |
