Eric launched
in 2020, in collaboration with Professors Michael Elliott at
the University of Hull (UK) and Ellen Wohl at the State
University of Colorado (USA), a new Elsevier book series
"Ecohydrology from catchment to coast" to provide an
analysis for key rivers worldwide of the next set of policy
and institutional reforms (environmental, social, cultural
and economic) needed to ensure that the river basin is
managed as an integrated system (including its land use,
water resources and estuary) capable to adapt to the human
impact and future changes including climate change. The
first book has just been published,it is about the
Murray-Darling Basin in Australia.

Being written now are books about the Mekong in SE Asia, the
Nile in Africa, and the Scheldt in Belgium/The Netherlands.
Eric is a member of the Scientific and Policy Committee of
Japan's EMECS (Environmental Management of Enclosed Seas,
focusing on the Seto Inland Sea) and of the European Union
DANUBIUS-PP Scientific and Technical Advisory Board (STAB;
see www.danubius-ri.eu; http://danubius-pp.eu), which will
be a pan-European distributed research infrastructure
dedicated to interdisciplinary studies of large river–sea
systems throughout Europe.
Eric is a Fellow of the Australian Academy of Technological
Sciences and Engineering, the Institution of Engineers
Australia (ret.), and l'Academie Royale des Sciences
d'Outre-Mer (Belgium). He was awarded an Australian
Centenary medal for services in estuarine and coastal
oceanography, a Doctorate Honoris Causa from the catholic
University of Louvain in Belgium, a 2nd Doctorate Honoris
Causa by the University of Hull in the UK, a Queensland
Information Technology and Telecommunication award for
excellence, and the first LifeTime Achievement Award of the
Estuarine & Coastal Science Association (ECSA).
Eric is Honourary Editor of Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf
Science, a Chief Editor of Wetlands Ecology and Management
and of the Elsevier book series Ecohydrology from catchment
to coast.
Since 1994 he has been running in Tanzania for Tanzania
National Parks Authority yearly ecohydrology field training
workshops with ecologists of the Serengeti, Katavi, Arusha,
Nkomazi, Ruaha, Tarangire and Saadani National Parks, which
are all either suffering or threatened by a water crisis.
This is summarised in the recent paper: Mnaya, B., Elisa,
M., Kihwele, E., Kiwango, H., Kiwango, Y., Ng’umbi, G.,
Wolanski, E. (2021). Are Tanzanian National Parks affected
by the water crisis? Findings and ecohydrology
solutions.Ecohydrology and Hydrobiology 21, 425-442.
Dr. James T. (Jim) Anderson is a professor of wildlife ecology and management and the Davis-Michael Professor of Forestry and Natural Resources at West Virginia University. He earned a B.S. in wildlife from the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point, an M.S. in range and wildlife management through the Caesar Kleberg Wildlife Research Institute at Texas A&M University-Kingsville, and a Ph.D. in wildlife science from Texas Tech University. Jim has published over 160 scientific research articles on wetland ecology and management, wildlife-habitat relationships, and restoration ecology. He has mentored more than 50 graduate students and has garnered more than $20 million in competitive external funding to support his research. He has been an invited keynote speaker at over 15 international conferences, serves on numerous committees, and has served on the editorial board of 6 international journals. He teaches over 1,000 students annually in a number of courses including Restoration Ecology, Applied Wetlands Ecology and Management, Introduction to Wildlife and Fisheries Resources, Big Game Ecology and Management, and Waterfowl Ecology.
