Autorenporträt
Clive Agnew is Professor Emeritus in Physical Geography, University of Manchester. Clive was appointed to a Chair in Physical Geography (1999-2022) at the University of Manchester. His research and teaching encompassed the fields of water resources development and applied hydrology. He has worked extensively in both the drylands and the wetlands of Africa, Europe and the Middle East, developing strategies for the management of water shortages at local and regional levels. In 2000 Clive was appointed Head of Geography at Manchester University and from 2004 to 2009 served as Head of the newly created School of Environment and Development. His book, Water Resources and Development, written with Philip Woodhouse, examines stewardship of the water environment to give a balanced treatment of the role of environmental, social and political priorities in the allocation of water. In subsequent years he has been engaged in research projects investigating the management of water and ecosystems in the UK uplands, Bangladesh and Tanzania. Emeritus Professor Ewan Anderson was Professor of Geopolitics at the University of Durham. His interests developed from geomorphology and hydrology to economic,social and political geography with an accent on the Middle East. His research ranged from the relationships between rainfall, wadi flow, qanat discharge and well levels and also the uptake of dew by the leaves of Prosopis ciineraria in Oman to the geopolitics of the Tigris-Euphrates region and international boundary settlements in Libya. Since retiring, to these has been added the interrelationship of science and theology and drawing tree portraits.
