Writing the e-textbook

Mikael PihlströmWarsaw, 30-31 October 2006

e-LUP Workshop (1)

case studies on ecosystem biogeochemistry, landscape biodiversity, ecotechnosystems, pollution, multifunctional agriculture, sustainable building, months 5 to 20.

dynamic models and their incorporation into an interactive visualization software, 1st batch ready month 18, 2nd batch ready month 26.

combining simulations, text, videos and graphics into a e-textbook/tool, months (6) 11-40.

testing of the e-tool/e-textbook by policy makers (including EC staff) and stakeholders, months (24) 28-39.

The project has four distinct phases

e-tool

e-textbook

WP5

Dual structure: the main pages for the focused policy maker are more interactive, user-defined and tool-like.

The e-textbook levels offer background, explanatory texts and references for general users, incl. students

Writing a chapter

The designation “writer” must be properly understood; for any “writer” the task is much broader than putting together a traditional text, which some partners might have as a blueprint from before. The framework of SIA necessitates a lot of reading and conceptualisation to succeed in structuring a text which: integrates environmental, economic and social aspects reflects knowledge on state-of-art modeling within the field complies with issue definition tree in chapter two (previous slide) reflects knowledge of relevant EU policies

The working methods within a specific chapter are to be agreed between the writers in question under the leadership of the chapter editor. Typically there will be interaction between EU specialists on environmental impacts, on socioeconomic tools, case studies responsibles,Russian specialists, the general editor, WP4 = visualization and Petteri Vanninen, as well as commissioned texts from outside

There might be a need for effective personal contacts between chapter writers in the latter half of the project; for this travel funds have to be reserved in the partner budgets.

the e-tool

MAIN PAGES = e-tool (5-10 pages) Issue – concise formulation EU-policies - UN/ECE protocols on long-range transport air pollution - Clean air directives – National emission ceilings – CAFE - Directives on hazardous substances, on heavy metals etc Russian policies - very short list Impacts and SIA assessment tools (recommended ones) - primary: acidification of environment - secondary: economical (losses, abatement costs) and social (life quality) Case study - MeHg cycles, POP contamination, deposition models Visualization (if any) - acidification model SAFE/MAGIC, run with Southern Sweden values - or ECOSENSE from EXTERNE: also health effects

the e-textbook

IN-DEPTH = e-textbook (20-30 pages)Issue – full story , put in context of Sustainable DevelopmentEU-policies, in detail- UN/ECE protocols on long-range transport air pollution- Clean air directives – National emission ceilings – CAFE- Directives on hazardous substances, on heavy metals etcRussian policies Impacts and SIA assessment tools (recommended ones) - primary: acidification of environment - secondary economical (losses, abatement costs) and social (life quality, health effects)Case study - MeHg cycles, POP contamination, deposition modelsVisualization (if any) - illustration: acidification model SAFE/MAGIC ?, run with Southern Sweden values - or ECOSENSE from EXTERNE: also health effects

Writing a chapter (2)

1. Chapter editor,design and deposithere: max. version
