Professor Igor Shiklomanov passed away

On 22 August 2010, Professor Igor Shiklomanov passed away at the age of 72. He was most recently the Director of the State Hydrological Institute in the St. Petersburg, Russian Federation.

Prof. Shiklomanov was most well known for his assessments of global water resources and its availability, needs, development, etc. His first article on this subject, "Exploitation of the Earth's water resources" was made in UNESCO-IHP's epoch-making publication World Water Balance and Water Resources of the Earth in 1974 where he and co-author G.P. Kallinin outlined an assessment of the world's water resources that is still used by many today.

With more than 250 publications to his name, his participation in many steering committees and working groups and his continual presence working with many international organizations over the course of his career, he was a highly respected member of the water community and his loss will be felt by not only UNESCO-IHP, but by many others around the world.
