What's New
2019
There had been good discussions on topics about the centre of valley
versus thalweg: revisitig the Isreal-Jordan Aravah Boundary, and about
river boundaries: the influence of changes in the Jordan and Yarmuk
Rivers on the International and Cadastral Boundaries at the FIG Working
Week 2019 in Hanoi. Haim Srebro and his Working Group members Don Grant
from RMIT University Melbourne, Bill Robertson and Vince Belgrave from
New Zealand and Andrea Cantile from Italy, have been preparing a
follow-up publication to FIG Publication 59 International Boundary
Making edited by Haim Srebro, which was produced through Commission 1 in
2013. This new volume is an addendum to # 59 regarding international
boundaries on unstable ground. It is expected to be published before the
end of 2020.
