Topic: Historical and future perspectives of surface hydrological change at the global scale

Speaker: Professor Simon Gosling, School of Geography, University of Nottingham, UK

Time: 10:00-11:30am November 15, 2024

Venue: Meeting Room A901, IGSNRR

Brief Introduction to the report:

Professor Gosling will discuss how global hydrological modelling has been used to improve our understanding of past and future changes in water scarcity, droughts and floods. The talk will explore the models used in this area of science and community efforts to compare the models.

He will also present evidence for the attribution of historical trends in extreme river flows to climate change, the evidence to show that recent changes in hydrology are beyond the planetary boundary for freshwater change, as well as projections of future water scarcity and drought across the globe.
