GC31A:
Climate–Hydrology–Human Interactions and Their Implications on Hydroclimate Extremes in a Changing Environment I


Submit an Abstract to this Session


Session ID#: 58938

Session Description:
Hydroclimate extremes including but not limited to storms, floods, droughts, heat waves and cold waves, are changing significantly with the influence of climate change and human activities. These extremes are linked to multi-scale processes, e.g., global climate variability like ENSO, regional anomalies in atmospheric and land surface conditions. Increasing exposure due to the growth of population and economy raise the risk of extremes significantly, and a regional extreme may have a global impact. Moreover, human interventions bring a new dimension to the risk analysis, resulting in a grand challenge for the detection and attribution of the changing risk of hydroclimate extremes. Recent advances in remote sensing, earth system models, and multisource data assimilation, provide an unprecedented opportunity to tackle the grand challenge from a multidisciplinary perspective. This session welcomes contributions that address observations, mechanisms, modeling, prediction and projection of hydroclimate extremes and their risk, especially those linked to climate-hydrology-human interactions.
