NH21A:
Remote Sensing: Monitoring, Prediction, and Hazard Mitigation of Hydroclimatic Extreme Events


Submit an Abstract to this Session


Session ID#: 62853

Session Description:
Hydroclimatic extremes have significant socio-economic and ecological impacts. This session seeks studies of hydroclimatic extremes including:

(a) Prediction and monitoring of extreme events using satellite/radar-derived remote sensing data.

(b) Analysis and monitoring of infrastructure for risk mitigation, resilience, and reliability through the use of remotely sensed, field based, and in-situ observations.

(c) Analysis of hydroclimatic extremes and their precursors using in-situ and remotely sensed data as well as dynamic statistical, and learning-based models.

(d) Dynamics of hydroclimatic extremes;

1. Diagnosis, assessment and prediction of extremes and their severity, duration and spatiotemporal patterns;

2. Non-stationary analysis of extremes; and

3. Uncertainty analysis of data and models used for monitoring extreme events.

Case studies that focus on regional or continental aspects are encouraged.
