Explore frontiers in hydroclimate change during this one-hour lecture from the 2020 Hydrology Early Career Award November Lecture Series. Delve into the impacts of historical and global droughts, the interplay between droughts and floods, and emerging phenomena like flash droughts. Examine the role of reservoirs, climate-induced and human-induced droughts, and cutting-edge model development including hyperresolution modeling and global hydrological models. Investigate the connections between hydrology, vegetation, and water temperature, and their far-reaching effects on ecosystems and human conflicts. Gain insights into the challenges of high heterogeneity, uncertainty in hydrological modeling, and the importance of multidisciplinary approaches in addressing complex water-related issues. Benefit from the expertise of Dr. Niko Wanders from Utrecht University as he shares his research and vision for the future of hydrology, followed by a Q&A session.
