Explore the impacts of climate change on extreme event hydrology in this informative webinar featuring international and Australian experts. Delve into the challenges of developing design hydrographs for drainage infrastructure in light of increasing extreme precipitation intensity. Learn about the latest research and data sources from Bureau of Meteorology and CSIRO presenters, covering topics such as changes in sub-daily rainfall event intensity, the relationship between flood and extreme event precipitation, and Australian standards for selecting design events under climate change scenarios. Gain valuable insights through presentations on global focus, atmospheric effects, and design event selection, followed by an engaging Q&A session.

MUHAMMAD IDREESIt was a really helpful course. I am a Civil Engineering graduate, and I studied Climate change and hydrology in my Undergraduate studies, this course enhanced my knowledge about these topics. I would love to study more such courses. -
This is quite a relevance course given today's weather patterns. We see how climate change affects the availability of fresh water to harness into potable water for the domestic supply. Great course.

This experience was very effective for me because I am now working on climate change and its impact on water quality and human health.

Climate change is causing rapid changes on hydrological events. Many authors have recently utilized the results of the Global Climate Models (GCMs), which are the most complex coupled numerical models for forecasting the general circulation of the earth's atmosphere. There is a plethora of research on the CMIP6-based GCMs' capacity to represent the physical processes of the terrestrial atmosphere. Simulations from many GCMs have already been utilized as data input for hydrological projections in order to assess how climate change may affect the hydrological responses in different river basins throughout the world. However, the GCM simulated climate data are less accurate at the basin scale due to their coarse spatial resolutions
