EGU24 session HS2.1.4 Mountain hydrology under global change

[Marit van Tiel]

Dear colleagues,

We would like to invite you to submit your abstracts to the following EGU General Assembly 2024 session: HS2.1.4 – Mountain hydrology under global change: monitoring, modelling and adaptation

https://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU24/session/48447

Despite only representing about 25% of continental land, mountains are an essential part of the global ecosystem and are recognised to be the source of much of the world’s fresh water supply. The large elevation ranges and the heterogeneity of elevation-dependent hydro-meteorological conditions make mountains particularly sensitive to climate variability and change, but therefore also unique areas for identifying and monitoring the effects of global change.

This session aims to bring together the scientific community doing hydrology research on mountain ranges across the globe. Example topics of interest for this session are:

• Sources of information for evaluating past and present hydrological conditions (in either mountain surface and/or ground water systems).
• Methods for differentiating climatic and anthropogenic drivers of mountain hydrological change.
• Modelling approaches to assess mountain hydrological change.
• Evolution, forecasting and impacts of extreme events.
• Case studies on adaptation to changing mountain water resources availability.

Invited speaker: Walter Immerzeel, Utrecht University

Deadline for abstract submissions: 10 January 2024 (13:00 CET)

We are looking forward to seeing you in Vienna!

Best regards,

Marit van Tiel, Andrea Momblanch, David Haro Monteagudo, Daniel Viviroli
