Call for Abstracts | JpGU-AGU 2026 Session A-HW38 – Global Flooding
Myriam Benkirane
Dear colleagues,
We invite you to submit an abstract to the JpGU-AGU Joint Meeting 2026 session A-HW38:
Global Flooding in a Changing World: Trends, Drivers, and Major Open Questions, to be held 24–29 May 2026 in Chiba, Japan.
This session aims to advance understanding of global flood risk and resilience by addressing key scientific challenges related to:
Attribution of flood trends to climate, land-use, and socio-economic drivers,
Compound flooding processes (riverine, coastal, and pluvial interactions),
Vulnerability, risk, and adaptation strategies, and
Persistent data gaps, particularly in data-scarce and developing regions, leveraging satellite observations, AI-supported flood mapping, and open-data approaches.
We welcome contributions from all relevant disciplines and encourage submissions that link regional-scale processes to global flood dynamics, benchmark hydrologic and hydrodynamic models, and foster international collaboration.
