7th Conference Modelling Hydrology, Climate and Land Surface Processes
Modelling, forecasting, communicating, and handling weather-induced natural hazards
This conference aims to address topics related to natural hazards and disasters, which are growing at a rapid rate across the world for several reasons. Population growth, migration and urbanization make people occupy land that is more exposed to severe and frequent threats. In addition to being more exposed to hazards, these communities are often more vulnerable, lacking the ability and means to mitigate and adapt to natural hazards. Developing strategies to cope with natural hazards and their associated impacts, require us to pay attention to modelling, forecasting, and communication of weather-induced natural hazards. In this conference, the focus is on hydrometeorological hazards. Examples of such hazards are extreme precipitation, floods, droughts, landslides, and snow avalanches. The conference is organized in four sessions.
Sessions:
- Methods and models for natural hazard prediction, including machine learning.
- Forecasting of weather-induced natural hazards, including data assimilation
- Impact-based natural hazard warnings: User needs and risk communication.
- Dimensioning and planning for natural hazard risks, including climate change issues.
The deadline for abstract submission is March 27th 2023. For more information, see the conference webpage.
