Results of several ongoing projects of FutureWater were being disseminated among a large group of scientists last week during the General Assembly 2016 of the European Geosciences Union (EGU). The EGU General Assembly was held at the Austria Center Vienna (ACV) in Vienna, Austria, from 17 to 22 April 2016. It is the largest conference on the European continent gathering around 14,000 people from more than 100 countries working in geosciences. Overall the event is a great forum for FutureWater to share some of its work with other experts in the field and come up with ideas to go beyond the current state-of-the-art. Principal thematic areas where FutureWater contributes are: High-mountain hydrology, Climate services, Sustainable Land Management and Drought hazards and impacts. The following list shows a link to the different contributions in which FutureWater contributed:

  • EGU2016-13632 The impact of climate change and sustainable land management based adaptation on hydrology and soil erosion of a large semiarid catchment
  • EGU2016-1186 Reconciling high-altitude precipitation in the upper Indus basin with glacier mass balances and runoff
  • EGU2016-10428 InfoSequia: the first operational remote sensing-based Drought Monitoring System of Spain
  • EGU2016-1340 Improving Predictions and Management of Hydrological Extremes through Climate Services
  • EGU2016-10358 Crop coefficients parametrization using remote sensing in basin-scale hydrological modelling
