Hydro-meteorologic extremes: prediction, simulation and change' at this year's AGU.

 Dear all,

We would like to invite abstract submissions for our session on 'Hydro-meteorologic extremes: prediction, simulation and change' at this year's AGU. Would be great to welcome you in our session!

Best,

Description:

Hydrometeorologic extremes (e.g., droughts, floods, extreme precipitation and temperature) can have negative ecologic, economic, and societal impacts, especially if they affect large areas. The development of suitable preparation and mitigation strategies to counteract these consequences requires local and spatial estimates of the frequency, magnitude, and potential impact of such extremes under current and future conditions. However, hazard and risk assessment through statistical, hydrological, and impact modeling is challenging for several reasons, including inadequate data, the multivariate and compounding nature of these extremes, and non-stationarities introduced by changes in climate, land use, or regulations.
We invite contributions tackling these and other challenges related to local and regional hydrometeorological hazard and risk assessments. Potential submissions include but are not limited to: stochastic simulations; novel datasets for different components of risk; predictions in ungauged basins; multivariate frequency analyses; assessment of regional and spatial dependencies; and approaches to quantify the future changes in these extremes.
