| Session Description | Global warming brings a huge challenge to society and human being. Understanding historical and future climate change and its impacts will be beneficial to global and regional crop, forest, and water management. In recent decades, a lot of work has been devoted to climate change impact analysis on hydrology and water resources. However, impact assessment of future climate change is subject to large uncertainties owing to the limited knowledge of the reality and an unpredictable future. These uncertainties may originate from climate change scenarios, global climate models, regional climate models, downscaling methods, measurement errors, hydrological model structure and parameters. This session covers a wide range of topics that may include but are not limited to: 1) climate change impact analysis on hydrology and extreme hydrological events; 2) new methodologies for climate change impact assessment on hydrology and extreme hydrological events; 3) uncertainty in climate change impacts on hydrology; 4) appropriate hydrological modeling under a changing environment. |
