Dialogue is essential for advancing hydrological science

Thorsten Wagener June 18, 2026

A little over a decade ago, a group of us argued that “it takes a village to raise a hydrologist”.

Duncan Faulkner April 22, 2025

After 15 days of cycling, I’m beginning to feel hopeful that we might even reach Vienna. The latest setback has been catching Covid (I think), which required 18 hours of sleep in our tent to recover. We’ve been on the Danube for the past few days, currently outside Regensburg Cathedral, where we’ve just joined the Easter Sunday mass. I must admit that we took a train to link betw ...[Read More]
