We’ve now been pedalling (unaided by batteries, in case you were wondering) for six days along the Rhine. I’m writing this in the warmth of the evening sun, sparkling off the river, flowing gently past tonight’s campsite, which occupies the hundred metre wide floodplain between the left bank and a steeply-sloping vineyard. Today’s ride took us through Koblenz, where the Mos ...[Read More]
We’re back to the HydroData Chronicles, where we enter into the exceptionally wonderful world—as massive as it is—of datasets about water phenomena, such as rivers and weather. Today, we focus on ΕStreams, a comprehensive dataset and catalogue of streamflow, hydro-climatic, and landscape data for Europe. This pioneering initiative fills the hydrological data availability gap, offering an inv ...[Read More]
Welcome toHydroTalks, the new podcast series of the EGU HS division. Every month, we interview experts about the advancements, challenges, and opportunities in the field of hydrology. As our first guest, we were pleased to interview Dr. Stefan Krause, a Professor of Ecohydrology and Biogeochemistry at the University of Birmingham. His research explores the interconnectedness of groundwater and su ...[Read More]
The challenges in hydraulic engineering are increasing due to the growing threat of floods and heavy rainfall events caused by climate change (as experienced several times in Europe in recent years) on the one hand and the more frequent low water situations and the associated requirements for ecological enhancement of water bodies, on the other hand. In this context, reliable estimates of the hydr ...[Read More]
