Interdisciplinary research within hydrology has become a major task for hydrologists. But what are the main advantages and challenges reflecting to break the academic silos? What is interdisciplinary water research? Interdisciplinary research activities within human-water research have increased in recent years, not only in terms of research proposals and requests from funding agencies (such as t ...[Read More]
Water justice has become a crucial discussion in the past decades. Some of the core aspects reflect the questions about who gets involved in the decision-making process, who has access to drinking water, or who gains from flood alleviation schemes. Many hydrologists are struggling to find an answer to these major challenges. The rise of water justice In recent decades, the question of justice in ...[Read More]
The EGU Programme Committee convened in late October to finalize the scientific program for the upcoming General Assembly, GA2024. Their task involved organizing the numerous session proposals, spanning 22 divisions, including Inter- and Transdisciplinary (ITS) sessions, discussing the format of scientific sessions (do expect news for virtual posters and PICOs at GA2024!), the mentoring programme, ...[Read More]
Inland surface water is a critical resource when scarce and a potential hazard when floods occur. Because the extent of surface water affects habitat condition, weather, and biogeochemical cycles, our ability to accurately track variations in surface water extent is important for resource management, science, commerce, hazard mitigation, and policy making. Openly distributed data derived from sat ...[Read More]
