GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences, Potsdam, Germany
The EGU Topical Meeting is aimed at discussing (1) the current state of our understanding of the link between floods, meteorological processes and climate, and (2) novel research and management options for quantifying and exploiting the climate-flood link. We bring together scientists from different disciplines, e.g. hydrology, water resources management, meteorology, climatology, paleo-climatology, paleo-hydrology, to have a broader perspective on floods.
Session 1:
Flood hydroclimatology: The climate context of floods
Keynote speaker: Upmanu Lall, Columbia University, USA
Session 2:
Flood event generation: Interactions of hydrological and meteorological factors
Keynote speaker: Günter Blöschl, Technical University Vienna, Austria
Session 3:
Flood risk management: Exploiting the link between climate, meteorological processes and flood probabilities
Keynote speaker: Gero Michel, Willis Research Network, UK
