Earth & Environmental Sciences: Hydrological Extremes
Climate change is imposing additional stress on water resources. Water depletion and the frequency of hydrological extremes and natural hazards are becoming more intensified. Therefore, the management of extreme hydrological phenomena is a challenge for humanity. However, in order to ensure food and water security and to safeguard our hydro systems improved understanding of climate extremes and analysis of their hydrological impacts is very important. Alternative solutions and practices are required to prepare against disasters resulting from hydrological extremes.
This Topical Collection invites manuscripts highlighting ongoing research investigations and new methodologies in the field of hydrological extremes. We invite original research contributions from the following areas, but not limited to Hydrological extremes, Flood, Drought, Extreme climatic indices, Heat waves, Rainfall-induced landslides, Frequency analysis of hydrological extremes, Prediction of hydrological extremes, Spatio-temporal patterns and variability of extremes, Teleconnections of hydrological extremes, Non-stationarity and hydrological extremes, Hydrological design under non-stationarity, Attributing the reason behind extremes, Human interventions and climate change effects on hydrological extremes, Risk assessment under hydrological extremes, Decision making under hydrological extremes, Disaster preparedness and warning, Risk management including the prevention and mitigation of hydrological extremes, Adaptation strategies for future climate scenarios, Vulnerability of water resources systems to hydrological extremes. Submissions of general methodological contributions in the forms of original articles, short communications, case studies or reviews on hydrological extremes and their management over a wide range of spatial scales are strongly encouraged.
