Global river modeling in the Anthropocene: Advancing model intercomparison and remote sensing data integration for societal benefits
Global river modeling in the Anthropocene: Advancing model intercomparison and remote sensing data integration for societal benefits
Session ID#: 249252
Session Description:
Earth's river systems represent critical interfaces of complex climate-human interactions. Increasing flood risks and water scarcity have driven extensive hydraulic infrastructure development (e.g., dams/reservoirs, levees, water transfer projects), fundamentally altering natural flow regimes and reshaping river equilibrium. While significant progress has been made in global river modeling during the past decades, key challenges persist: (1) evaluating model performance under combined climate and anthropogenic pressures, (2) reconciling inter-model discrepancies in streamflow simulations, and (3) effectively integrating multi-source satellite data (e.g., optical, altimetry) to enhance human impact quantification. This session seeks cutting-edge research addressing these modeling frontiers, with particular interest in studies that bridge scientific advances with practical applications for water resource management and climate adaptation. We welcome contributions from observational, modeling, and interdisciplinary perspectives to foster robust discussions on the future of river system science.
