Abstract

Professor Gosling will discuss how global hydrological modelling has been used to improve our understanding of past and future changes in water scarcity, droughts and floods. The talk will explore the models used in this area of science and community efforts to compare the models. Professor Gosling will also present evidence for the attribution of historical trends in extreme river flows to climate change, the evidence to show that recent changes in hydrology are beyond the planetary boundary for freshwater change, as well as projections of future water scarcity and drought across the globe.
