Hydrological extremes: changing hazards as a result of climate change

Hydrological extremes have devastating consequences on society. Climate change impacts on these hazards mean we are likely to experience more frequent extreme events. With the backdrop of increasing urbanization across the globe society faces a significant challenge in adapting to these changing hazards. This webinar will explore some of the recent research at the University of Edinburgh which seeks to understand climate change attribution for river flows, future changes to hazard frequency and magnitude as predicted by climate models, and how we might include these changes in future adaptation plans.
