Journal Article
Wartenburger, R., Seneviratne, S. I., Hirschi, M., Chang, J., Ciais, P., Deryng, D., …Zhou, T. (2018). Evapotranspiration simulations in ISIMIP2a—Evaluation of spatio-temporal characteristics with a comprehensive ensemble of independent datasets. Environmental Research Letters, 13(7), Article 075001. https://doi.org/10.1088/1748-9326/aac4bb

© 2018 The Author(s). Actual land evapotranspiration (ET) is a key component of the global hydrological cycle and an essential variable determining the evolution of hydrological extreme events under different climate change scenarios. However, recent... Read More about Evapotranspiration simulations in ISIMIP2a—Evaluation of spatio-temporal characteristics with a comprehensive ensemble of independent datasets.

Worldwide evaluation of mean and extreme runoff from six global-scale hydrological models that account for human impacts (2018)
Journal Article
Zaherpour, J., Gosling, S. N., Mount, N. J., Müller Schmied, H., Veldkamp, T., Dankers, R., …Wada, Y. (2018). Worldwide evaluation of mean and extreme runoff from six global-scale hydrological models that account for human impacts. Environmental Research Letters, 13(6), https://doi.org/10.1088/1748-9326/aac547

Global-scale hydrological models are routinely used to assess water scarcity, flood hazards and droughts worldwide. Recent efforts to incorporate anthropogenic activities in these models have enabled more realistic comparisons with observations. Here...

A systems framework for national assessment of climate risks to infrastructure (2018)
Journal Article
Thompson, D., Johnson, D., Wood, R., Darch, G., Chapman, L., Hughes, P., …Hall, J. (2018). A systems framework for national assessment of climate risks to infrastructure. Philosophical Transactions A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 376(2121), https://doi.org/10.1098/rsta.2017.0298

Extreme weather causes substantial adverse socio-economic impacts by damaging and disrupting the infrastructure services that underpin modern society. Globally, $2.5tn a year is spent on infrastructure which is typically designed to last decades, ove... Read More about A systems framework for national assessment of climate risks to infrastructure.

Human impact parameterizations in global hydrological models improves estimates of monthly discharges and hydrological extremes: a multi-model validation study (2018)
Journal Article
Veldkamp, T. I. E., Zhao, F., Ward, P. J., Moel, H. D., Aerts, J. C., Müller Schmied, H., …Wada, Y. (in press). Human impact parameterizations in global hydrological models improves estimates of monthly discharges and hydrological extremes: a multi-model validation study. Environmental Research Letters, 13(5), Article 055008. https://doi.org/10.1088/1748-9326/aab96f

Human activities have a profound influence on river discharge, hydrological extremes, and water-related hazards. In this study, we compare the results of five state-of-the-art global hydrological models (GHMs) with observations to examine the role of...

Sources of uncertainty in hydrological climate impact assessment: a cross-scale study (2018)
Journal Article
Hattermann, F., Vetter, T., Breuer, L., Su, B., Daggupati, P., Donnelly, C., …Krysanova, V. (2018). Sources of uncertainty in hydrological climate impact assessment: a cross-scale study. Environmental Research Letters, 13(1), Article 5006. https://doi.org/10.1088/1748-9326/aa9938

Climate change impacts on water availability and hydrological extremes are major concerns as regards the Sustainable Development Goals. Impacts on hydrology are normally investigated as part of a modelling chain, in which climate projections from mul...
