El Instituto de Mecánica de los Fluidos e Ingeniería Ambiental (IMFIA) de la Facultad de Ingeniería cuenta con un ciclo de seminarios abiertos al público. Este viernes 26 de junio a las 11 horas, tendrá lugar el seminario “Water Challenges Across Scales”, dictado por el Prof. Aristeidis Koutroulis, de la Technical University of Crete (Grecia).
Resumen
Human-driven climate change is detectable in river flow regimes and in the speed and intensity of soil-moisture droughts. We synthesize this global evidence and its policy relevance before resolving to the Mediterranean, a hotspot where high variability often masks or amplifies trends. We discuss what is stationary versus shifting in Med precipitation and drought, the cross-sector implications for water availability, and how extreme hydrologic events trigger impacts offering the cautionary parallel that monitoring matters for management. We then ground the science in local case studies of dendro-based flash-flood chronologies, flood predictability of extraordinary events, and a case study where seasonal forecasts inform operating rules in which we quantify when forecast skill turns into value. We conclude with current projects and a pathway to impact-based hydrological outlooks tailored to Mediterranean stakeholders.
