Program description

This Summer School is devoted to runoff prediction in ungauged basins (PUB), i.e., predicting water runoff at locations where no runoff data are available. This lack of data presents considerable challenges to catchment managers who require information on water flows for decision making. This course, based on the recently published book, "Runoff Prediction in Ungauged Basins: Synthesis across Processes, Places and Scales", will provide hydrologists with the theory and methods to address this critical challenge. The collection of speakers will bring together results from individual location-based studies and show how a comparative approach can be applied to learn from the differences and similarities between catchments around the world along gradients of climate and landscape features.
What to bring
The course includes a substantial hands on component. Participants can bring their own runoff data (from around 10 catchments, over 10 years) or alternatively, runoff data will be provided.
Who should attend
Masters and PhD students researching catchment hydrology and practising hydrologists who are challenged by making predictions in the absence of runoff data.
Venue
The course will be held at the Vienna University of Technology, Karlsplatz 13, in the heart of the Austrian capital.
Registration
The course fee is Euro 600-.
Included are all course material and lunch. Participants are responsible for their own transport, accommodation, health insurance, all other meals and personal expenses.
A small number of competitively selected, fee waiver places are available. To apply, send a CV and motivation letter to Borbála Széles (details below) by 1stMay, 2016.
