We are excited to announce a one-day event at The Royal Society in London. This gathering will bring together the hydrological and land-surface modelling community, industry and practitioners across the UK to share insights on how this area of research can address critical hydrological challenges.
This event will take place on the 24th September 2025 at the Royal Society, 6-9 Carlton House Terrace, London, SW1Y 5AG. Tickets are available now, and can be booked here!
Key note speakers
- Professor Martyn Clark, the University of Calgary
- Dr Ségolène Berthou, Met Office
- Professor Glenn Watts, UK Centre for Ecology and Hydrology, "Climate change and water resources: seeking certainty in an uncertain world"
- With further speakers to be announced
Agenda
Water resources and sustainable groundwater in a changing climateGlenn Watts: Climate change and water resources: seeking certainty in an uncertain world Setareh Nagheli: BGWM 2.0: a hyper-parameterised model of groundwater flow in Great Britain Amulya Chevuturi: Advancing the UK Hydrological Outlook with skill-based forecast blending |
Early warning for future flood and drought hazardSegolene Berthou: Integrating hydrology in regional earth systems for multi-hazard prediction and improved ocean forcing Dai Yamazaki: Recent development of the global river model CaMa-Flood and its integration with Earth System Models Yinxue Liu: New insights on river floods frequencies – a global perspective |
Interactive sessionFrontiers in UK Hydrology and Land-system Science: the next decade This session will provide attendees the chance to discuss and share their vision of research priorities in UK hydrology over the next decade. This is designed to elicit a range of perspectives, enabling participants to identify emerging themes, knowledge gaps and opportunities for near-term action. Participants may wish to consider what can be learned from international experience (e.g., Samadi et al, 2025), but the aim will be to focus on pressing UK challenges. |
Community modelling for coupled environmental science, and digital infrastructure for data-rich environmental modellingMartyn Clark: Developing actionable hydrological predictions across large geographical domains Elizabeth Lewis: Towards a digital twin for Integrated Water Management in Greater Manchester Visweshwaran R: Optimizing Soil Moisture Assimilation Strategies for Improved Predictions in JULES Land-Surface Model |
