GEOframe Winter School 2022

Posted on December 1, 2021 by Young Hydrologic Society

The fourth edition of the Winter School on GEOframe-NewAge GWS2022, organised by the University of Trento, will be held online and onsite on 20 – 22 December 2021 and 10 – 14 January 2022.

GEOframe is a system for doing hydrology by computer. By saying that it is a system, we emphasize that it is not a model but an infrastructure that can contain many differentiated modelling solutions (some tens of that) that are built upon models components. This is because GEOframe leverage on the Object Modelling system-framework (v3) that allows to connect modelling components to solve a specific hydrological issue together and having many alternative for its mathematical/numerical description. This infrastructure allows adapting the tools to the problems and not viceversa. GEOframe has been applied to hydrological simulations from the point scale to large catchments as the Blue Nile, and among those is being deployed to the Po river (the largest in Italy) with great detail. GEOframe is open source and built with open source tools.

IAHS-YHS Workshops at the Great Rivers of Africa Conference in Cotonou, Benin

Posted on November 10, 2021 by Young Hydrologic Society

English version. Scroll down for the French version.

Each year the International Association of Hydrological Sciences (IASH) which is an association to promote hydrological sciences in the world organizes an event (Assembly, conference, etc.). Thus, during the 4th edition of the international conference on the hydrology of large African rivers in Cotonou, Benin from November 13 to 20, 2021, the IAHS SYSTA awardees, in collaboration with the Young Hydrologic Society (YHS), will organize two workshops for early career scientists (ECS). The aim is to connect ECS attending the conference and stimulate their active participation in the more established hydrological sciences community through workshops on one or more scientific themes in hydrology. In the upcoming Cotonou conference, there will be two workshops on the following themes:

  • The use of open-source data and tools in hydrology (Main organizer Dr. Djan’na Koubodana, African Institute for Mathematical Sciences, Kigali, Rwanda), and
  • How to write a scientific paper in hydrology (Main organizer, Dr. Kossitse Venyo Akpataku, Université de Kara, Togo).

Profile Series: Josefin Thorslund

Posted on September 3, 2021 by Young Hydrologic Society

Department of Physical Geography, Stockholm University (Sweden) and Utrecht University (Netherlands)

My name is Josefin Thorslund, I am from Sweden and I’m currently working at the Department of Physical Geography, both at Stockholm University and at Utrecht University, through a mobility grant funded by the Swedish Research Council for Sustainable Development; FORMAS.

I’m a hydrologist with a background in water quality assessment. My current research project is about freshwater salinisation, both assessing its large-scale drivers and quantifying its impact on quality-driven water scarcity, particularly for the irrigation sector around the world. This is needed because elevated salinity of freshwater resources is a common water quality issue, which could strongly affect water availability.

Profile series: Danlu Guo

Posted on July 30, 2021 by Young Hydrologic Society

Let’s get the basics. Name, where you are from, and your current affiliation and advisor?

My name is Danlu Guo, currently working as a postdoc research fellow in the Department of Infrastructure Engineering, University of Melbourne. My supervisor is Prof Andrew Western.

What is the research you are currently working on?

I’m currently working on an ARC Linkage Project (LP170100710) – a collaboration between Melbourne University and Rubicon Water. My recent work focuses on developing an uncertainty-based framework to inform irrigation scheduling using ensemble weather forecasts.I’m also collaborating with NSW Natural Resources Committee on the identifying and explaining the long-term trends in water quantity and quality in forested catchments throughout NSW.
