From 2008-09-18 to 2008-09-20

Venue: Cracow, Poland

Summary:
Hydrological extremes are drawing more and more attention due to growing number of severe floods and low-flow events observed each year in different regions of the world. Improving monitoring, modelling and predicting hydrological extremes are important tasks for the scientific community, with repercussions to engineering practice.

The conference will focus on the following themes:
- Prediction of hydrological response based on different quality measurement data;
- Hydrological model calibration for extreme conditions;
- Hydro-chemical and geomorphological response to hydrological extremes;
- Surface water - groundwater interaction under extreme conditions;
- Extreme value statistics;
- Extreme streamflow prediction in ungauged basins;
- Model data-time-step dependency on basin size, landuse and modelling approach;
- New ideas, monitoring and model developments, experiences in small basin research.

Organizers: Euromediterranean Network of Experimental and Representative Basins (ERB); UNESCO/IHP North European FRIEND Project; IAHS Prediction in Ungauged Basins (PUB); Jagiellonian University, Cracow
