DESCRIPTION:Prof. Manuela Brunner\n\n\nProf. Tom Beucler\n\n\n\n\nThis sem
 inar will be held in hybrid format\, online and in person at the GEO-1620
 \, UNIL campus. It is organised in collaboration with the Expertise Cente
 r for Climate Extremes (ECCE).\n \n\nClimate and reservoir influences on 
 droughts\, floods\, and their transitions\nPresented by Prof. Manuela Brun
 ner\, Institute for Atmospheric and Climate Science\, ETHZ & WSL\n\n\nThe 
 frequency and magnitude of hydrological extremes\, namely\, droughts\, flo
 ods\, and their transitions\, are undergoing change. In this talk\, I show
  how these different types of extremes are responding to climate change an
 d how they are influenced by water regulation\, specifically reservoirs. I
 n addition\, I discuss potential adaptation approaches to ongoing and futu
 re changes in hydrologic extremes.\n \n\n\nTropical precipitation in a ch
 anging climate\nPresented by Prof. Tom Beucler\, Head of the Data-Driven A
 tmospheric & Water Dynamics laboratory\, FGSE\, UNIL\n\n\nHeavy precipitat
 ion causes severe flooding and water storage issues across the globe\, esp
 ecially in the Tropics where most of the vulnerable world population resid
 es. Understanding and accurately representing precipitation processes in t
 ropical regions is therefore crucial for improving forecasting tools in th
 e Tropics and global Earth system models used for climate projections.\n\n
