A Novel Synergy of Physics-based and Data-driven Methods for Reliable Hydrological Predictions under Changing Climate
by M. Schumacher
Extreme events such as floods and droughts are expected to become more frequent and intense due to the climate change. In this project, I will develop a novel method to combine physics-based modelling of the water cycle with physics-based calibration/data assimilation and data-driven methods. This approach will provide new scientific key insights on hydro-meteorological processes that lead to floods and droughts. The grant will fund two PhD students and one postdoc.
