The theme of the 5th International Conference on Hydrology and Earth System Science for Society (HESSS5) is “Collaborative Solutions at Nexus of Regional and Global Water and Food Security.”
We draw on the historical HESSS community to attend — GEWEX, model inter-comparison groups, global modelling, flux measurement, data assimilation, hydrology, ecology and socio-hydrology — and this year extend the invitees to include Canada’s Global Water Futures (GWF) program, a research network funded by the Canada First Research Excellence Fund and operated by GIWS.
HESSS5 will foster transdisciplinary discussions on research progress, emerging research needs and socio-economic and political innovations that are necessary to ensure regional and global water and food security. Crosscutting themes will include governance, resilience and progress towards UN Sustainable Development Goals.
Participants from all disciplines are welcome, but will primarily come from the hydrological and agricultural communities, with interests in integrated/intersectoral models, land surface models, remote sensing, socio-economic and policy innovations, climate adaptation and surface and groundwater management.
Sessions and abstracts are encouraged on a wide range of related topics, included but not limited to: integrated hydrological modeling, agricultural crop modeling, land surface modeling including agriculture and groundwater, remote sensing of hydrology and agriculture, groundwater sustainability, climate change impacts on water and food security, climate adaptation strategies for urban and agricultural regions, socio-hydrology including innovations in integrated river basin planning and management and conjunctive surface and groundwater management in agricultural regions.
