Climate change poses critical threats to waterrelated safety and sustainability in the Mekong River basin. Hydrological impact signals from earlier Coupled Model Intercomparison Project phase 3 (CMIP3)-based assessments, however, are highly uncertain and largely ignore hydrological extremes. This paper provides one of the first hydrological impact assessments using the CMIP5 climate projections...

Abstract. State-of-the-art global hydrological models (GHMs) exhibit large uncertainties in simulations due to the complexity, diversity, and heterogeneity of land surface subsurface processes, as well scale dependency these processes associated parameters. Recent progress machine learning, fueled by relevant Earth observation data streams, may help overcome challenges. But learning methods are...

Abstract The Mediterranean-Black Sea system consists of two semi-enclosed basins connected by the Turkish Straits. In turn, Mediterranean is to Atlantic Ocean through narrow Strait Gibraltar. hydrological cycle driven fresh water exchanges between atmosphere, continents and oceans, salty mass exchange among ocean basins. Monitoring such fluxes, especially its time evolution, essential understan...

Evapotranspiration is a central process of the hydrological cycle, and various water saving measures are based on it. However, there is little research work on evapotranspiration in the world. In particular, there is rare hydrological cycle-based research on the impact of channel lining on evapotranspiration in arid and semi-arid regions. This paper applies a hydrological cycle model to examine...

Mangrove restoration projects, aimed at restoring important values of mangrove forests after degradation, often fail because hydrological conditions are disregarded. We present a simple, but robust methodology to determine hydrological suitability for mangrove species, which can guide restoration practice. In 15 natural and 8 disturbed sites (i.e. disused shrimp ponds) in three case study regio...
