2050年の水文学研究
Background/Motivation
Water sciences, such as hydrology, climatology, limnology, oceanology, coastal engineering, etc., pay the ever-strongest attention to climate change (CC) and its impact assessments. In 1990s and 2000s, CC research in hydrology was simply translating future projected rainfall to the resultant water cycle. Now, this topic became further more sophisticated, including more detailed hydraulic analysis such as inundation, landslides and their translation into economic impacts. The urgent needs of society for climate change adaptation accelerated such studies during this short period. In 2050, when climate change more explicitly emerges, how will or should our hydrological research, especially for CC assessments/adaptation/mitigation go? I would like to discuss the future of hydrology research: more social sciences associated, climate change validation, hydrological modelling, hydrological observation, etc.
