“Did this map find me or was it me who found it?” Life is too short to be unhappy. I have decided to make maps for fun. And yes, Raytracing is the vogue. Thanks Milos Popovic for reawakening my lost hobby. Everyone: Milos' YouTube tutorials are fab! linkedin.com/posts/pallav-s…

What was the lead time for predicting the 2021 summer flood in Germany? Could we estimate the number of buildings to be inundated in real-time? We will address these questions during a talk on impact-based flood EWS at @EGU24. 🕰️When? Monday, at 15:00 🏢 Where? Room 3.29/30

Do you work on large-scale streamflow simulations with gridded hydrological models? Do you face challenges while including gauges with small catchments in a single domain setup? Then my talk might be of interest to you (teaser included below): EGU Hydrology European Geosciences Union

Looking for a thumb rule to help you decide on which reservoirs to incorporate in your hydrological model? Checkout the relationship we found between value of reservoirs on streamflow simulations downstream and two easily obtainable disruptivity indices: doi.org/10.1029/2023WR…

🚨New research alert🚨 Our open-access paper in Nature Communications dives into real-time flood impacts, #floodpreparedness #impactforecasting and #earlywarningsystems ! Link: nature.com/articles/s4146… UFZ Team: @lese66 Pallav Shrestha @ORakovec @rkumar_1982 StephanThober

Our Nature Communications paper demonstrates how our new state-of-the-art, process based FEWS captured the “impacts” of a 8000 year return period flood, 17h in advance! Operationalising ongoing. Model chain details in the paper. Husain Najafi @ORakovec @lese66 @rkumar_1982 StephanThober

Is a constant albedo for water surfaces a fair assumption in global hydrological modeling? In our latest WRR paper, we used space-time varying albedo, based on the angle of the sun above the horizon, for estimating reservoir evaporation. Paper link: doi.org/10.1029/2023WR…

Researchers from #UFZ and GFZ have developed a system with which the impacts of floods can more precisely be forecast. It provides not only timely data on water levels, but also high-resolution dynamic inundation maps. ufz.de/index.php?en=3…
