The impact of climate change on river hydrology and ecology: case study for interdisciplinary research. (SUDEM CLI) (SUDEM CLI)

The aim of this research is bringing together key experts from the climatological, hydrological and ecological research communities, as well as water managers and policy makers, in order to improve the decision making regarding the impact of climate change on aquatic and floodplain ecosystems. The first aim is to discuss relevant research issues in an open, interdisciplinary team. The focus on a case study "Nete" will allow us to adapt these relevant issues, while focusing on the combined information from climate projections, changes in flow regimes, associates water quality and ecology/biodiversity, with the final aim to allow far better projections of habitat quality and diversity.
