Global Hydrology

New publication

New papers: Global 1 km hydrology; A multi-resolution surrogate model; Australian groundwater dependent ecosystem mapping; Crop grow modelling across the US; Energy use of clean water provision;Regional drivers of multi-year drought!

It has been a while, but it is good to highlight some recent papers by the global hydrology team PhDs: A first attempt to simulate global hydrology and water resources at 1 km by Barry van Jaarveld et al. A multi-resolution surrogate for our global hydrological model PCR-GLOBWB by Bram Droppers et al. Australian groundwater…

A new global groundwater model and the impacts of sea-level rise on coastal fresh groundwater

We have two new exciting publications to show. Paper 1:GLOBGM v1.0: a parallel implementation of a 30 arcsec PCR-GLOBWB-MODFLOW global-scale groundwater model Jarno Verkaik‘s next paper is out! He presents the first 1 km transient two-layer global groundwater model. Another step towards better representation of groundwater in Earth System Models and improving global groundwater sustainability assessment….

New paper in ERL: global estimates of offshore groundwater resources

Out now, a new paper by Daniel Zamrsky: estimates of offshore fresh groundwater volumes in coastal unconsolidated sediment systems; a potential fresh water source in water stressed areas for the 21st century https://doi.org/10.1088/1748-9326/ac4073…. Estimates are based on variable saturated groundwater flow and transport models for 2784 coastal profiles (including geological uncertainty) for 116 coastal regions,…

New publication on evaluation of groundwater representations in large-scale hydrological models

Come join us on the quest to improve the evaluation of groundwater representations in continental- to global-scale models! This is the third in a series of review papers on global hydrological models, with the other two being: Global hydrology 2015: State, trends and directions Global Groundwater Modeling and Monitoring: Opportunities and Challenges

New paper: Large-scale sensitivities of groundwater and surface water to groundwater withdrawal

We introduce a simple analytical framework that allows us to estimate to what extent large-scale groundwater withdrawal affects groundwater levels and streamflow. It also calculates which part of the groundwater withdrawal comes out of groundwater storage and which part from a reduction in streamflow. Global depletion rates obtained with the framework are compared with estimates…
