The aim of the session was to provide an international forum for presenting new results and for discussing innovative ideas and concepts on extreme hydro-meteorological events, including: (i) the assessment of the risk posed by the extreme events, (ii) the expected changes in the frequency and intensity of the events driven by a changing climate and by multiple human- induced causes, (iii) new modelling approaches and original forecasting methods to predict extreme events and their consequences, and (iv) strategies for hazard mitigation and risk reduction, and for a improved adaptation to extreme hydro-meteorological events ...3 p.application/pdfengcc-by (c) Loukas, A. et al., 2010http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/esPrevisió del tempsPrecipitacions (Meteorologia)Canvi climàticMeteorologiaHidrologiaInundacionsWeather forecastingPrecipitations (Meteorology)Climatic changeMeteorologyHydrologyFloodsinfo:eu-repo/semantics/article5969692013-09-06info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
