Bierkens, Department of Physical Geography, Utrecht University, Utrecht, the Netherlands Email: m.f.p.bierkens at uu.nl; web: www.globalhydrology.nl; twitter: @WaterBier This seminar reviews the current state of global hydrological and water resources modelling under change, discusses past and recent developments, and extrapolates these to future challenges and directions. It starts with describing the history of global hydrological model development in three established domains: atmospheric modelling, global water resources assessment and dynamic vegetation modelling. Next, a genealogy of global hydrological models is given. Thereafter, recent efforts to connect model components from different domains are reviewed with special reference to multi-sectoral inter-comparison projects. Also, new domains of application are identified where global hydrology is now starting to become an integral part of the analyses. I will end the seminar with a short overview of recent and future work on global hydrology and water resources in our own group on three related subjects: 1) very-high resolution global modelling of surface and groundwater hydrology; 2) including surface water quality and groundwater salinity; 3) the global limits of groundwater use.

New study on lockdown measures, greenhouse gas emissions and quality of life Together with colleagues at Karolinska Institutet, Bolin Centre scientists Alasdair Skelton and Kevin Noone just published an article titled “Lockdown measures which reduced greenhouse gas emissions with little negative impact on quality of life”. The result of lockdown measures in response to the new Covid-19 virus has been the largest fall ever of greenhouse gas emissions. But which of these measures can be used post-lockdown to sustain at least part of this reduction of emissions? This exploratory study assessed the change of perceived quality of life among 746 individuals from Stockholm region due to complying to lockdown measures. The associated change of annual per capita greenhouse emissions due to complying to lockdown measures was calculated.

Increasing the population density of big herbivores in northern high-latitude ecosystems will increase snow density and hence decrease the insulation strength of snow during winter. As a consequence, theoretically 80% of current permafrost-affected soils (<10 m) is projected to remain until 2100 even when assuming a strong warming using the Representative Concentration Pathway 8.5. Importantly, permafrost temperature is estimated to remain below -4 °C on average after increasing herbivore population density. Such ecosystem management practices would be therefore theoretically an important additional climate change mitigation strategy. Our results also highlight the importance of new field experiments and observations, and the integration of fauna dynamics into complex Earth System models, in order to reliably project future ecosystem functions and climate.

Time & Place: May 20 at 15:00 -16:00, Zoom webinar Full abstract and registration> During the last 10,000 years, Earth's climate has been relatively warm. Until recently, this warmth has been considered a natural phase of a glacial-interglacial cycle. But now evidence has emerged, that this recent warmth was partly caused by human activity already 7000 years ago. This is called the Early Anthropogenic hypothesis, a hypothesis which has provoked a major scientific debate. For this year's Bert Bolin Climate Lecture, we welcome Professor Ruddiman who has conducted many years of research on this hypothesis. His lecture will provide new insight on this important topic ------------------------------------------- Bolin Centre for Climate Research Stockholm University SE-106 91 Stockholm, Sweden -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

One of the key concerns with anthropogenic climate change are its effects on the terrestrial water cycle. Model projections indicate that anthropogenic climate change can affect regional water availability and may trigger more floods and droughts. While there is mounting evidence showing human impacts in the atmospheric part of the water cycle, the limited availability of relevant observations has so far prevented an unambiguous detection and attribution of anthropogenic climate change in terrestrial water resources and hydrological extremes. Recent advances in mobilizing large quantities of river flow time series around the globe and breakthroughs in data-driven reconstructions of essential freshwater variables using machine learning allow now for an unprecedented assessment of global hydrological change. Causal drivers of observed change are investigated using climate change detection and attribution methods, that ingest both observational information and model based evidence. The analysis allows to conclude that it is very likely that anthropogenic climate change is already impacting water resources and hydrological extremes at the global scale. Short bio Lukas Gudmundsson is a climate scientist with a special interest in global freshwater dynamics. After finalizing his PhD on large-scale hydrology and the University of Oslo (Norway), he moved to the Institute of Atmospheric and Climate Science, ETH Zurich (Switzerland), where he explores the detection and attribution of climate change impacts and uses machine learning to reconstruct the dynamics of global water availability. In his most recent work, Lukas Gudmundsson did show that globally observed trends in mean and extreme river flow is attributable to climate change.

It makes it possible for us to get more information about the managment of research data and the eventual difficulties that one as a scientist can experience. Preserving and making available data has become increasingly important in all research areas in connection with the transition to Open science within the EU and in other countries. Scientific journals and funding agencies are increasingly demanding that we not only save our data but also make it available for future research. One of the main actors in this process in our country is the Swedish National Data service (SND). You can read more about SND at https://snd.gu.se/en . This survey is carried out by the Domain Specialist function at SND, which has spatial data as its area of responsibility. The role of the domain specialists is to support both researchers and research data functions at the higher education institutions in questions regarding research data and open access. The survey aims to get a picture of how researchers at Swedish universities percieve data management and access to spatial data in different academic disciplines. By spatial data we mean here location-based digital information. It can be mainly attribute data or GIS data in vector or raster format. Anders Moberg (anders.moberg at natgeo.su.se ) och Ulf Jansson (ulf.jansson at humangeo.su.se ) working att Stockholm university and SND have compiled this survey.

One of the key concerns with anthropogenic climate change are its effects on the terrestrial water cycle. Model projections indicate that anthropogenic climate change can affect regional water availability and may trigger more floods and droughts. While there is mounting evidence showing human impacts in the atmospheric part of the water cycle, the limited availability of relevant observations has so far prevented an unambiguous detection and attribution of anthropogenic climate change in terrestrial water resources and hydrological extremes. Recent advances in mobilizing large quantities of river flow time series around the globe and breakthroughs in data-driven reconstructions of essential freshwater variables using machine learning allow now for an unprecedented assessment of global hydrological change. Causal drivers of observed change are investigated using climate change detection and attribution methods, that ingest both observational information and model based evidence. The analysis allows to conclude that it is very likely that anthropogenic climate change is already impacting water resources and hydrological extremes at the global scale. Short bio Lukas Gudmundsson is a climate scientist with a special interest in global freshwater dynamics. After finalizing his PhD on large-scale hydrology and the University of Oslo (Norway), he moved to the Institute of Atmospheric and Climate Science, ETH Zurich (Switzerland), where he explores the detection and attribution of climate change impacts and uses machine learning to reconstruct the dynamics of global water availability. In his most recent work, Lukas Gudmundsson did show that globally observed trends in mean and extreme river flow is attributable to climate change.

[Bild] New study for the Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency (MSB) by Bolin researcher A new study by Bolin Centre scientists Fernando Jaramillo and colleagues assesses the potential slow onset risks occurring in Sweden due to climate change by the year 2050 and map these risks spatially. In September 2020, the Department of Crisis Preparedness and Civil Defence of the Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency (MSB) contacted the Department of Physical Geography and the Bolin Centre for Climate Research of Stockholm University. The request was to conduct a literature review regarding the potential risks in Sweden from climate change by 2050, especially those occurring after the adaptation and mitigation strategies are adopted by the Swedish Government to tackle climate change. The study would be developed during four months, from September to December 2020, and would comprise mainly of a literature review. “We have worked together with colleagues at Uppsala University and Mid Sweden University. Our group took a particular focus on hydro climatology and water resources, taking advantage of the Department of Physical Geography’s background and the focus of Research Area 3 of the Bolin Centre for Climate Research,” says lead researcher Fernando Jaramillo.

Currently, scientists are trying to predict where species will be lost due to climate change so they can plan effective conservation strategies. However, research on temperature tolerance has generally focused on the temperatures that are lethal to organisms, rather than the temperatures at which organisms can no longer breed. "Other organisms than fruit flies will likely suffer from reduced fertility in a warmer climate. Insects can’t regulate body temperature, and for animals with small ranges, finding a place cool enough might not be possible,” says Rhonda Snook, professor at the Department of Zoology, Stockholm University, co-author of the article.
