The workshop is concerned with the Earth's hydrological cycle, a key component of the Earth's climate. The challenge for Earth Observation is to gather information to help understand what happens to water under global change and the impact this change has on society. The workshop will address this challenge by bringing together world-recognized experts on various aspects of the hydrological cycle, including Earth Observation and models and their integration.
