Cloud Forest Hydrology in a Changing Context: An Approach to understanding the impact of CLimate Change and Deforestation on the Water Balance of the Sierra Yalijux, Alta Verapaz, Guatemala

This project is a consulting project for Community Cloud Forest Conservation (CCFC) on how to obtain and communicate to relevant stakeholders an understanding of the impact of land use change and climate change on the hydrological balance of the cloud forest ecosystem in the Sierra Yalijux. The outcomes of the project will be used by CCFC and...

Assessing the impact of climate change on streamflow in catchments across the United States, using an easily reproducible modeling approach

In this thesis, an easily reproducible modeling approach was developed for assessing the climate change impact on streamflow. This approach was tested by using it to assess the impact of climate change on streamflow in 5 different contrasting catchments across the United States. Many studies show that climate change is expected to influence...

The effects of future climate-induced adaptation of root zone storage capacity on modelled streamflow dynamics

Hydrological models are often used to evaluate future changes in streamflow. Despite the strong aware- ness of non-stationarity in hydrological system characteristics, model parameters are often assumed stationary and obtained through calibration on past conditions. The representation of system change in hydrological models is challenging, as a...
