ICSH-STAHY Workshop 2024
The fourteenth edition of the STAHY International Workshop, STAHY 2024, will be organized by Pedro Chaffé (Federal University of Santa Catarina) in Florianópolis (Brazil). It will be a combined event together with the 9th International Symposium on Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) and the 1st Brazilian Meeting on Statistical Hydrology (EBHE).
The meeting will take place in Florianópolis, Brazil, from 4-7 November 2024.
This joint meeting brings together the experts – academics and practitioners – and young scientists alike for vibrant scientific discussions and debates. We strongly suggest participants to think of how their contributions to the meeting relate to the Themes, Goals and Working Groups of the current IAHS Scientific Decade IAHS initiative for 2023-2032: Science for Solutions: Hydrology Engaging Local People IN one Global world (HELPING). Using the HELPING rationale as the background of our discussions will possibly induce the start and accelerate the development of activities that are already in place in many of the HELPING Working Groups.
We welcome contributions dealing with the following topics (but not limited to):
- Integrated water resources management,
- Characterization and prediction of hydrometeorological extremes,
- Forecast and optimization of water resources systems,
- Water resources in a connected world.
The conference is eligible for SYSTA travel awards (Sivapalan Young Scientists Travel Award). An abstract must already be submitted to be considered for the award.
Important dates:
31 May – Abstract submission deadline.
31 May – SYSTA Travel Grant Application deadline.
28 June – Notification of abstract acceptance.
15 July – Early bird registration deadline.
15 July – Registration deadline for presenting authors.
28 October – Registration deadline for all participants.
4-7 Nov – Conference dates.

Professor Kuczera presented a thoughtful assessment of the importance of type I and II errors in hydrological practice, and how we may be making larger longer-term mistakes at the cost of reducing short-term errors by focussing more on one error type than another.
