IAHS SCIENTIFIC DECADES

IAHS Scientific Decades

IAHS has proudly and successfully coordinated two Scientific Decades, which, amongst other things, set the research agenda worldwide through collaborative forces. The overall aim with a scientific decade is to accumulate knowledge and streamline the efforts so that coherent engagement, sharing and focus accelerate scientific knowledge and understanding of a specific hydrological problem or phenomena. It stimulates vivid discussions between young and senior scientists globally.

If you're curious about the IAHS Scientific Decades and want to learn more, don't hesitate to get in touch with us. Our team is passionate about what we do, and we'd love to share the details with you. Just drop us an email at [email protected], and let's embark on this scientific journey together. Your quest for knowledge starts here!

 

3^rd IAHS Scientific Decade 2023 - 2032: HELPING - Science for Solutions (Solutions)

The third Scientific Decade 2023–2032 of IAHS launches a topic for collaborative efforts in hydrological sciences: HELPING, created through a participatory community process and by applying strategic planning. The third IAHS Scientific Decade is dedicated to local solutions under the global water crisis. The name HELPING, stands for Hydrology Engaging Local People IN one Global world. This decade is a bottom-up process empowered by local hydrologists and scientists using open science and local data/methods when solving local water problems. You are invited to contribute to the process and find our more about the HELPING Working Groups. Read on here.

 

2^nd IAHS Scientific Decade 2013 - 2022: Panta Rhei - Everything Flows: Change in hydrology and society (Change)

The second IAHS Scientific Decade 2013–2022 of IAHS, entitled “Panta Rhei – Everything Flows”, was dedicated to research activities on change in hydrology and society. The purpose of Panta Rhei was to reach an improved interpretation of the processes governing the water cycle by focusing on their changing dynamics in connection with rapidly changing human systems.

1^st IAHS Scientific Decade 2003 - 2012: PUB - Predictions in Ungauged Basins (Predictions)

The first IAHS Scientific Decade 2003–2012, entitled Predictions in Ungauged Basins (PUB) was an IAHS initiative operating throughout the decade of 2003-2012, established with the primary aim of reducing uncertainty in hydrological predictions. It was a 'grass-roots' movement intended to engage the interest of hydrologists around the world, and has grown to encompass an enormous variety of approaches and settings. Read on here.
