主讲人简介/Biography:
Dr. Xudong Zhou is a Project Research Associate at the Institute of Industrial Science, University of Tokyo. He holds dual PhD degrees from Paris Saclay University (2018) and Hohai University (2019). After achieving his doctorates, he joined the University of Tokyo, first as a PostDoc (2019) and then as a Project Research Associate (2021). His research primarily focuses on hydrological processes in an evolving environment. Specifically, he is keenly interested in examining changes in flood risks under climate change, the influence of human activities on the land surface water cycle, and the exploration of uncertainties using global hydrology, land surface, and hydrodynamic models. He is a strong advocate of open science and collaborative research. He established the Hydro90 Research platform, with currently boasts a community of over 20,000 followers in the field of Hydrology and relevant subjects.
讲座摘要/Abstract:
Observations suggest that the frequency and intensity of global floods are on the rise due to global warming, escalating their impact. However, flood observation challenges persist, including incomplete coverage and a lack of early-stage information. The complexities of historical flood patterns, both spatial and temporal, as well as their evolving intensities, still require the assistance of models to truly comprehend.
In this talk, I will introduce our research about historical hydrodynamic simulations and the methods we employ to validate these simulations with various observational data, including satellite-derived information. We'll also share findings on the changing characteristics of floods over time, as seen in both observational data and simulation results. Lastly, we will shed light on the evolving landscape of global flood hazards and discuss how we assess their impact using traditional and newly developed observational techniques.
