Global Change and Extreme Hydrology: Testing Conventional Wisdom
Author:
Committee on Hydrologic Science: National Research Council
Date Published:

Description:
Workshop proceedings report from January 2010 workshop that brought together atmospheric scientists, hydrologists, water managers, and decision makers to examine how climate warming translates into hydrologic extremes like floods and droughts. It presents an overview of the state of the science in terms of climate change and extreme hydrologic events and examines the conventional wisdom that, because a warmer atmosphere can hold more water vapor, climate change will accelerate the hydrologic cycle, fuel more evaporation, and generate more precipitation. 2011.
