Hydr’Avatar’s Contribution to ESA’s Hydrology Cluster and Hydrological Sciences: Frascati Meeting

From November 25 to 27, 2024, the Hydrology Cluster Meeting in Frascati, Italy, brought together experts in hydrology and Earth observation. The event facilitated collaboration between scientific and operational communities and projects, while supporting society to address global hydrological challenges. The Hydr’Avatar team actively participated, contributing to discussions on how satellite data and hydrological modelling can contribute to improved knowledge and management. We presented the scientifc goals of Hydr’Avatar and highlighted the strong potential of the methods we intend to leverage for water resources management and flood forecasting, among others.

We believe the Hydrology Science Cluster and other interactions between projects and consortiums will lead to improved capacity to face challenges related to the use of EO data for society in a context of climate change. We look forward for such interactions.
