Revising Common Approaches for Calibration: Insights From a 1-D Tracer-Aided Hydrological Model With High-Dimensional Parameters and Objectives

Songjun Wu; Doerthe Tetzlaff; Chris Soulsby

Dimensionality of parameters and objectives has been increasing due to the accelerating development of models and monitoring networks resulting in major challenges for model calibration. The study highlights limitations of high-dimensional calibration approaches, the role of data uncertainty and deficiencies in model structure of process-based ecohydrological models.

Demystifying the art of isotope-enabled hydrological and climate modelling

Christian Birkel; Jodie Miller; Andrew Watson; Duc Anh Trinh; Ana Maria Durán-Quesada; Ricardo Sánchez-Murillo; Chris Soulsby; Stefan Terzer-Wassmuth; Dörthe Tetzlaff; Stefan Uhlenbrook; Yuliya Vystavna; Kei Yoshimura

Stable water isotopes are well known tracers of the hydrological cycle producing critical climate science but they are not explicitly included in influential climate reports except for paleoclimate reconstructions. The authors argue that it is time to incorporate isotopes and isotope-enabled modelling into mainstream hydroclimatic forecasting to improve climate change predictions and evidence.

A Holistic Catchment-Scale Framework to Guide Flood and Drought Mitigation Towards Improved Biodiversity Conservation and Human Wellbeing

Phillip J. Haubrock; Rachel Stubbington; Nicola Fohrer; Henner Hollert; Sonja C. Jähnig; Bruno Merz; Claudia Pahl-Wostl; Holger Schüttrumpf; Doerthe Tetzlaff; Karsten Wesche; Klement Tockner; Peter Haase

The authors suggest to combine conventional civil engineering methods, nature-based solutions, and biodiversity conservation actions at catchment-scale to leverage flood and drought mitigation and cater to improved biodiversity conservation and human wellbeing. We outline the needs in terms of legislation structure, adequate funding and governance structures to make this happen.
