ABSTRACT The downscaling of global climate models (GCMs) aims at incorporating finer
scale information to their horizontal resolution in order to represent regional and local …

Spectral nudging—a scale‐selective interior constraint technique—is commonly used in
regional climate models to maintain consistency with large‐scale forcing while permitting …

Implementing environmental flows has emerged as a major river management tool for
addressing the impacts of hydrologic alteration in large river systems. The “natural flow …

Recently a number of scientists have proposed substantial changes to the practice of climate
modeling, though they disagree over what those changes should be. We provide an …

Global assessments show profound impacts of human activities on freshwater systems that,
without action, are expected to reach crisis point in the 2030s. By then, the capacity of …

Risks from human intervention in the climate system are raising concerns with respect to
individual species and ecosystem health and resiliency. A dominant approach uses global …

It is widely recognised that southwest Western Australia has experienced a decline in rainfall
over the last 40 years. It is generally thought that this decline is due to natural periodic …

Climate is one of many factors to be considered in adapting systems to environmental and
societal change and often it is not the most important factor. Moreover, given considerable …

The combined actions of natural and human factors change the timing and availability of
water resources and, correspondingly, water demand in metropolitan areas. This leads to an …

Despite having offered important hydroclimatic insights, streamflow reconstructions still see
limited use in water resources operations, because annual reconstructions are not suitable …
