New present-day and projected future global Köppen-Geiger climate classification maps at a 1 km resolution are now freely available via http://www.gloh2o.org/koppen/. The present-day (1980–2016) map uses topographically corrected climatic maps as input. The projected future conditions (2071–2100) are […]

Less than 1% of global river flows is used for irrigation, and only 1% of that occurs in Australia. That is the result of a high-resolution global model-data analysis we published recently. The importance of evaporation from wetlands, […]

New research shows that hydrological model streamflow estimates can be improved be integrating streamflow and satellite soil moisture measurements. The team of scientists from the Netherlands, US and Australia set out to assess the difference in model-derived streamflow estimates when introducing […]

Evapotranspiration from the global land surface has increased significantly due to increases in transpiration and interception that are only partially counteracted by decreasing soil evaporation, a new study reports. Terrestrial evaporation (ET) is a key component of the energy and water cycles over global […]
