The 19th Biennial ERB Conference 2024 aims to gather scientists working in small experimental catchments to foster communication and collaboration, share information on new monitoring technologies, analysis techniques, and recent scientific findings, to ultimately promote advancements in catchment hydrology.The conference aims to focus on recent advances in catchment hydrology and has special sessions for both human- and climate change-impacted small catchments and related measuring techniques:
- Human and climate thresholds of land degradation: new measurement techniques in small
catchments
- Natural hazards assessment & early-warning systems: integrated management under
climate
change
impacts
in human-impacted small catchments
- Integrated vulnerability assessment: implementation of nature-based solutions for
increase
resilience
from multi-hazards
