Eurasian Hydroclimatology: observations, change, attribution, and impacts

In November, 2007 a workshop was hosted by the International Arctic Research Center at the University of Alaska Fairbanks that had goals closely aligned with the NEESPI program. The goals of this workshop were to 1) describe observed changes in the Eurasian hydroclimatological system over the instrumental period from stations, gridded data, reanalyses and remote sensing; 2) apply our knowledge of biases and inhomogeneity in the observational record; 3) attribute changes to specific physical processes in both the regional and global domain; 4) discuss implications of change for water resources and other human systems. Results from the workshop will be discussed in this presentation.
