Dear Colleagues,

Welcome to the April newsletter of the EGU Hydrological Sciences Division! This month, we're pleased to share our pocket guide to the hydrology highlights at EGU25, an exciting wrap-up paper of the Panta Rhei decade, the EStreams dataset, the new HydroTalks podcast episode, and much more. We also invite you to the HydroMeet networking event in Vienna!

Have a fantastic month!

Alberto Viglione, Division President

Upcoming Events and Deadlines

Not sure where to start at EGU25? Check out this pocket guide for a summary of all the hydrology highlights at the GA - from the HydroMeet networking event to the Division meeting. Plus, the EGU25 app is now available for free to help you navigate your GA journey.

Between 2013 and 2022, the IAHS scientific decade Panta Rhei helped enhance our understanding of the interactions between hydrology and society. Now, a new synthesis paper sums up 10 years of progress. A must-read for every hydrologist!

Are you looking for data on European catchments? EAWAG Zurich and TU Delft have released the website for direct access to the recently published EStreams, a combined dataset, data catalogue and data access tool for stream flow and other hydro-meteorological and landscape data for over 17.000 catchments across Europe!

Congratulations to our former HS division president Prof. Günter Blöschl on winning the prestigious 2025 Stockholm Water Prize! In the words of the nominating committee, he was awarded for his "groundbreaking contributions to understanding the drivers of increasing flood risks under climate change coupled to the strong influence of regional flood processes."

EGU Topical Events offer a variety of funding options for researchers looking to share their work with their communities through smaller, more focused events. These events provide opportunities for new ideas and methods to be exchanged. Interested? Submit your application today!

Are you attending EGU25 in Vienna? Join us at HydroMeet, the networking event organised by the HS ECS, the Young Hydrologic Society (YHS), and the International Association of Hydrological Sciences (IAHS). When? Monday, April 28 12:30-13:30! Where? Terrace G, Purple level!

Highlights from the HS Blog

Catch the second episode of HydroTalks, the official podcast series of the EGU HS division. Every month, we interview experts about advancements, challenges, and opportunities in the field of hydrology. In this month's episode, we hear from Dr. Ilja Van Meerveld and Sara Blanco on Landscape-Vegetation Interactions, Citizen Science, and CrowdWater.

Attending the EGU General Assembly in person comes with a significant carbon footprint. Traveling to Austria in an eco-friendly way can help us reduce it! Here's the story of Duncan Faulkner, president of the British Hydrological Society, who is now on his way to Vienna - by bike!

One of the biggest challenges for PhD candidates is finding appropriate literature that fits within their field of work. Our latest blog post provides a simplified guide and gives tips on how to compile a compelling thesis using interesting reads.

This year’s UN World Water Day on 22 March 2025 was under the theme of ‘Glacier Preservation’ - a nice opportunity to recall that 2025 is also the UN year on glacier preservation. This year, we also celebrate the first World Glaciers Day on 21 March 2025. Some reflections by our blog editor in chief.
