TL;DR: The Prediction in Ungauged Basins (PUB) initiative of the International Association of Hydrological Sciences (IAHS) launched in 2003 and concluded by the PUB Symposium 2012 held in Delft (23-25 October 2012), set out to shift the scientific culture of hydrology towards improved scientific understanding of hydrological processes, as well as associated uncertainties and the development of models with increasing realism and predictive power as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hydrological drought explained
TL;DR: A review of the current state of scientific knowledge of definitions, processes, and quantification of hydrological drought is given in this paper, where the influence of climate and terrestrial properties (geology, land use) on hydrologic drought characteristics and the role of storage is discussed.

Fragmentation and flow regulation of the world's large river systems
Christer Nilsson,Christer Nilsson,Catherine A. Reidy,Catherine A. Reidy,Mats Dynesius,Mats Dynesius,Carmen Revenga,Carmen Revenga +7 more
TL;DR: A global overview of dam-based impacts on large river systems shows that over half (172 out of 292) are affected by dams, including the eight most biogeographically diverse catchments, which can be used to identify ecological risks associated with further impacts onLarge river systems.

Resilience Thinking: Sustaining Ecosystems and People in a Changing World
Brian Walker,David E. Salt +1 more
TL;DR: Resilience thinking as mentioned in this paper is a new way of understanding the world and a new approach to managing resources, it embraces human and natural systems as complex entities continually adapting through cycles of change and seeks to understand the qualities of a system that must be maintained or enhanced in order to achieve sustainability.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Anthropocene: conceptual and historical perspectives
TL;DR: In this article, the Anthropocene epoch has been formally recognized as a new epoch in Earth history, arguing that the advent of the Industrial Revolution around 1800 provides a logical start date for the new epoch.
