About the event
Hydroclimatic research is paramount for comprehending the intricate interactions between climate and water resources, particularly amidst the escalating climate variability and change. The ramifications of hydroclimatic extremes like droughts, floods, and heatwaves extend far and wide, impacting ecosystems, agriculture, water availability, and human livelihoods. As societies strive to adapt and mitigate the consequences of these extremes, an urgent need exists to augment our understanding of hydroclimatic processes, develop effective analytical methods, and apply them to real-world scenarios.
To address these imperatives, the workshop known as STAMBH aims to provide participants with a comprehensive platform to explore and delve into the various facets of hydroclimatic research. STAMBH comprises three verticals, namely Data, Methods, and Applications, each concentrating on pivotal components of hydroclimatic analysis.
STAMBH
Event objectives
- To enhance the knowledge and understanding of the participants in hydroclimatic research, thereby raising a deeper comprehension of the subject matter.
- To enable participants to learn and apply statistical analysis and visualization techniques, equipping them with practical skills in data analysis.
- To equip participants with analytical skills to effectively analyse and interpret hydroclimatic data, enabling them to extract meaningful insights from complex datasets.
- To improve the understanding of participants by exploring practical applications of hydroclimatic research through engaging hands-on sessions.
- To equip participants with new advancements in statistics and provide expertise to address hydroclimatic challenges, empowering them to contribute to climate-related decision-making processes.
- To foster interdisciplinary collaboration and facilitate the exchange of knowledge and ideas among participants in Hydroclimatology.

Open discussion for early career researcher
Open discussions are crucial for early-career professionals because they provide a forum for networking, cooperative problem-solving, and information sharing. This forum encourages multidisciplinary cooperation and enhances professional growth by offering chances to learn and make worthwhile connections. Faculty from different departments, keynote speakers, and resource people are involved in interactive sessions that foster knowledge-sharing and problem-solving to address the difficulties experienced by early career researchers. This session highlights how crucial professional advice is in assisting researchers in overcoming challenges and advancing their goals.
YHS India
Are you looking to become more involved in the vibrant Hydrological community?
The Young Hydrologic Society (YHS) Indian chapter was established in July 2023, and since then, the YHS India community has been actively organizing and participating in various events to unite young hydrologists in India and promote their participation on larger platforms. So far, we have successfully organized a workshop for early career researchers and a webinar. Additionally, we have conveyed a short course at EGU 23 on science communication from a Global South perspective.
