About this Research Topic
To understand the complex interactions between human and water systems, this theme explores archetypes of socio-hydrological phenomena across spatiotemporal scales. By integrating comparative studies in these regions and phenomena, this theme aims to gain a deeper understanding of past and present human-water dynamics and their changes. It fosters a comprehensive classification and comparison research framework. By integrating the knowledge gained, archetypes that encompass common interaction patterns and collective resilience to extreme events such as floods and droughts can be identified.
This theme includes:
i) historical processes and regime shifts of human-water interactions and their regional comparison.
ii) identify new phenomena, investigate/unpack phenomena through modeling/ narratives, or classify/synthesize existing phenomena into universal archetypes through comparative studies.
iii) provide generic/transferable insights into resilience of systems witnessing an archetype.
iv) identify socio-hydrological dynamics across spatiotemporal scales.
