THEME

Exploring Big Data in HydroClimatology 

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.

Who can apply

• Applicants pursuing Postgraduate (PG) or PhD degrees in Water Resources, Climate Change, Agriculture, Disaster Management & allied fields from Indian Institutes/Colleges/Universities can apply.

• Total number of seats are limited to 100.

• Registration fee for each participant will be 2000/- rupees only. The top 25 participants shall be supported by the organizers for the shared accommodation, travel costs (as per GoI norms upon reimbursement of bills) and food.

• Organizers will support all the participants with study material, registration kit and snacks during the workshop.

• A departmental committee will review the applications, and shortlisted candidates will be informed through email.

Objective of the Program

The objectives of the STAMBH are

• 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.
