HYDRALAB-PLUS: HYDRALAB+ Adapting to climate change
HYDRALAB+ is an advanced network of environmental research institutes in Europe whose purpose is to provide access to a number of major and unique hydraulic installations across Europe. The project’s objective is to prepare the hydraulic modelling of the environment for the future and to respond to the technical challenges related to climate change adaptations through a multidisciplinary scientific approach. HYDRALAB+ helps broaden the climate change perspective by undertaking networking activities involving the participation of the hydraulic community. The project aims to strengthen the experimental hydraulic research by improving the infrastructures so that they facilitate scientific progress in the field, but also to contribute to a better approach to climate change adaptation issues.
- Extending access to major and unique EU hydraulic environmental research infrastructures;
- Achieving an improved interdisciplinary approach in the field of experimental environmental hydraulics by combining knowledge from a range of sub-disciplines – ecohydraulics, morphodynamics, hydraulics, structures and engineering of the frozen environment – which, together with integral research activities, can respond to the future challenges regarding the adaptations to climate change;
- Developing the state-of-the-art tools necessary for the new interdisciplinary approaches and complex applications in relation to the eco-hydraulic and/or hydraulic structures;
- Realizing the exchange of experimental data obtained thrugh numerical modeling and field campaigns, as well as the transfer of data to the scientific community and other stakeholders, including government agencies;
- Conducting recorded online seminars (for YouTube), to be then archived;
- Expanding the experimental hydraulic research community in Europe and worldwide.
