Global Hydrological Cycles and World Water Resources
Climate change is expected to accelerate water cycles and thereby increase the available RFWR, which would slow down the increase of people living under water stress; however, changes in seasonal patterns and increasing probability of extreme events may offset this effect.
Regions of Strong Coupling Between Soil Moisture and Precipitation

Environmental Science
A multimodel estimation of the regions on Earth where precipitation is affected by soil moisture anomalies during Northern Hemisphere summer indicates potential benefits of this estimation may include improved seasonal rainfall forecasts.
GSWP-2 Multimodel Analysis and Implications for Our Perception of the Land Surface

Environmental Science, Geography
Abstract The Second Global Soil Wetness Project (GSWP-2) is an initiative to compare and evaluate 10-year simulations by a broad range of land surface models under controlled conditions. A major…
Design of Total Runoff Integrating Pathways (TRIP)—A Global River Channel Network
As a first step toward designing a comprehensive model for validating land surface hydrology and river flow in Earth system models, a global river channel network has been prepared at 18 latitude 3…
A physically based description of floodplain inundation dynamics in a global river routing model
- Dai YamazakiS. KanaeHyungjun KimT. Oki
- 1 April 2011
Environmental Science
Current global river routing models do not represent floodplain inundation dynamics realistically because the storage and movement of surface waters are regulated by small‐scale topography rather…
IAHS Decade on Predictions in Ungauged Basins (PUB), 2003–2012: Shaping an exciting future for the hydrological sciences
- M. SivapalanK. Takeuchi E. Zehe
- 1 December 2003
Environmental Science, Engineering
Abstract Drainage basins in many parts of the world are ungauged or poorly gauged, and in some cases existing measurement networks are declining. The problem is compounded by the impacts of…

Global potential soil erosion with reference to land use and climate changes
- Dawen YangS. KanaeT. OkiT. KoikeK. Musiake
- 15 October 2003
Environmental Science, Geography
A GIS‐based RUSLE model is employed to study the global soil erosion potential for viewing the present situation, analysing changes over the past century, and projecting future trends with reference…
Historical isotope simulation using Reanalysis atmospheric data
- K. YoshimuraM. KanamitsuD. NooneT. Oki
- 16 October 2008
Environmental Science, Physics
[1] In this paper we present a multidecadal and global three-dimensional stable water isotope data set. This is accomplished by incorporating processes of the stable water isotopes into an…
The WULCA consensus characterization model for water scarcity footprints: assessing impacts of water consumption based on available water remaining (AWARE)
- A. BoulayJ. Bare S. Pfister
- 1 February 2018
Environmental Science
This method represents the state of the art of the current knowledge on how to assess potential impacts from water use in LCA, assessing both human and ecosystem users’ potential deprivation, at the midpoint level, and provides a consensus-based methodology for the calculation of a water scarcity footprint as per ISO 14046.
