Climate change is raising many questions among scientists and stakeholders in the water sector. The Explore2 project has produced hydrological data (surface water and groundwater) for France, based on the latest IPCC publications. A MOOC accompanies you in the use of these data. It will be launched on June 17, and you can register now.
What are the links between climate change and watershed hydrology ? What impact does climate change have on our territories ? On what scientific basis can we build adaptation strategies to ensure sustainable management of hydrosystems ? After 3 years' work, following on from Explore2070, the French scientific community grouped together in the Explore2 project has come up with some answers.
Explore2 offers hydrological data accessible via the DRIAS-Eau portal, created thanks to the LIFE Eau&Climat project. These data can be used for studies carried out within the framework of SAGE, such as prospective studies linked to the quantitative management of water resources (e.g. HMUC, hydrology environments uses climate).
In addition to the “scientific” component of Explore2, led by INRAE, a “user support” component led by OiEau has strengthened interaction between scientists and future users of Explore2 results, thus facilitating understanding and appropriation of the scientific results produced. A MOOC was designed to provide information on the hydro-climatic data, explain the scientific choices made, present the results and support their use.
This MOOC is primarily aimed at water managers, consultancies and government officials working on water management. It comprises 15 15-minute modules, featuring contributions from scientists and users.
The MOOC will open on June 17, 2024, with the launch of three sequences spread over three weeks of self-study. You'll find numerous videos, about one each, a webinar, quizzes, a forum (active until July 5), additional resources...
