Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue will include selected papers that were presented in the 16th International Conference on Environmental Science and Technology—CEST2019 (www.cest.gnest.org), which was held in Rhodes from 4 to 7 September 2019.
The main aim of this Special Issue is to present the latest trends in the fields of hydrology, hydrological forecasting and services, and water resousrce management, as well as to deal with topics regarding the protection of the marine environment. Subtopics to be covered are as follows:
- Lakes, rivers, estuaries, and ecosystem health;
- Wetlands protection and restoration;
- Marine environment and coastal management;
- Water management in arid communities/places;
- Process understanding through innovative sensors and remote sensing;
- Μodel hypothesis testing, diagnostics, and causality;
- River systems in diverse climates and environments;
- Estimation and prediction under past and future conditions (climate, population, land use change);
- Prediction in ungauged basins and prediction under uncertainty;
- Operational and impact-based forecasting, and data assimilation;
- Floods, droughts, and water scarcity;
- Water and climate services—challenges and user-tailored developments;
- Water policy, management, and society;
- Water, energy, and/or food nexus;
- Hydrological education and cooperative experiments (exchange programs and virtual laboratories;
- Environmental data analysis and modeling.
