On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Global-scale modelling of river hydrodynamics is essential for understanding global hydrological cycle, and is also required in interdisciplinary research fields (e.g. earth/climate system modelling and flood risk forecasting/assessment). Global river models have been developed continuously for more than two decades, but modelling river flow at a global scale remains a challenging topic as surface water movement in continental rivers is a multi-spatial-scale phenomena. Dr Dai Yamazaki presents his CaMa-Flood (Catchment-based Macro-scale Floodplain) model, a global hydrodynamic model which addresses the challenge of modelling river flow at a global scale.
Dai Yamazaki Ph.D. is a Research Scientist at JAMSTEC (Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology), Japan. His research interests include surface water hydrodynamics in rivers and floodplains at a global scale, based on wide-range approaches (e.g. modelling, remote sensing, database development, and data assimilation). He holds a Ph.D. in civil engineering from the University of Tokyo.
