THA 2015 International Conference on Climate Change and Water & Environment Management in Monsoon Asia

Concept description:

The objective of THA2015 is to provide a platform for researchers, scientists, practitioners, and policy makers to share and present new advances, research findings, perspectives, and experiences in Disaster, Irrigation and Water Management. Special attentions will be given to developing certain skills or competence, or general upgrading of performance ability for climate change adaptation, participatory water management, disaster and environment management, and sustainable development in the monsoon Asia. The conference will bring together leading researchers, engineers, scientists, and officials in the domain of interest from around the world. Seven selected and peer-reviewd articles published in Hydrological Research Letters are specially collected for THA2015. This special collection provide the state-of-art research outcomes about climate change and water and environmental manegement in Monsoon Asia. Some of articles in this special collection are financially supported by THA2015 organizing committee and the Japan Society of Hydrology and Water Resources.
