The overall scope of the IGCP Unesco 582 project Hydro-Physical Processes, Impacts, Hazards and Management and the working group Tropical rivers of IAG is to provide an integrated assessment of long-term direct impacts of climate variability and human-induced change and management of tropical rivers basins by identification, quantification and modeling of key hydro-geomorphologic indicators during the past and present times. The potential impacts of global change on fluvial systems and of their socio-economic implications and flood hazards are also analyzed. Several of the largest and many of the most vulnerable rivers of the world are located in the equatorial and monsoonal region as well as some of the most active areas of fluvial sedimentation and erosion of the planet.
We welcome in this session contributions on the Quaternary history, morphodynamics, hydro-geomorphology, hazards and management of tropical rivers |

Anual Report 2010, see here!
Fluvial
systems are considered as the economic engine in tropical regions;
they have a central role in electricity production, and sustain
the bulk of agricultural production and other high-value economical
activities based on natural resources extraction (mining, fishing,
timber). At the same time they can also be drivers of natural
disasters such as floods, bank erosion and rapid channel migration.
The overall scope of this project is to provide an integrated
assessment of long-term direct impacts of climate variability
and human-induced change and management of tropical rivers basins
by identification, quantification and modeling of key hydro-geomorphologic
indicators during the past and present times. The potential impacts
of global change on fluvial systems and of their socio-economic
implications will also be analyzed.
