7th International Conference on Geotechnical and Geophysical Site Characterization (ISC7-24)

Jesús Sánchez Pinedo — Mon, 27 May 2024 10:10:55 +0200

ISSN: 3081-3131

The ISC (International Conference on Geotechnical and Geophysical Site Characterization) conferences are regular events promoted by ISSMGE’s TC102 (Technical Committee for Ground Property Characterization from In-Situ Tests) to gather experts and practitioners in the areas of geotechnical characterization, with special emphasis on in situ mechanical and geophysical testing tools and procedures. Since 1998, geotechnical engineers, geologist and geophysicists from all over the world have gathered at ISCs in Atlanta (1998), Porto (2004), Taipei (2008), Recife (2012), Gold Coast (2016) and Budapest (2021) to share their knowledge and experiences.

Numerical and Analytical Methods Applied to Water Resources Development Projects: Recent Trends

Jason Jiang — Thu, 07 May 2026 08:47:26 +0200

Deadline Date: 31 December 2026

Abstract

Water resources development projects are increasingly challenged by climate variability, rapid urbanization, and intensifying hydro-meteorological extremes. In this evolving context, numerical and analytical methods have become fundamental tools for the design, assessment, and management of complex water systems. Advances in computational hydraulics, hydrological modelling, and data-driven techniques have significantly improved predictive capabilities, enabling more reliable and efficient engineering solutions.

This special issue aims to consolidate recent developments in numerical and analytical approaches applied to water resources engineering. Contributions are invited in areas including hydrodynamic and hydrological modelling, sediment transport, river morphology, flood forecasting, and real-time data-driven systems. Emphasis will be placed on model integration, uncertainty quantification, hybrid modelling approaches, and multi-scale simulations.

In addition to technical innovations, the issue encourages submissions that demonstrate how modelling frameworks support sustainable water management, climate change adaptation, and policy-oriented decision-making. The special issue seeks to bridge the gap between theoretical advancements and practical implementation in water resources development projects worldwide.

Importance and Timeliness

The increasing occurrence of extreme hydrological events, coupled with anthropogenic pressures on water systems, demands advanced analytical frameworks for planning and management. Numerical modelling tools such as HEC-RAS, MIKE+, Delft 3D, and SWAT+ have evolved into integrated platforms capable of simulating complex interactions across hydrological and hydraulic domains.

Recent trends indicate a shift toward hybrid modelling approaches that combine physics-based methods with machine learning and data assimilation techniques. Additionally, real-time data acquisition systems (RTDAS), remote sensing, and high-performance computing have enhanced the accuracy and scalability of modelling applications.

There is also a growing emphasis on sustainability and resilience in water infrastructure design. Numerical models are now central to scenario analysis, risk assessment, and climate adaptation planning. This special issue is therefore timely in capturing emerging methodologies and interdisciplinary approaches that are shaping the future of water resources engineering.

Scope and Sub-Themes

The special issue welcomes high-quality contributions in the following areas:

Hydrodynamic and hydraulic modelling (1D/2D/3D frameworks)

Hydrological modelling and climate change impact assessment

River morphology, sediment transport, and erosion modelling

Flood forecasting, inundation modelling, and early warning systems
