教学目标 Course Objectives
Global hydrology studies terrestrial hydrological cycle and water resources on a global scale, or it addresses
human impacts on water systems in a globalized and telecoupled world. This course provides the fundamental
concepts, numerical methods and latest findings of global hydrology and water use models, illustrates the most
advanced topics related to global hydrology, e.g. water footprint, virtual water, food-energy-water nexus, water
scarcity and security, and demonstrate the human’s environmental footprints and sustainability. It provides
students with a comprehensive overview of the interactions between human and water in a coupled natural and
socio-economic system. It analyses the options for improving water supply and protecting the environment,
emphasizing the need for international collaboration in a changing societal and environmental context.
This course provides a novel interdisciplinary approach to water in a changing world, from an environmental
change perspective and inter-related social, political and economic dimensions.
