Dr. Samuel Jonson Sutanto

During the European Geoscience Union (EGU) General Assembly 2025, held in Vienna from 27 April to 2 May 2025, I will be co-convening a session together with colleagues titled: “Challenges in climate prediction: multiple time-scales and the Earth system dimensions” (Session CL4.8). The main goals of the session are (i) to identify gaps in current climate prediction methods and (ii) to report and evaluate the latest progress in climate forecasting on sub seasonal-to-decadal and longer timescales. We also welcome contributions that explore the use of climate predictions for climate impact assessment, demonstrate their value for climate risk applications and adaptation, and support the development of early warning systems. This session will be held on Thursday 1 May 2025 from 14.00 to 15.45 in room 049/50 for Oral Presentation, and from 16.15 to 18.00 in Hall X5 for Poster.

In parallel, on the same day (Thursday 1 May 2025) from 15.10 to 15.20 in Room B, I will present our study on compound flood and drought (CFD) events. This research examines changes in the characteristics and return period of single flood and drought events, as well as changes in co pound flood and drought (CFD) characteristics. Using daily streamflow data from the CWatM (CommunityWaterModel) model, we analyzed four major European rivers during historical and future periods under two climate scenarios (SSP1-2.6 and SSP5-8.5). If you are curious about the findings, I’d be delighted to see you at my presentation!
