Abstract

As the Earth evolves into a new geological era dominated by human beings, the "Anthropocene", under the influence of climate change, land use/cover change, human water use activities and other factors, the terrestrial water cycle is changing rapidly, and the hydrologic process presents unsteady characteristics, which has raised new demands for the update and development of hydrology.The global change hydrology thatarose in this context attempts to make sense of the natural fluctuations and human "imprint" in water cycle change, thus better understanding changes in the water cycle for sustainable water management. Global change hydrology, as a new frontier subject intersecting global change research with hydrology, aims to understand the natural and human factors in the evolution of terrestrial water cycle and their influence and feedback. This lecture will give an introduction to the main research ideas and viewpoints of global change hydrology, and look forward to its future development prospects.
