Abstract
Climate change is expected to alter catchment
hydrology through changes in extremes of
flooding and drought. River catchments are
complex, dynamic systems and it is important to
develop our understanding of how these systems
are likely to respond to changes in climate. Work
is ongoing in using EC-Earth simulations to further
our understanding of how climate change will
affect catchment hydrology and flood risk. In
Ireland, the importance of this task is emphasised
given the widespread socio-economic impacts of
recent flood events. This chapter reviews recent
Irish research concerning the hydrological impacts
of climate change.
