A multi-objective approach to select hydrological models and constrain structural uncertainties for climate impact assessments
(John Wiley and Sons, 2021-12)
The assessment of climate change impacts on water resources and flood risk is typically underpinned by hydrological models calibrated and selected based on observed streamflow records. Yet, changes in climate are rarely ...
