`Human Perception of Singular Hydrological Events’ 21st -22nd March 2016

As a consequence of witnessing several extreme natural phenomena in recent years and the constantly increasing degree of vulnerability these disasters represent to our societies, an interdisciplinary debate of their significance for human life and planning is becoming necessary. For that reason the conference intends to introduce different scientific perspectives regarding these phenomena into discourse. Papers from the fields of natural sciences, humanities, cultural studies and theologies are intended to foster discussion on how to create awareness of such hazardous situations. These will have an enduring presence as an individual and shared experience, so that these events can be prevented, or at least their impact minimised or dealt with more successfully, by change of behaviour in general and by prevention of an advance in such singular events.
