Description :
This event aims at preparing for a new ESA Science Cluster, i.e. a grouping of ESA science projects that collaborate to address some priority science challenges, and which will in a second step establish collaboration with projects and other activities of the European Commission. The logic of the event is to present a brief panorama of ESA and DG-RTD activities in the domain of hydrology, highlight some priority science challenges to address in the future, and discuss how to make different projects work together in order to solve such challenges.
