Hydrologidagarna 2026

👋 Hej water enthusiasts!

📢 We are excited to invite you to this year’s Hydrologidagarna (HD) at Lund University on November 24!

💧 🌲 🏔️ Because our community’s expertise spans many fascinating disciplines and interests, this year’s HD will feature an open format. We warmly invite experts to share insights on any water-related topic, including hydrology, ecology, sociology, health, energy, water engineering, recreation, and beyond. 😱

‼️ If you want to participate, please sign up using the provided link below no later than November 9, 2026, at 17.

This year there will be oral presentations and poster sessions, with coffee and lunch breaks offering opportunities for in-depth discussions, meeting new and old colleagues, or simply taking a break. The HD is an excellent opportunity to:

      – share your work with our community 🗣️
      – look for new collaborations or research ideas 🤝
      – appreciate the company of other water enthusiasts 🩵

🥾 We plan a water-related excursion or workshop on 25 November as well. Whether the excursion will take place depends on the number of participants and weather conditions. If you sign up for the excursion, more information will follow. The final schedule will be announced around November 14.

☕ The event, including coffee and lunch, is free of charge to participants of member organizations. Non-members are kindly asked to contribute a small fee of 500 SEK to cover the coffee and lunch (per person to be paid before the event). This is a perfect time for organizations to join and contribute to excellent hydrology competence in Sweden.

☔ We hope to see you and many of your colleagues and look forward to inspiring talks and discussions!

SHR seminar

Seminar with James Kirchner

On 18 May, the Swedish Hydrological Council (SHR) organised a fika seminar with the King Carl XVI Gustaf Professor in Environmental Science, James “Jim” Kirchner, currently affiliated with ETH Zürich, WSL, SLU Umeå, and UC Berkeley. Water enthusiasts from across Sweden joined the seminar either in person at SLU Ultuna or through SHR discussion hubs at member organisations around the country.

Jim guided us through “Instructive surprises in the hydrological functioning of landscapes”, sharing insights into how field observations and new tracer methods have transformed our understanding of hydrological processes. From hillslope dynamics, catchment-scale heterogeneity and large-sample hydrology dataset the seminar highlighted how modern hydrology continues to challenge long-held assumptions about how landscapes store and release water.

The seminar brought together students and researchers of all career stages across Sweden.

We would once again like to thank Jim for taking the time to share his experience and inspiring perspectives with the Swedish hydrology community, and we thank everyone who joined the seminar and discussions!
