Uncovering Systemic Dynamics through an Integrated WEFE Nexus Index across 21st Century Futures Özcan, Zeynep; Alp, Emre (2026-02-05) Achieving sustainability under accelerating climate and socioeconomic pressures requires moving beyond siloed sectoral management toward a system-thinking approach. The water-energy-food-ecosystem (WEFE) Nexus offers a hol...
Comparing Physically Based and Data-Driven Approaches for Seasonal Streamflow Forecasting in California’s Upper Feather River Basin Özcan, Zeynep; Kavvas, M.L. (2026-01-01) Seasonal streamflow forecasts are essential for reservoir operations, flood management, and irrigation planning, particularly in snow-dominated basins where climate-driven extremes challenge stationarity-based methods. Thi...
Hybrid physical-statistical framework for seasonal streamflow forecasting in the Upper Feather River Basin, California Özcan, Zeynep; Iseri, Y.; Ulloa, F.; Imbulana, N.; Snider, E.; Mure-Ravaud, M.; Anderson, M. L.; Kavvas, M. L. (2025-08-01) Seasonal streamflow forecasts are essential given climate-driven extremes that breach stationarity in traditional methods. The complex hydrology and competing demands necessitate improved forecasting in the Upper Feather R...
Assessment of the Water-Energy-Food-Ecosystem Nexus under Diverse Socioeconomic and Climate Scenarios: The Upper Sakarya River Basin Case Özcan, Zeynep; Alp, Emre (2025-05-21)
Seasonal Flow Forecasting in the Sacramento River Basin: An Application in the American River Watershed Snider, E.; Kavvas, M.L.; Iseri, Y.; Imbulana, N.; Ulloa, F.; Özcan, Zeynep; Anderson, M.L. (2025-01-01) Forecasting monthly flow in the Sacramento River Basin is vital for water resources planning and management in the state of California. One important subbasin is the American River Watershed, located to the east of Sacrame...
Seasonal Inflow Forecasting Based on a Physically Based Hydro-Climatic Model for the Shasta Lake Basin, California Imbulana, N.; Kavvas, M.L.; Iseri, Y.; Ulloa, F.; Hiraga, Y.; Özcan, Zeynep; Snider, E.; Daniels, B.; Anderson, M.L. (2025-01-01) Seasonal forecasting is essential for effective water resource management, but it remains challenging, especially in the context of climate change and the added uncertainty it brings. It is becoming increasingly clear that...
A Seasonal Forecasting System for the Sacramento River Basin in California: Coupled Atmospheric-Hydrologic Numerical Model WEHY-HCM Integrated with a Lead Time-Dependent Seasonal Statistical Filternet Kavvas, M.L.; Iseri, Y.; Ulloa, F.; Imbulana, N.; Özcan, Zeynep; Snider, E.; Daniels, B.; Anderson, M.L. (2025-01-01) To forecast monthly river flows at Sacramento River Basin in California during February-July period of a year, a numerical atmospheric/hydrologic modeling system was coupled with a statistical updating system to create a s...
Integrated Methodology for Seasonal Inflow Forecasting: A Case Study of the Upper Feather River Basin Özcan, Zeynep; Kavvas, M.L.; Iseri, Y.; Imbulana, N.; Ulloa, F.; Snider, E.; Anderson, M.L. (2025-01-01) Seasonal inflow forecasting is crucial for managing water resources and understanding climate impacts on river systems. Recent extreme events have exposed the limitations of traditional statistical water supply forecasting...
Evaluation of a WEHY-HCM Seasonal Forecasting System of Monthly Flows for the Yuba River Basin in California Ulloa, F.; Kavvas, M.L.; Iseri, Y.; Imbulana, N.; Özcan, Zeynep; Snider, E.; Daniels, B.; Anderson, M.L. (2025-01-01) We present the results and evaluation of a Seasonal Forecasting System based on the Watershed Environmental Hydrology-Hydroclimate Model (WEHY-HCM) applied to the Yuba River Basin. The forecasting system takes 15 members f...
From nexus thinking to nexus implementation in South Europe and beyond: mutual learning between practitioners and policymakers Özcan, Zeynep; Willaarts, Barbara; Klessova, Svetlana; Caucci, Serena; Prista, Luisa; Adamos, Giannis; Laspidou, Chrysi (2024-07-01)
