Documenting, understanding and projecting changes in the hydrological cycle

This is the Second Annual Report of CRN 2047 covering activities from July 2007 to the end of June 2008. The report is organized in 11 sections. Section 1 is an overview of the project that summarises the major achievements over the last year. This is followed by a section that reports on significant group activities (Annual Science Meeting, major conference participation, and some student support/training activities) plus interactions with the newly created IAI-SGP-HD projects. The remaining sections are organized on a regional basis. These reports vary in length depending on activities by each group to date and will generally follow the IAI reporting format.
