A rapidly warming climate has led to an intensification of the hydrological system, notably with an increase in extreme hydroclimatic events, such as floods and droughts. The field of palaeohydrology can greatly strengthen attribution studies and further our understanding of the potential future of hydroclimatic extremes. The main goals of the conference are to increase our knowledge of the global spatial and temporal distribution of past hydrological extremes, to improve the quality of modern flood event attribution, and to stimulate the transfer of knowledge. The meeting is organized by the two groups of Global Continental Palaeohydrology GLOCOPH and Fluvial Archives Group FLAG.

The conference consists of oral and poster presentations both in the lecture hall and in the field. The field presentations are integrated part of the conference and will complete with the new format of a reflection on the visited locations by the participants. The participants are invited to contribute to the field presentation by presenting own findings along the route (cf. below).
