Modelling the climate change impacts on river discharge and inundation extent in the Magdalena River basin – Colombia
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Climate change may have significant impacts on water balance and may considerably influence flooding dynamics of river systems by increasing extreme precipitation. This study evaluates the potential effects of climate change on river discharge and inundation in the Magdalena River basin, the main river in Colombia, using the synergy between the MGB (Modelo de Grandes Bacias) hydrological–hydrodynamic model and downscaled Eta-regional climate model (RCM) projections based on four global climate models (GCMs): BESM (Brazilian Earth System Model), CanESM2 (Canadian Earth System Model), MIROC5 (Model for Interdisciplinary Research on Climate Version Five), and HadGEM2-ES (Hadley Centre Global Environment Model version 2). We used two different greenhouse gas scenarios (RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 (Representative Concentration Pathway)) for the “historical” (1986–2005) and “mid-term prospective” (2046–2065) periods. Model results for the “mid-term prospective” period under scenarios RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 indicate increase in mean river discharges in the east portion of the basin, decreased river discharges (mainly in the dry season) in the upper Magdalena basin, and increased inundation extent. By coupling hydrological–hydrodynamic and GCMs/RCMs models, modelling frameworks like the one used in this study provide an effective management tool for stakeholders interested in potential climate change impacts on tropical river basins.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
