Resumo

This study explores the thematic distribution of content within the International Association of Hydrological Sciences? (IAHS) Digital Water Globe (DWG), a platform designed to foster transparent and collaborative water research. By scraping and analyzing published entries across four content types - personal profiles, case studies, scientific publications, and data time series - we identify the frequently used terms within four key categories: general keywords, Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), Unsolved Problems in Hydrology (UPH), and HELPING Working Groups. The analysis highlights that Personal Profiles and Case Studies dominate the DWG dataset, with topics such as climate-driven water challenges, integrated water management, and disaster resilience frequently cited. Clean water and Sanitation (SDG 6) and its sub-targets emerged as central, underscoring the water-centric focus of IAHS contributions. The results are visualized across four figures, showcasing the top cited elements by content type. As the DWG continues to grow, this framework offers a replicable approach for future monitoring of evolving research themes and community focus within hydrology.
