Data-Driven Ecohydrology: Monitoring, Modeling, and Mitigating Seawater Intrusion, Compound Flooding, and Soil Salinization in Coastal Wetlands
Session ID#: 247927
Session Description:
This session focuses on integrated approaches to address the growing challenges in coastal regions posed by seawater intrusion, compound flooding, and soil salinization. We welcome contributions that highlight knowledge-guided machine learning, advanced in situ sensors, remote sensing, and big geospatial data to improve our understanding of coastal ecohydrology, particularly in wetlands and reclaimed saline soils. By combining novel data-fusion techniques with cutting-edge process-based research, we aim to enhance predictive capabilities and inform sustainable natural resource management strategies. Submissions featuring interdisciplinary studies, as well as new methodological developments, are encouraged.
