River Water Temperature: Patterns, Processes, Impacts and Management
Session ID#: 247973
Session Description:
This session will explore the latest research on river water temperature dynamics, including the causes, patterns, and impacts of river temperature fluctuations on aquatic ecosystems and associated with human activities. We will discuss observational data, modeling approaches, and management strategies to mitigate adverse effects. We invite contributions that: (1) Aid our understanding of the factors influencing water temperature, including studies in less impacted settings as well as focused on watersheds and rivers under stress from land use change, climate change, and dam operations, (2) Analyze temperature patterns and trends, including long-term trends, seasonal variations, and extreme events, (3) Assess ecological impacts on fish populations, biodiversity, and habitat suitability, and more,(4) Evaluate socioeconomic implications, including effects on energy production, recreation, and water supply, and (5) Develop management strategies, presenting approaches to manage and mitigate the impacts of river temperature fluctuations, including policy recommendations and technological solutions.
