Water Quality and Watersheds: From Scientific Innovations to Actions
Water Quality and Watersheds: From Scientific Innovations to Actions
Session ID#: 248324
Session Description:
Hydrologists, biogeochemists, ecologists, and watershed scientists continue to push the envelope within and across their disciplines, generating innovative hydrological and water quality science (e.g., related to nutrients and emerging contaminants) using novel measurement and modeling approaches. Recent advances in in-situ sensor and remote sensing technologies, for example, are generating environmental data with unprecedented temporal resolutions and spatial coverage. Access to these data has advanced scientific understanding and modeling capabilities in hydrology and water quality – including novel applications of machine and deep learning approaches. However, converting scientific information to real-world action that improves on-the-ground environmental and water quality management – and that fulfills broader impacts of federally funded scientific research – remains a challenge. In this session, we encourage presentations that highlight research at varying stages that aims to apply novel measurements, modeling approaches, and scientific innovations in hydrology and water quality to real world management solutions across multi-scale watersheds.
