Session Proposal: Advances in Water Quality Prediction (AGU25)

H025
Advances in Water Quality Prediction

Session ID#: 248845

Session Description:
Increasing data availability, process understanding, and computational resources continue to enable advances in water quality prediction. Yet challenges remain to ensure reliable predictions across a range of hydrologic conditions and human impacts at spatial and temporal scales that are relevant to management decisions. We welcome presentations that provide data-driven approaches to surface and groundwater quality prediction, including:1) prediction under different hydrologic conditions and extremes,2) prediction for varying degrees of hydrologic alteration or land surface management,3) simultaneous multi-constituent prediction, 4) integrating surface and groundwater quality predictions,5) integrating process-based and machine learning approaches to guide predictions6) evaluating how models scale in space and time, including long-term projections and short-term forecasts,7) novel water quality model diagnostics or explainable AI for functional performance evaluation, and8) presentations related to the AGU2024 theme of “Where Science Connects Us” that provide perspectives on the water quality prediction community.
