Session Proposal: Saline Lakes: From Science to Solutions (AGU25)

H129
Saline Lakes: From Science to Solutions

Session ID#: 250890

Session Description:
Saline lakes are sensitive ecosystems that are heavily influenced by climate change water resource decisions. Global saline lakes are generally shrinking, creating extreme environments. These lakes often have significant environmental health impacts on surrounding populations, but management of the lakes is challenging. This session will bring together interdisciplinary physical science presentations spanning from hydrodynamic processes to geochemistry to ecosystems and consideration of human impacts of these systems including connections to air quality, environmental justice, and human health. We invite submissions that investigate saline lakes from around the world and work that contextualizes the problems facing saline lakes and the populations that live near them in a way that advances solutions.
