Session Proposal: Advances in Critical Zone Hydrology through Integration of Novel Measurement Techniques and Modeling Approaches (AGU25)

H007
Advances in Critical Zone Hydrology through Integration of Novel Measurement Techniques and Modeling Approaches

Session ID#: 251180

Session Description:
The Critical Zone (CZ) regulates a many natural processes. Within the CZ, physical, chemical, and biological processes act at different spatial and temporal scales and tt is a highly complex system with strong non-linear interactions. Recent advances highlight the importance to integrate novel measurement techniques with sophisticated modeling approaches to enhance process understanding of CZ dynamics. This inter-disciplinary session brings together scientists to explore how cutting-edge measurement techniques (remote sensing, isotopic tracing, and high-resolution sensor networks, ... ) can be combined with advanced modeling approaches (machine learning, data assimilation, process-based models, ...) with the aim to foster comprehensive understanding of Critical Zone processes. Topics may include: Processes in land-atmosphere interactions, interactions between soil hydrology and biogeochemical cycles, model-data integration, parameterization of soil processes across scales, nutrient dynamics, emerging pollutants, pedotransfer functions and the role of soil information, processes in the soil-plant system, and integrated surface-groundwater dynamics
