Session Proposal: Modeling and Untangling Atmosphere-Hydrology-Ecology Interactions through Extreme Events (AGU25)

A074
Modeling and Untangling Atmosphere-Hydrology-Ecology Interactions through Extreme Events

Session ID#: 252599

Session Description:
Exacerbated extreme events under a warming climate are heightening the risks to hydrologic and ecologic processes. Currently, there is a growing recognition of the pivotal role played by hydro- and eco-systems in modulating these extreme events. Untangling the intricate interactions among atmosphere, hydrology, and ecology is crucial to advancing our understanding of extreme events and their trajectories in a changing environment. This session invites studies that endeavor to address the following fundamental questions:•How do hydrologic and ecologic systems respond to extreme events within the context of a changing environment? •How do hydrologic and ecologic processes alter the atmosphere and influence the occurrence and impact of extreme events?•What are the specific mechanisms underlying the interplay among atmosphere, hydrology, and ecology in extreme events? And how are they going to change in the future?•How do predictive models currently capture the complexity of hydrologic-ecological feedback during extreme climate events?
