Frontiers in Water Quality
Session ID#: 252794
Session Description:
Water quality science operates at the intersection of physical, biological, and chemical processes occurring over diverse spatial and temporal scales and intersects with water management and governance. Growing uncertainties related to anthropogenic climate change and evolving land-use practices have accelerated the development and testing of innovative hypotheses, observational techniques, and predictive models. These advancements have propelled water quality research into new frontiers across field, laboratory, and computational studies, often bridging these traditionally distinct domains. They have also fostered critical connections between science and policy. This session aims to showcase cutting-edge research that elucidates the variability and dynamics of water quality through space and time. We invite abstracts addressing multi-scale challenges—from local site studies to global assessments—and temporal analyses ranging from instantaneous fluctuations to long-term trends. Contributions highlighting the application of process-based modeling, machine learning, or integrated hybrid approaches to uncover water quality drivers are particularly encouraged.
