Session Proposal: Advances in the Integrated Water Continuum through Bridging Atmospheric-Terrestrial-Riverine-Coastal Systems (AGU25)

GC012
Advances in the Integrated Water Continuum through Bridging Atmospheric-Terrestrial-Riverine-Coastal Systems

Session ID#: 252806

Session Description:
This session delves into the integrated water continuum across atmospheric, terrestrial, riverine, and coastal domains, investigating both hydrological cycles and their complex interactions with biogeochemical and energy cycles. We invite studies exploring water movement through precipitation, soil-plant hydraulics, groundwater dynamics, wetlands, river networks, and coastal interfaces using multi-scale approaches that integrate field observations, remote sensing, and computational modeling. Topics include ecohydrological processes across diverse biomes, extreme event impacts, watershed management strategies, and interdisciplinary approaches that quantify feedback mechanisms between system components. By bridging perspectives from atmospheric science, hydrology, ecology, biogeochemistry, and coastal science, this session aims to advance understanding of water's critical role in Earth system functioning under environmental change. We welcome empirical, theoretical, and modeling research that applies emerging technologies including machine learning to capture these interconnected processes from local to global scales and develop interdisciplinary approaches for global environmental decision-making, furthering our holistic understanding of complete water continuum
