Coupled Dynamics of Physical, Biological, Geomorphic, Hydrologic, and Chemical Processes in the Hyporheic Zone over a Range of Spatial and Temporal Scales I


Submit an Abstract to this Session


Session ID#: 61976

Session Description:
Hyporheic storage, reactive transport, metabolism, and other processes occuring within hyporheic zones greatly impact the biogeochemical functioning of streams, including nutrient and contaminant dynamics. Characterizing these processes is complicated by both the coupled interactions between hydro-bio-geochemical processes and how these processes and interactions vary across spatial and temporal scales. These characterization limitations of coupled-processes controlling mass-transfer within hyporheic zones continues to inhibit our ability to predict process dynamics and transfer knowledge between sites effectively. This session focuses on mechanistic and phenomenological descriptions of coupled processes controlling fluid flow, solute transport, reactivity, and other dynamics within hyporheic zones. This session brings together investigators with interdisciplinary perspectives used to elucidate processes, characterize interactions, and predict dynamic interactions. Of interest are submissions that characterize the time-scales and magnitudes of hyporheic exchange and concomitant biogeochemical processes, and submissions exploring interaction of processes with novel field, laboratory, and/or modeling approaches are also of interest.
