Building and Evaluating Floodplain Socio-Ecological Resilience
Session ID#: 72393
Session Description:
Floodplains—unique landscapes that link terrestrial and aquatic environments—provide several important functions that benefit both humans and natural systems, including habitat provisioning, biogeochemical processing, discharge attenuation, and regulation of water and sediment fluxes. Yet, significant development has occurred in floodplains regions around the world accompanied by loss of floodplain functions, which has been shown to actually increase human risk to natural hazards, such as flooding. This session will highlight recent advances to incorporate knowledge of ecohydrologic processes into modern floodplain management and resilience planning. Specifically, this session invites abstracts on a broad range of floodplain studies, including ecohydrologic, fluvial geomorphic, and socio-hydrologic aspects of floodplain science, to explore 1) modeling to evaluate changes in floodplain processes; 2) use of decision-support tools to assess trade-offs between natural floodplain services and social benefits; and 3) spatial scale-dependent techniques to investigate floodplain resilience.
