Water Quality and Watersheds: From Scientific Innovations to Actions

Session ID#: 76161

Session Description:
Hydrologists, biogeochemists, ecologists, and watershed scientists continue to push the envelope within and across their disciplines, generating innovative hydrological and water quality science (e.g., related to nutrients and emerging contaminants) using novel measurement and modeling approaches. Recent advances in in-situ sensor and remote sensing technologies, for example, are generating “big” environmental data with unprecedented temporal resolution and spatial coverage. Access to these data streams has provided strides in scientific understanding and modeling capabilities. However, converting scientific information to real-world action that contributes to improved on-the-ground environmental and water quality management, and fulfills broader impacts of federally funded scientific research, remains a challenge. In this session, we encourage presentations that highlight research at varying stages that aims to apply novel measurements, models, and scientific innovations in hydrology and water quality to real world management solutions across multi-scale watersheds.
