Frontiers in Surface Water Quality Measurements, Modeling, and Management
Session ID#: 78338
Session Description:
Myriad interactions among climatic, land use/cover, hydrological, and ecological processes drive surface water quality. Process complexity and uncertainty pose tremendous challenges to developing explanatory and predictive models with available data and existing knowledge. New data and models are needed to predict surface water quality and ecosystem health accurately and robustly at variable time and space scales. Gaps in existing knowledge should be addressed to understand and manage changes in water quality under a changing climate and environment. This session invites research contributions on coastal as well as inland water quality. We welcome abstracts on new methods of data collection and analysis, modeling and predictions, and engineering and management of water quality across a wide range of time, space, and process scales. Our aim is to report frontier activities in surface water quality by bringing together hydrologists, ecologists, biogeochemists, geomorphologists, engineers, and social scientists.
