Advancing River Thermal Research and Modelling

Session ID#: 79801

Session Description:
River temperature is a key variable controlling all physical, chemical and biological processes in rivers. Climate change and other anthropogenic activities are increasing the rate of change of water temperatures and potentially driving large-scale disruptions to both water quality and ecosystems. Although river temperature dynamics have seen increasing research in recent years, many aspects of thermal science remain under-studied, particularly with regards to the processes driving river temperature, their variability under future climate change, and the associated impacts on ecosystems and society.

We seek papers and posters that offer novel understanding of thermal dynamics and the subsequent ecological responses over a range of scales in space (e.g. reach, catchment, and multi-catchment) and time (daily, seasonally, and annually) through modelling and empirical studies. Unravelling and understanding the thermal drivers in human-impacted systems will be a key theme. We aim to have a gender-balanced session and encourage participation by early career researchers.
