Centennial Session: Current advances and future challenges in hydrologic science
Centennial Session: Current advances and future challenges in hydrologic science
Session ID#: 81589
Session Description:
Hydrologic science was in its infancy when the American Geophysical Union was founded, primarily existing as a sub-set of studies in other fields. The last 100 years have seen hydrologic science emerge as a multidisciplinary science unto itself. In this session, we take a forward-looking vision of exciting, emerging areas of research and the challenges that hydrologists will face in the next century.
The session will feature a slate of invited and contributed speakers highlighting key advances and changing paradigms in hydrologic science, and the role of our evolving scientific methods and techniques (measurement, modeling, conceptualization, and experimentation) in advancing hydrologic science. The discussion will focus on the future of hydrologic science, including the value of our scientific advances for humanity.
