Understanding Biogeochemical and Hydrological Processes in the Laurentian Great Lakes Basin Across Scales
Understanding Biogeochemical and Hydrological Processes in the Laurentian Great Lakes Basin Across Scales
Session ID#: 123136
Session Description:
The Laurentian Great Lakes host diverse ecological communities across watershed, coastal wetland, and lake environments. These areas are influenced by complex biogeochemical and hydrological processes that are evolving under climate change and an intensified water cycle. Many of these processes have been disrupted by climate change and historic and current anthropogenic activities, affecting ecosystem connectivity, habitat, and water quality. The purpose of this session is to bring together the community exploring Great Lakes processes across scales: from local watershed and coastal dynamics to regional circulations of water, sediment, nutrients, and other constituents. We invite contributions using modeling, monitoring, and remote sensing to understand these processes and their interactions within the Great Lakes Basin.
