Groundwater-Surface Water Interactions: Integrating Physical, Biological, and Chemical Patterns and Processes Across Systems and Scales
Groundwater-Surface Water Interactions: Integrating Physical, Biological, and Chemical Patterns and Processes Across Systems and Scales
Session ID#: 158485
Session Description:
Groundwater-surface water (GW-SW) interfaces (e.g., river corridors, floodplains, wetlands, and coastal zones) function as biogeochemical and ecological hotspots, regulating the distribution and transformation of constituents transported from headwaters to coasts. The spatial patterns and temporal dynamics of GW-SW interactions influence key processes such as water flow, nutrient cycling, heat and particle transport, and microbial metabolism. Understanding and predicting the complex drivers and controls of these interactions and processes, and transferring this understanding across systems and scales, requires integrating principles from multiple disciplines with novel observations, experiments, and/or modeling approaches. This 14th-annual GW-SW session aims to bring together a broad community of researchers to facilitate a more holistic, multidisciplinary understanding and representation of GW-SW interactions and processes across varying systems and scales. We especially encourage submissions highlighting the role of natural- and human-induced environmental stressors on GW-SW interactions, emphasizing model-experiment integration.
