Basin to Global Scale River Processes in the Anthropocene
Session ID#: 158567
Session Description:
Rivers are the veins of Earth, shaping its surface and ecosystems through complex physical, chemical, and biological interactions. Rivers are also severely impacted by human activities, from dams to global climate change. The increasing availability of satellite, airborne, and geospatially linked data combined with the recent development in cloud and parallel computing enables us to better observe, understand, and gain unprecedented insights into large-scale river systems. Such large-scale observations can be used to examine current, and potentially new, theories.
This session welcomes observation-based studies that focus on the nature and dynamics of large (basin to global) river systems, including interactions of rivers with Earth's surface processes, hydrology, and ecosystems. New insights on either the impact of humans on large river systems (e.g., water quality, damming, and channel stabilization) or the impacts of river systems on humans (e.g., floods, erosion, and channel morphology adjustments) are especially encouraged.
