Global Impact of Non-perennial Waterways: Integrating Hydrological, Geochemical, Microbiological, and Social Perspectives
Global Impact of Non-perennial Waterways: Integrating Hydrological, Geochemical, Microbiological, and Social Perspectives
Session ID#: 158580
Session Description:
Non-perennial systems are globally prevalent waterways, impacting a breadth of critical ecosystem and societal services. This session explores the diverse and complex processes occurring in non-perennial waterways, bringing together hydrological, biogeochemical, ecological, geomorphological, microbiological, and socio-economic perspectives on non-perennial systems. We encourage contributions spanning a variety of non-perennial waterways (e.g., intermittent rivers, ephemeral streams, agricultural ditches, urban drainage systems, and wetlands) and those that explore responses of these vulnerable systems to anthropogenic change. We seek to highlight work across spatial scales (e.g., individual stream reaches to regional/global analyses), temporal scales (e.g., individual events to long-term dynamics), and methods, including field-based research, experimental approaches, remote sensing, machine learning, qualitative methods, and policy work. Our session emphasizes the varied scales and interdisciplinary approaches required to understand non-perennial waterways and their influence on ecosystems and society.
