Frontiers in Water-Quality Science: Origins, Patterns, and Detection of Spatial and Temporal Variation
Session ID#: 159373
Session Description:
The chemical, physical and biological condition of waterways – “water quality” – is critical for ecological and human health. This session explores cutting-edge methods, novel synthesis products, and new models about water quality. We encourage submissions that use new tools and data sets to reveal spatio-temporal patterns in water quality across scales ranging from single catchment studies to cross-site syntheses. Wide-spread deployment of in-situ sensors has revolutionized our understanding of watershed dynamics over diel, storm, and seasonal timescales, highlighting the disproportionate impact of discrete events on annual export. Emerging capabilities for remote sensing of water quality, the explosion in synthesis opportunities, and improvements in water quality models enable new understanding of where, when, and why water quality varies, and new theories to explain these patterns. We solicit contributions that explore these water quality patterns in watersheds across the land use continuum, and particularly in systems experiencing the impacts of environmental change.
