Coastal Hydrology
Session ID#: 160441
Session Description:
Human and natural systems are tightly linked in coastal areas, where hydrologic processes are changing. Studying these processes is important for understanding vulnerability of water resources, improving management capabilities for flood forecasting and risk assessment, water supply planning, water quality, and ecosystem protection and restoration. We welcome submissions that highlight the influence of human activities and natural processes on coastal hydrology/hydrogeology to aquatic nutrient transport, river and estuarine geomorphology and biogeochemistry. Topics of interest include: flow and exchange of surface and groundwater in coastal watersheds; hydrologic controls on sediment supply and salinity; deltaic ecosystem response to changing hydrologic controls, including sea level rise; impacts of compound extremes, such as hurricane-driven flooding, atmospheric rivers and droughts; and effects of excessive groundwater withdrawals/contamination, and climate change on coastal aquifers.
