Water Quality and Anthropogenic Disturbance: Upscaling Insights for Watershed Management and Policy
Session ID#: 161016
Session Description:
Human modification and management of both rural and urban landscapes lead to altered water quality patterns and change natural watershed functions across spatial and temporal scales. Advancements in remote sensing, in-situ monitoring, modeling, and statistical analyses have brought insights into the drivers of water quality. However, properly upscaling these research findings is critical to supporting large-scale innovative management practices and policies. Similarly, large scale modeling may be needed to fill monitoring data gaps in time and space.
We encourage submissions applying models and spatial metrics to understand source-sink dynamics and functional connectivity at a large scale, linking spatial watershed characteristics and resource management to downstream water quality outcomes. Studies spanning small to large extents aimed at understanding human-hydrologic processes along the rural and urban landscape continuum are welcomed. Our goal is to bring broad insights to current watershed monitoring protocols, management practices, and policies.
