Lakes: their Dynamics, Hydroclimate Impacts, and Human-hydro-ecosystem Interactions
Session ID#: 161717
Session Description:
Lakes provide essential resources and habitats for terrestrial and aquatic organisms, as well as a range of ecosystem services to millions of people. They play an essential role in both local and large-scale climate through the effects they have on different radiative and thermal properties. Furthermore, lakes are archives for past environmental changes, which could help us understand future changes and develop mitigation measures. Lake systems are increasingly threatened by the human demand for freshwater, as well as other anthropogenic activities. These increasing human pressures, in conjunction with a changing climate, necessitate a detailed understanding of lake dynamics (e.g., volume, surface area, lake level), and lake ecosystems interactions with human and Earth system processes at multiple spatial and temporal scales.
We are soliciting abstracts that employ (hydro)climate modelling, remote sensing or direct observational data approaches, or geological records. The session focuses on, but is not limited to, exploring the roles of lakes on past, present, and future hydroclimate changes (and vice-versa), lake ecosystems and human interactions (e.g., impact on ecosystem services), and policy and management strategies.
