Bridging the Fresh/Salty Divide: Bringing together freshwater and marine research to advance the aquatic sciences.

Session ID#: 253218

Session Description:
While the fields of limnology and oceanography are closely related, individuals working in inland and marine ecosystems rarely find themselves in conversation with one another. This disconnect results in systematically siloed research efforts and challenges in communicating across disciplines, hampering advancements in both fields. In order to provide a formal platform for knowledge exchange across the Fresh/Salty divide, we invite submissions centered on freshwater systems with translatable findings to marine environments, marine and oceanographic research which may have implications for our understanding of inland waters, and/or studies spanning across a salinity gradient. Any work broadly related to biogeochemistry, ecology, and microbial processes and community composition in the context of global changes and/or anthropogenic impacts is welcome. This research can include studies based on empirical observations whether field- or laboratory-based, theoretical work, methods development, and/or modeling. Towards the goal of facilitating conversation and discussion, we encourage the submission of research at all stages (from preliminary results to completed projects) from researchers and practitioners at all career stages. A paired session will follow at ASLO-SIL in May 2026.
