Session ID#: 10616
Session Description:
Hydrologic models and remote sensing are essential tools for studying the changing nature of water cycle and accurate assessment and future projections of water resources; however, many hydrologic models do not yet couple the natural water cycle with human systems which have now become the major drivers of global environmental change. This session is intended to provide a collective view on (a) progress in hydrologic modeling including human systems (e.g., irrigation, flow-regulation, groundwater pumping), (b) surface water-groundwater modeling at global, regional, to continental scales, (c) integration of remote-sensing (e.g., GRACE, MODIS) into hydrological models, and (d) application of integrated hydrological models to address water and agricultural sustainability issues. Studies addressing the coupled nature of water cycle and human activities from large-scale modeling perspective and use remote sensing data are particularly encouraged, but abstracts related to climate change, water and agricultural sustainability, and depletion of global/regional groundwater resources are also welcome.
