Session ID#: 8462
Session Description:
Stream water temperature is highly sensitive to a changing climate. Shifts in flowing water temperature have potential profound impacts on the structure and functioning of freshwater ecosystems. Consequently, future stream temperature dynamics and potential climate change adaptation measures are of major and growing interest to scientists, environment managers and regulators. Given that stream temperature is a function of multiple, interacting energy and hydrological exchanges as water travels downstream from headwaters to sea, this session seeks to improve our understanding of processes and controls on stream temperature in the context of integrated landscapes. The session will focus on the role of landscape scale processes in determining: (1) appropriate monitoring design to determine the role of landscape processes; (2) stream temperature dynamics; (3) probable future water temperature under scenarios of climate and hydrological change; and (4) the potential of climate change adaptation strategies.
