B33D:
Flow Paths, Snapshots, and Fixed Sites: Advances in Alternative Approaches in Ecosystem Science Posters

Submit an Abstract to this Session



Session ID#: 24617

Session Description:
Ecosystems are dynamic in space and time. However, our understanding of many systems comes largely from measuring or modeling at a single location over time; a fixed-site (Eulerian) approach. Alternative approaches include 1) a synoptic approach, taking a snap-shot of measurements across space at one point in time (e.g. remote sensing) or 2) a flow-path (Lagrangian) approach, tracking objects along a flow-path through space and time (e.g. drifting sampling, animal tagging). Alternative approaches, or combinations of approaches, may provide new insights into old questions or inspire entirely new avenues of research. Our goal is to cross-pollinate ideas by highlighting studies that apply alternative approaches to advancing our fundamental understanding of ecosystem or watershed science. We welcome submissions from diverse disciplines, systems (terrestrial, freshwater, marine), and methods (conceptual, field-based, modeling) with a particular interest in studies that leverage data and/or emerging technologies.
