H52F:
Progress in Large-Scale Modeling and Remote Sensing of the Water Cycle Toward Better Human Water Management I

Submit an Abstract to this Session



Session ID#: 33994

Session Description:
Hydrologic models and remote-sensing are essential tools for studying the changing water cycle, and accurate assessment and future projection of water resources; however, many hydrologic models do not yet couple the natural water cycle with human systems which are now the major drivers of global environmental change. This session is intended to provide a collective view on (a) progress in hydrologic modeling including human land-water management (e.g., land use change, irrigation, reservoir operation, groundwater pumping), (b) surface water-groundwater modeling at global/continental/regional scales, (c) use of remote-sensing (e.g., GRACE, SMAP, MODIS) in hydrological modeling, and (d) application of integrated hydrological models to address water, energy, and food security issues under climate change. Studies that focus on coupled natural-human systems 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 equally welcome.
