Budyko and Beyond: Advances and Applications of a Simple Water and Energy Balance Model I

Submit an Abstract to this Session



Session ID#: 34849

Session Description:
The Budyko hypothesis is one of the most enduring frameworks to link water and energy balances and has found widespread applications across ecological, hydrological and climatological studies. Budyko and most contemporary studies applied the framework at large spatial and temporal scales to meet the assumptions of steady state and macro-climatic processes. The framework has evolved into different functional forms that have been used to study runoff sensitivity, climate and environmental change, specific ecohydrological processes and model/remote sensing validation. Recent advances have improved representation of processes and controls at finer scales that may be more relevant to society and ecosystems, increasing Budyko’s potential across different disciplines. The main goal of this session is to unify a broad audience working on various applications of the framework and further realize its potential to study environmental and human systems. We seek submissions that present advances in approaches, analytical development, and applications across scales.
