EP43B:
Ecohydraulics and Ecogeomorphology: From Basic Interactions to Management Techniques III Posters

Submit an Abstract to this Session



Session ID#: 35253

Session Description:
The need to understand interactions among hydraulic, ecological, and geomorphic processes in natural and managed systems has become urgent for societies struggling to cope with the rapidly changing 21st century climate. The result has been a surge of interdisciplinary projects in fields related to ecohydraulics. Such projects have included computational, laboratory, and field studies across a wide range of scales to understand the effects of underlying physical and biological processes on flow-biota-substrate interactions. This session focuses on the lessons learned from such approaches: advantages, limitations, best practices, and the future of the field. Research topics include, but are not limited to: 1) Hydrodynamics and geomorphic impacts of aquatic vegetation, 2) Organism-Habitat interaction, 3) The role of biota as ecosystem engineers, 4) Effects of flow-biota interactions on nutrient and pollutant transport. We encourage submissions that address the challenge of transferring information across scales, and findings that are packaged for landscape managers.
