Integrative Approaches Toward Large-Scale Water and Energy Cycle Investigations Posters


Submit an Abstract to this Session


Session ID#: 52644

Session Description:
Water and energy play critical, intertwined roles in the global climate system. Better characterization and understanding of the coupled water-energy cycle at large scale is an important foundation to addressing numerous science and societal questions – e.g. around land-atmosphere interactions, coupling of the water and carbon cycles, and predictability of water cycle extremes. Enhancing our process understanding of the human and natural components of the water and energy cycles and better informing water resources will require integrative and interdisciplinary approaches. This session seeks findings and approaches that combine multiple capabilities to better document and understand the global water and energy cycles, how they are changing, and the impacts of change. Research projects that involve combining satellite and surface-based observations, global and regional process resolving models, and/or the resulting diagnostics and data, are particularly appropriate for this session.
