H11P:
Coupled Terrestrial–Aquatic Approaches Promote Watershed-Scale Sustainability Connecting People and Water Posters
Submit an Abstract to this Session
Session ID#: 54278
Session Description:
Watersheds, as the fundamental unit of water management, comprise both terrestrial (e.g. grassland, forests, urban, and cropland) and aquatic (e.g. streams, wetlands, and lakes) ecosystems wherein water quantity and quality is influenced by both land management (e.g. land use change and conservation) and riverine interventions (e.g. diversion and impounding). This session seeks novel contributions that couple terrestrial and aquatic processes to advance fundamental knowledge, analytic tools, and assessment methods, thereby supporting science informed decision/policy making in watersheds with varying natural and socio-economic conditions. Topics covered in this session will focus on advances in characterization of processes and parameters regulating terrestrial-aquatic connectivity at the watershed scale, and applications of watershed models to understand sustainable pathways for achieving human needs (e.g. drinking water, food and energy), while minimizing negative impacts on water resources (e.g. groundwater depletion, aquatic ecosystem degradation, greenhouse gas emissions, and loss of recreational value and biodiversity).
