Session Description:
Land-use and land cover change (LULC), including irrigated agriculture, have the potential to drastically alter the hydrologic cycle, affecting spatiotemporal movements of mositure locally and in nearby areas. The emerging challenges of land system changes from a natural resource perspective are (1) Observing/estimating land-use, land-cover change, or irrigation amount and extents and (2) Quantifying/predicting subsequent hydrologic and land/atmosphere impacts. This session invites submissions that use emerging geospatial techniques such as remote sensing, modeling, assimilation of observed vegetation characteristics, and in situ observations like isotopes to quantify hydrologically-relevant landscape change and/or examine land-use and land-cover impacts on: (i) interactions and feedbacks across surface and groundwater interfaces (ii) Regional climate/drought characteristics; (iii) Hydro-chemical fluxes and nutrient cycling. We also welcome studies exploring disturbance from natural versus anthropogenic sources and those dealing with uncertainty in selection of land cover datasets, statistical methods, or numerical modeling.
