H22C:
Centennial Session: 100 Years of Progress in Hydrologic Science II


Submit an Abstract to this Session


Session ID#: 62739

Session Description:
Hydrologic science was in its infancy when the American Geophysical Union was founded, primarily existing as a sub-set of studies in other fields. The last 100 years have seen hydrologic science emerge as a multidisciplinary science unto itself. In this session, we kick-off the Hydrology Section’s year of centennial celebrations by reflecting on the evolution of our discipline. The session features a slate of invited speakers highlighting key advances and changing paradigms in hydrologic science, and the role of our evolving scientific methods and techniques (measurement, modeling, conceptualization, and experimentation) in advancing hydrologic science. The discussion will focus on the difficulties encountered as new ideas developed, surprises, controversy, and the value of science advances for humanity.
