We invite submissions for the following session that will be convened at the 2014 American Geophysical Union Fall Meeting in San Francisco (http://fallmeeting.agu.org/2014/). The abstract submission site for the meeting is now open. Please pass along this announcement to anyone that might be interested in participating in this session.
Session Title: Hydrologic, Water Quality, and Ecological Responses to Climatic Variability and Change at the Watershed Scale Session ID#: 1927 Session Description: Predicted changes in temperature and precipitation are expected to have dramatic effects on the hydrologic characteristics of freshwater systems, impacting water quality, ecosystem function, nutrient transport, and species that are adapted to physical characteristics of aquatic habitats. To better understand hydrologic responses and to prepare for managing water resources in a changing environment, it is critical to understand and predict the linkages between climate, stream flow, water quality (water temperature, sediment concentration, etc.), and biological systems. To this end, this session welcomes observational or modeling studies that explore the relationships between current and future climate and physical and biological processes at the watershed scale. Please feel free to contact the conveners with any questions: Dr. Jason Knouft, Saint Louis University, [email protected] Dr. Darren Ficklin, Indiana University, [email protected] Dr. Iris Stewart, Santa Clara University, [email protected]
