Dear colleagues,
we would like to draw your attention to the following symposium at the IUGG Assembly 2011 in Melbourne (to be held 28 June - 7 July 2011) and hope that this is of interest to you:
HS1 Conceptual and modelling studies of integrated groundwater, surface water, and ecological systems
Conveners: Gunnar Nützmann (Germany), Corinna Abesser (UK), Mary C. Hill (USA), Richard Evans (Australia), Günter Blöschl (Austria), Elango Lakshmanan (India)
If your research is relevant, please consider contributing to the session, which we hope will be interesting and informative to a wide range of researchers. The deadline for submission is 8 November 2010. For details see http://www.iugg2011.com/program-abstracts.asp.
Description:
Flow and transport processes in the surface and subsurface waters have been historically modeled separately. For example, regional groundwater models often simplify exchange with surface flow models, and the interaction between channel flow and the aquifer is often described within the framework of transient storage. Additionally, biogeochemical and ecological processes have a major impact on water quality and the management of water resources, through the important role they play in a number of surface – subsurface environments, like in the hyporheic zone. From small-scale to large-scale approaches physical and biological mechanisms are of interest driving and affected by water and solute transfer between the surface and the subsurface controlling surface water and groundwater quality and riparian ecology. Recently, there has been considerable effort spent in coupling these different types of models and to develop integrated tools, which could describe interactions between groundwater, surface water and ecological systems.
The session solicits laboratory and field studies with a focus on the development and application of novel modelling methods to investigate physical and biogeochemical processes at the groundwater-surface water interface both at rivers and lakes. Suitable contributions include data collection strategies and programs and how data are used to test and improve models. Model sensitivity analysis and uncertainty evaluation in the context of integrated hydroecologic studies is also of interest. Contributions may also include investigations of the implications of groundwater - surface water interactions at their interface for management and risk assessment.
We look forward to receiving your contribution
Regards,
Corinna Abesser
