Groundwater has become an indispensable resource across the world that is used for agricultural production, drinking water supply, and climate change adaptation. However, groundwater overexploitation has resulted in several adverse effects such as groundwater depletion, groundwater quality degradation, land subsidence, seawater intrusion, and degradation of freshwater-dependent ecosystems. To address these problems, water resources managers increasingly turn to managed aquifer recharge (MAR), a method that intentionally transfers excess water (e.g., surface water, recycled or treated water) to underground flow and storage, generating extractive and/or non-extractive benefits.
This session encourages submissions on new developments in the growing field of managed aquifer recharge. We invite contributions on:
· emerging MAR technologies including injection methods, vadose zone recharge (e.g., drywells), and surface spreading methods (e.g., infiltration basins, flood-managed and agricultural MAR);
· methods to characterize and/or simulate water flow and contaminant transport processes during MAR;
· water balance studies investigating the role of MAR in water supply reliability, flood-risk reduction, groundwater quality, drought preparedness, and climate change adaptation;
· the multi-faceted hydrologic, ecological and socio-economic benefits of MAR, and;
· potential institutional challenges, socio-environmental impediments, and unintended consequences associated with intentional groundwater recharge.
We are especially interested in case studies that explore the complex processes, interactions, and tradeoffs to consider in MAR as well as socio-hydrological, water policy or water governance aspects of these methods.

Methods, Applications, and Process Interpretations in the Critical Zone (H098)
Hello,
The long-running Stable Isotopes in the Critical Zone: Methods, Applications, and Process Interpretations (H098) session will run again at AGU 2022 Fall Meeting (description below). We welcome a wide variety of abstracts on this topic. In consideration of the fact that ‘Invited Authors’ systems tend to award visibility to those that are already most visible, we are now soliciting self-nominations for invited speaker slots from early career scientists (PhD or postdoc level) that have published at least one first-author paper on topics related to this session (send your title and abstract to scott...@unr.edu by July 18th, 5 PM Pacific Time). We will select at random among those who meet these criteria. We look forward to your submissions! Scott Allen, Elizabeth Olson, Natalie Orlowski, Matthias Sprenger
Critical Zone: Methods, Applications, and Process Interpretations (H098)
Stable isotopes are powerful tools for studying the transport and transformation of water, carbon, and nutrients. Their use has enabled new process understanding of the critical zone and the soil-plant-atmosphere continuum. Furthermore, new methodological and technological developments have facilitated using stable isotopes to trace system exchanges and feedback processes on many levels from micro-scale processes to region-scale changes. Thus, new opportunities and insights have emerged, supporting increasingly interdisciplinary perspectives on critical-zone processes. This session aims to bridge bio-hydro-geo-eco communities by presenting studies that use stable isotopes to further understanding of the critical zone, as well as studies that advance relevant stable-isotope methods and application techniques. Studies that cross disciplinary boundaries and use novel approaches to improve process understanding are especially welcome. This session also encourages presentations of opinions, perspectives, and syntheses that guide the critical-zone stable-isotope community.

Dear hydrologists and fluviologists,
If you are studying large-scale river processes, please consider submitting an abstract to the AGU 2022 session H033 - Basin to Global Scale River Processes in the Anthropocene (see abstract below).
AGU Fall Meeting 2022 will be held in Chicago and online, Dec 12-16, 2022. The abstract submission deadline is August 3, 2022.
To submit, follow the instructions in the link below:

H033 - Basin to Global Scale River Processes in the Anthropocene
Session abstract:
Rivers are the veins of Earth, shaping its surface and ecosystems through complex physical, chemical, and biological interactions. Rivers are also severely impacted by human activities, from dams to global climate change. The increasing availability of satellite, airborne, and geospatially linked data combined with the recent development in cloud and parallel computing enables us to better observe, understand, and gain unprecedented insights into large-scale river systems. Such large-scale observations can be used to examine current, and potentially new, theories.
This session welcomes observation-based studies that focus on the nature and dynamics of large (basin to global) river systems, including interactions of rivers with Earth’s surface processes, hydrology, and ecosystems. New insights on either the impact of humans on large river systems (e.g., water quality, damming, and channel stabilization) or the impacts of river systems on humans (e.g., floods, erosion, and channel morphology adjustments) are especially encouraged.
