Hunt, Allen G.
Dear Colleagues,
We invite you to submit an abstract to our virtual session “Complex Systems Approaches to the Water Cycle and the Critical Zone” at the inaugural Frontiers in Hydrology meeting (FIHM). FIHM is jointly organized by AGU and CUAHSI and it will take place 19-24 June 2022 in San Juan, Puerto Rico, as well as online everywhere.
Session Description: Complex systems research addresses systems in which the large-scale behavior is not obviously related to the small-scale behavior, whether due to issues of heterogeneity, non-linearity, or interactions. Interactions with the hydrosphere and biosphere arguably contain all three. Hydrology has struggled with scale-dependences of variables, spatio-temporal scaling of processes, and a large number of variables for decades. Is there a possibility to unify results and data with relatively simple theories: chaos, for non-linearity, percolation theory for heterogeneity, network and graph theory for interactions (or computer models, which may combine such approaches)? Or are we doomed to a future where we cannot separate soluble from insoluble problems and committed to assigning all problems of high complexity and complicatedness to AI's machine learning?
This session will convene a panel to discuss these and related pressing issues in the application of complexity in hydrology and the critical zone.
Confirmed panelists so far include Octavia Crompton, Rafael Bras, and Praveen Kumar. We would like to include topics for discussion from among the abstracts submitted; therefore ideas, comments, and questions are welcomed, provided they link a well described
proposal or discussion of recent research within the context of the sessions' topics.
Abstracts are due 26 January, 2022.

Sincerely,
Allen Hunt and Behzad Ghanbarian, conveners
