Session Title: Advances in transdisciplinary research on
land-water-carbon-society interactions using modeling and field-based
approaches
Abstract Submission Link: https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm23/prelim.cgi/Session/188375
Climatic and human stressors are transforming the Critical Zone (CZ) through alteration of land, water, soil, and carbon processes. Therefore, there is a need to better understand key drivers of CZ transformations (e.g., deforestation, poor land management/abandonment, groundwater overexploitation, and permafrost degradation) and the implications on water/food security, ecosystem wellbeing, and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This session aims to bring together transdisciplinary groups to discuss advances, challenges, and opportunities on local, regional, and global scale studies (modeling, experimental, or observational) on:
· climatic and anthropogenic drivers of changes in land use, soils, carbon, and groundwater systems
· Earth system and hydrological modeling considering human interventions (e.g., irrigation, groundwater depletion, climate impacts)
· climate change and CZ ecosystem functioning
· wetland conversion, permafrost degradation, and GHG emissions
We
encourage studies that use transdisciplinary approaches to address topics
above. Studies on new datasets (e.g., remote-sensing) and best-practices for
data sharing among transdisciplinary groups are also welcome.
