Catchment and Critical Zone Science – Understanding Ecosystems Through Monitoring, Analysis, and Experimentation II Oral

Catchment, critical zone, and ecosystem studies are foundational to hydrological and biogeochemical process understanding. These place-based studies with sustained monitoring have shaped our understanding of fundamental processes and consequences of environmental change on ecosystems. They also inform environmental policy and lead to transformative ideas that advance science and benefit society. In this session we seek contributions that synthesize hydrologic and biogeochemical findings and concepts, including across sites and over time. We encourage contributions from catchment, critical zone, and observatory studies, particularly research programs that are crucial to scientific discovery, resource management, shaping policy, or promoting societal well-being.
