AGU Session H016 - Advances in Tracer Methods and Modeling of Hydrochronology, Hydrologic Processes and Residence Times

 Hello!

 

We will be organizing a session at this year’s AGU Fall Meeting about the use of tracers, isotopes, and residence times to advance our understanding of hydrological processes.

H016 - Advances in Tracer Methods and Modeling of Hydrochronology, Hydrologic Processes and Residence Times

https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm21/prelim.cgi/Session/121160

The session abstract is below. Please consider submitting an abstract if you think your research would be a good fit. We welcome abstracts that cross traditional boundaries between ecohydrology, unsaturated zone, surface water, and groundwater hydrology, dealing with theoretical concepts, tracer studies or numerical model investigations of water residence times. The abstract deadline is August 4th.

 

We hope you can join us at the 2021 AGU Fall Meeting, 13-17 December, in New Orleans & Online Everywhere.

H016 - Advances in Tracer Methods and Modeling of Hydrochronology, Hydrologic Processes and Residence Times

 

Stable, radioactive and radiogenic isotopes, trace element and noble gases are routinely utilized within the hydrologic sciences to quantify subsurface flow paths, sources, residence times and reactive processes. Residence times are an important metric reflecting the functioning of hydrological systems including water rock interaction, biogeochemical cycling, and water supply sustainability. The last decade has seen transformative advancements in analytical techniques which necessitate revised experimental design, interpretation, analysis, and modeling approaches, leading to new studies that will more accurately resolve the structure of fluid transport and solute transformation across a broad range of scales. This session includes presentations offering new insights into the linkages between surface and subsurface hydrology, ecohydrology, environmental and resource sustainability, nutrient and contaminant hydrology stemming from novel isotopic tracers, trace elements and noble gases in field systems, laboratory experiments and numerical models.
