H046 - DNA Informed Hydrology: techniques and applications of genetic data in watershed science.

 Dear Colleagues, 

We would like to draw your attention to our AGU session:  

Description: Despite the wide availability of complex hydrologic observations, our understanding of many hydrologic processes remains incomplete due to the limited amount of information that can be gleaned from traditional data sources. In contrast, naturally-occurringDNAconstitutes a novel type of ecohydrologic observation comprised of many thousands of features reflecting taxonomically and functionally diverse micro-and macro-organisms and processes. As applications of various types of genetic data, including amplicon sequencing and environmental DNA (eDNA) metagenomics and multiomics, gain traction across research disciplines, the utility of these data in hydrologic studies is just beginning to be investigated. This session will focus on DNA informed hydrology and explore the ways in which genetic data can be leveraged to contribute to hydrologic knowledge, either by complementing existing methods or with new and innovative approaches. 

Invited speaker: Luca Carraro, Eawag – Swiss Federal Institute of Aquatic Science and Technology 

Conveners:
Dawn URycki, Oregon State University
Natalie Ceperley, Institute of Geography (GIUB), University of Bern
Byron Crump, Oregon State University
Stephen Good, Oregon State University

 

Please circulate throughout your networks and consider submitting an abstract.  We welcome submissions directly related to or in support of the use of DNA-related data in hydrologic sciences.  Please submit abstracts before Wednesday, 4 August 2021 at 23:59 EDT.   

We look forward to seeing you at AGU this year, virtually or in person!
