From water to waterscape: multi-scale processes across wetlands and waterbodies

Co-organized by BG4

Convener: Nandita Basu | Co-conveners: Zhaoyang LuoECSECS, Weijia WangECSECS, Haoran ShiECSECS, Kim Van Meter

Waterscapes are connected networks of waterbodies, wetlands and surrounding terrestrial environments, linked by surface and subsurface flows that shape coupled processes across scales. They provide critical ecosystem services, including hydrological regulation, nutrient retention, carbon sequestration and biodiversity support. This session explores physical, biogeochemical and ecological processes in waterscapes from local to regional scales. We welcome contributions examining these processes in inland and coastal waters and wetlands, as well as studies assessing associated ecosystem services. We aim to foster interdisciplinary exchange among researchers using diverse approaches (e.g., remote sensing, modelling and field observations) across hydrology, ecology, biogeochemistry and the social sciences.
