Please consider submitting an abstract to the following session at the American Geophysical Union (AGU) 2011 Fall Meeting (December 5-9, 2011, San Francisco, CA):
H08: Hydrology and Biology of Stream Networks in Transition Between Ephemeral and Perennial Conditions. Description: Many streams in arid to semi-arid regions are ephemeral to intermittent, yet surprisingly little information is available on the coupled hydrology and biology of these ecosystems. This information is particularly important for management of arid and semi-arid regions within the context of urbanization and climate change, drivers that are both likely to alter the hydrology and biology of these systems. This session compares and contrasts ephemeral to intermittent stream structure and function to perennial flowing streams. Ecological, hydrological, geomorphic, and/or biogeochemical topics on natural and urbanizing ephemeral to perennial streams in arid to semi-arid regions are invited. The abstract submission deadline is August 4th, 2011. Instructions for submitting your abstract are found at: http://sites.agu.org/fallmeeting/scientific-program/submit-policies/. We look forward to your contributions and seeing you at AGU.
