Dear ECOLOG-L Community:
As the abstract submission deadline for the 2011 AGU Fall Meeting is
fast approaching (*Thursday, 4 August 2011 at 11:59 p.m. Eastern
Daylight Time*), we would like to invite you to submit abstracts to
the following session:
*H49: Moving Towards a Unified Threshold-based Hydrological Theory*
Confirmed invited speakers are:
Kevin McGuire (Virginia Tech)
Sim Reaney (Durham University)
Erik Cammeraat (Universiteit van Amsterdam)
Thomas Meixner (University of Arizona)
*Session information:*
Many theories fail to explain runoff variation because landscape
heterogeneity and hydrologic connectivity are not adequately considered.
Rainfall and storage thresholds have been proposed to explain complex
rainfall-runoff behaviour but hydrologists still need to agree on how to
quantify critical conditions where catchments transition between distinct
hydrological functions. We invite papers that (i) suggest methods for
detecting thresholds and incorporating them into model structures; (ii)
examine how thresholds interact across scales; (iii) compare
threshold-driven catchment functions across different land use and climatic
conditions; and (iv) address reasons why threshold behaviours might not
occur in certain environments.
To submit an abstract, you must enter the first author's current AGU member
ID and password at: http://agu-fm11.abstractcentral.com/.
