Hello all, Feel free to submit your abstract to the following AGU session:
H001. Advances and Challenges in Unraveling the Impact of Nonpoint Source Fluxes on Groundwater, Vadose Zone, and Surface Waters: Nonpoint source (NPS) fluxes in vadose zone, groundwater, and within surface water networks are critical to pressing societal issues including agricultural sustainability, urbanization, food security, drinking water quality, and ecosystem health. Better understanding of biogeochemical and anthropogenic factors affecting diffuse mass fluxes of nutrients, pesticides, emerging contaminants, trace elements, greenhouse gases and other chemical/biological agents requires new technological tools (e.g., sensors), new analytical tools (e.g., models, isotopic methods), and new theories. These advances are enabling major scientific advances by improving our understanding of source, storage, residence times, and flowpath dynamics at different scales. We invite contributions assessing processes and mass fluxes in subsurface, hyporheic, and surface waters using field, laboratory, isotopic, and modeling approaches (lab, plot, or watershed scales); presentations on innovative approaches to sustainably control or remediate NPS pollution in urban, agricultural, and forest watersheds/groundwater basins; and on studies that address linkages between chemical, biological, hydro(geo)logical, and/or social factors. https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm16/preliminaryview.cgi/Session13283.html The session ID is #13283. We look forward to receiving you abstracts and a successful meeting!
