Platform and poster abstract Submission Form
The 7th Annual Water Resources Research Center Conference at the University of Massachusetts Amherst will address the needs for water monitoring, assessment, and management of water resources in New England in the face of variability due to changes in climate, land use, population, and other environmental stressors. We invite researchers, stakeholders, and managers of water resources from academia, government, non-profits, and the private sector to submit abstracts in both basic and applied research that address these water resources challenges. The conference will provide an interdisciplinary forum for scientists, practitioners, and policy makers to discuss current critical water research; foster greater collaboration among scientists and practitioners; and strengthen the connection between research, education, and policy. Potential topics of interest include but are not limited to the following:
● Climate Change Impacts on Hydrologic Processes ● Environmental Indicators for Detecting and Monitoring Climate Change ● Climate Change Impacts on Watersheds ● Monitoring, Modeling, and Analysis ● Water Supply and Quality ● Climate Change Adaptations ● Water, Wastewater Systems and other Infrastructure ● Ecohydrology and Environmental Sustainability ● Stormwater Management and Development ● Terrestrial and Ocean Interactions ● Water Systems Planning ● Hydrologic Prediction and Estimation ● Data integration and Analysis ● Monitoring and Modeling of Fluxes and Storages ● Emerging Sensor Technologies ● Water Resources Management ● Policy and Regulatory Issues
