Topics
1. Methods to analyse complex data sets and system behaviour (data mining, pattern detection techniques, geostatistics) of river basins
- High frequency monitoring: a challenge for new insights in catchment behaviour?
- How do we detect changes of process responses in the environmental systems?
2. Improvement of models by using field measurements and monitoring strategies.
- Learning from field investigations: coupling new techniques with routine measurements: chances to improve 'environmental system understanding' and 'model knowledge'
- Are we able to adjust the model parameterisation according the hydrological-pedological conditions in order to consider changes of the scale-specific dominance of certain processes?
3. Models for simulating process-based response and feedback effects of landscapes.
- Can we derive rules of the system behaviour of different landscape types?
- Is the development of a generalisation framework for unique environments possible that allows the extrapolation to areas with similar conditions?
- Determination of feedbacks and interactions of scale dependent systems
- Is the development of adoptive natural resource management strategies by improved environmental system knowledge base possible?
Description
The observation of water and nutrient flows by using monitoring strategies is used both for detecting environmental changes in river basins as well as for calibration and validation of models. Thereby these measured values are mostly assumed as the “reality” indicating that an environmental situation or a model simulation is either “good”, “moderate” or “poor”. However the choice of the monitoring strategy decides if we are recording or covering a certain (storm) event or not – which affects both the description of runoff and nutrient dynamics but also model simulation quality. There is still a lack of knowledge about which processes (process type, intensity, duration) are important and dominant on which scale and by which factors they are mainly controlled. Other questions arise here about a) the thresholds that cause a change of the (scale-specific) dominance of a process and b) how we can capture or detect interactions of processes. Consequently, it is might not quite clear which field measurements or monitoring strategies are even able to capture which process on which scale. Related to that, there are many discussions about how simple or how “spatially explicit” we can be with our model concepts in order to simulate the impact of land management and land cover pattern on water quantity and quality at different scales. The session aims at bringing together scientists that work on different methods on these issues to bridge these gaps.
