HS2.2.7 | Water Ages in the Hydrologic Cycle
Water Ages in the Hydrologic Cycle
Convener: Ingo Heidbüchel | Co-convener: Tamara Kolbe
Water transit times are proxies for various hydrological and biogeochemical processes within catchments. The aim of the session is to present studies that investigate transit time dynamics purely experimentally or via data and/or model driven approaches (like, e.g., tracer-aided modeling). We encourage presentations of new experimental and modeling methods to determine and explore transit times, appreciate contributions that link biological and geochemical processes with transit times and also welcome research on many other aspects of water ages, such as:
• What controls transit time dynamics at the catchment scale?
• How do transit times differ between different flowpaths and fluxes?
• How does transit time influence hydrochemical response?
• Can we improve (reactive) transport modeling using transit times?
• What are the uncertainties in transit-time modelling and how can we deal with them?
