Connectivity of River Network Form and Function Across Scales
Abstract:
River networks are fundamental landscape features that drain watersheds, transport water, sediment, and nutrients, and sustain diverse ecosystem services across terrestrial and aquatic environments. Understanding their structure and transport dynamics is essential for predicting responses to climatic change and human disturbance. In this talk, Dr. Singh will present recent work from his research group investigating flux dynamics in river networks using network theory and cluster analysis, with particular emphasis on how channel structure and connectivity regulate environmental transport processes. These findings are illustrated through applications to several U.S. watersheds spanning a range of climatic and geological settings.
