River Corridor SFA: River Corridor Hydrobiogeochemistry from Reaction to Basin Scale
The River Corridor Scientific Focus Area works to improve understanding of the changes in space and time on the hydrobiogeochemical functions of
river corridors,
from molecular reaction to
watershed
and basin scales. We use the knowledge we gain to improve representation of river corridor processes, and their response to disturbances, in multiscale models of integrated hydrobiogeochemical function.
