Watershed Processes under Changing Climate

Dear Colleagues,

The term “watershed process” generally refers to movements of landscape components into and through river systems and to the outlet of the watershed. The watershed processes are complex can be broadly classified into specific functions and characteristics, include: hydrology, soil erosion and sedimentation, nutrient cycling, contaminant fate and transport. In various watersheds at different spatial scales around the globe, these processes are being impacted and changed due to climate and land use changes and human activities. In recent decades, modeling and monitoring are being widely used to understand the watershed processes and their changes. There are several challenges that still exist in using modeling and monitoring. For example, in modeling, proper representation of watershed processes as they occur in the watershed is crucial so that the model can be used to provide the right answers for the right reasons. In monitoring, collection of statistically sound data under varying physiographic and climatic conditions may be costly and would require several years of monitoring efforts. This Special Issue aims to seek contributions that use modeling and monitoring and associated challenges to understand watershed processes and how they get affected due to climate and land use changes and human activities.
