Excerpt

Predicting how environmental change (climate, land use, etc.) will affect hydrological response and water quality on the long term is a grand challenge in Environmental Earth Sciences. It requires fundamental understanding of functioning of catchments and landscapes:
  • How do they process pollutants on the large scale (natural attenuation of diffuse pollution)?
  • How are processes such as flow, transport and reaction coupled?
  • What is the role of interfaces (atmosphere–plants–soil–groundwater–surface waters)?
  • How can we monitor and model water and solute fluxes across the different scales involved?
