| Scope |
This session provides an integrative platform for discussing and presenting fundamental and emerging research on the soil-water-energy (SWE) nexus within the Critical Zone. It builds upon traditional themes of soil environmental remediation and restoration, waste management, water cycle processes, water quality monitoring, water resource management, and clean energy production, highlighting their interconnections as essential components of sustainable green development. Climate change and increasing human pressures are profoundly altering Critical Zone dynamics. Changing precipitation regimes, intensifying floods and droughts, land-use change, and soil degradation are affecting hydrological pathways, water storage, and energy balance across scales. These perturbations threaten soil health, water availability, food security, and clean energy generation, leading to cascade risks for both ecosystems and society. Thus, understanding these feedbacks and identifying pathways for adaptation and mitigation are urgent research priorities. This session invites contributions that explore the coupled interactions among soil, water, and energy systems in the Critical Zone, their responses to climatic and anthropogenic drivers, and strategies for sustaining ecosystem services and human well-being. We particularly encourage interdisciplinary studies that integrate field observations, modeling, data-driven analysis, and policy perspectives to enhance resilience and sustainability.
