Scope Isotope hydrology is currently being applied across diverse disciplines, including limnology, geochemistry, geomorphology, volcanology, meteorology, agriculture, forestry, civil engineering, sanitary engineering, ecology, and soil science, and it elucidates the terrestrial water cycle and associated material cycle in the atmosphere, hydrosphere, and lithosphere. This session aims to share the latest results on isotope hydrology and links research activities across the different disciplines organically and transversally. Expected outcomes of this session are the discovery of new isotope tracers, the development of new research areas, and the return of research results to society. Not limited to study that utilizes isotopes, presentations based on general water quality or trace elements are also welcomed if it has the potential to contribute to or extend to water and material cycle studies.
