Invited speaker: Dr Jiang xiao Qiu\, Assistant Professor\, University of Florida\; this seminar is h osted by the Bennett lab\n\nOnline seminar from 11:30-12:30 ESTOnline disc ussion from 2-3:00 EST\n\nDepletion of groundwater has been accelerating a t regional to global scales. Besides serving domestic\, industrial and agr icultural needs\, groundwater is also a fundamental control on biological\ , physical and chemical processes across the critical zone\, all of which underpin supply of ecosystem services essential for humanity. While there is a rich history of research on groundwater effects on subsurface and sur face processes\, understanding the interactions\, non-linearity and feedba cks between groundwater and multiple ecosystem services remains limited. I n this seminar\, Dr. Qiu used computational modeling and empirical data sy nthesis to reveal groundwater effects on a portfolio of food\, water\, and biogeochemical-related ecosystem service indicators across regional and g lobal scales\, and the role of climate in mediating groundwater impacts. T hese findings illustrate the complex role of groundwater in affecting ecos ystem services\, and highlight that strategically managing groundwater may enhance ecosystem service resilience to future climate extremes and incre ased climate variability.\n\nTo obtain the Zoom link to participate\, plea se contact allison.ford [at] mail.mcgill.ca\n DTSTART:20210225T163000Z DTEND:20210225T173000Z LOCATION:Online SUMMARY:Groundwater effects on multiple ecosystem services across regional and global scales URL:/macdonald/channels/event/groundwater-effects-mult iple-ecosystem-services-across-regional-and-global-scales-327589 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
