Subsurface Hydrology : Data Integration for Properties and Processes

Published by the American Geophysical Union as part of the Geophysical Monograph Series, Volume 171.Groundwater is a critical resource and the PrinciPal source of drinking water for over 1.5 billion people.

In 2001, the National Research Council cited as a "grand challenge" our need to understand the processes that control water movement in the subsurface.

This volume faces that challenge in terms of data integration between complex, multi-scale hydrologie processes, and their links to other physical, chemical, and biological processes at multiple scales."Subsurface Hydrology: Data Integration for Properties and Processes" presents the current state of the science in four aspects: Approaches to hydrologie data integrationData integration for characterization of hydrologie propertiesData integration for understanding hydrologie processesMeta-analysis of current interpretationsScientists and researchers in the field, the laboratory, and the classroom will find this work an important resource in advancing our understanding of subsurface water movement.
