Tiny Grants for AGU Fall Meeting 2021
The Ecohydrology Technical Committee with the support of the Hydrology Section of the American Geophysical Union is happy to announce the renewal of its “Tiny Grant” program to support early-career scientists attending the AGU Fall Meeting 2020. The necessity to financially support early-career scientists attending the Fall Meeting was one of the main takeaways from the Ecohydrology early-career subcommittee 2019 survey. The survey gathered answers from close to 50 ecohydrologists to understand how the Ecohydrology Technical Committee could improve the Fall Meeting experience of early-career scientists.
The $1000 award budget will be equally split between 4 to 10 recipients (depending on the number and the quality of the applications) to help provide financial support with costs associated with attending the meeting. Applicants must be graduate students or early-career scientists (less than 10 years since PhD graduation) working in the field of ecohydrology to apply.
Congratulations to the recipients of the 2021 Ecohydrology Tiny Grants!

Ecohydrology at Frontiers in Hydrology 2022
Abstracts due Wednesday, 26 January 2022 at 23:59 EST (submit here)
We have compiled together a list of ecohydrology relevant sessions to make your FIHM22 program planning a little easier. If you feel like we've missed one or would like us to add your session, please let us know! (To add a session to this list, please email session information to kagawa@hawaii.edu)
Frontiers in Ecohydrology (Session 142953)
Theme: Projecting the future
Ecohydrology is the study of the interactions between water and ecosystems. As the climate changes, so do water resources, leading to sometimes drastic shifts for these ecosystems, shifts that might in turn feed back onto the climate system. The interdisciplinary nature of the field is bringing ecohydrology at the forefront of our efforts to understand the future of our planet. This session, supported by the Ecohydrology Technical Committee, is intended to highlight new and future directions in the field of ecohydrology. We aim to bring together general contributions, with a special focus on new datasets and cutting-edge methods. We specifically encourage contributions from research in the Caribbean and/or focused on extreme events in the tropics.
Achieving Open and Equitable Collaboration in Global Ecohydrology (Session 143037)
Theme: Supporting environmental justice and equity
As global science is accelerated by faster science communication, easier travels, and international collaborations, large inequalities across the world still plague the science community, be it through the repartition of study sites, the country of origin of principal investigators, or the incorporation of local and indigenous knowledge into the scientific process. Ecohydrology studies the interaction between hydrology and ecosystems and how these interactions might be evolving as our climate changes. Our field therefore greatly benefits from studying a wide variety of places with the direct contribution of local scientists. This panel session, supported by the Ecohydrology Technical Committee, will bring together scientists from across the world to discuss the next frontiers in ecohydrology in their location and best practices to establish and nurture international collaborations, including embedding local and indigenous knowledge into the scientific process.
From plant to ecosystem-scale: leveraging ground, drone, airborne, and satellite observations to understand ecohydrological processes in tropics (Session 143040)
Theme: Learning from observations
In tropical regions, global demands for food and services are shifting ecohydrological functions (i.e., interactions between hydrological and biological systems) that affect water dynamics and availability. An in-depth understanding of these functions has been limited by a lack of publicly available data and long-term monitoring networks. Incorporating multi-source datasets (e.g., ground observations including those based on citizen science strategies, UAV/airborne/satellite data) into ecohydrology are key to study the consequences of changes associated with ecohydrological processes at the ecosystem scale. This session welcomes submissions exploring methods that combine different datasets to address questions related to ecohydrology. Specifically, we welcome contributions that focus on: i) using multiple datasets to improve the understanding of dominant water-ecosystem interactions in tropical environments; ii) employing remote sensing data to improve hydrological model simulations of ecohydrological processes; and iii) address land changes and their impacts in hydrological functions.
