T106. From Green Roofs and Gutters to Urban Streams: GSA TODAY | www.geosociety.org/gsatoday
Advancing Urban Watershed Hydrology through Innovative
Field and Modeling Approaches

Disciplines: Hydrogeology; Environmental Geoscience

Advocates: Rosemary Fanelli; Rose Smith; Karen L. Prestegaard

We welcome research contributions that highlight novel field
and modeling approaches to improve our understanding of how
urbanization and associated management practices (watershed
restoration, stormwater management, or green infrastructure)
influence water flow through urbanized watersheds.
