Click to get engaged with WHONDRS

The Worldwide Hydrobiogeochemistry Observation Network for Dynamic River Systems
(WHONDRS) is a research consortium that aims to understand coupled hydrologic,
biogeochemical, and microbial function within river corridors, with an emphasis
on increasing accessibility of resources and knowledge throughout the research
life cycle. WHONDRS seeks to galvanize a global community around understanding
these coupled systems from local to global scales and ultimately to provide the
scientific basis for improved management of dynamic river corridors throughout
the world.


BENEFITS OF JOINING WHONDRS



The success of WHONDRS hinges on broad involvement, and we encourage you to
contact us to evaluate potential collaboration. WHONDRS partners have the
opportunity to do the following:

 * Join a global effort to understand how major ecosystem drivers influence the
   holistic functioning of dynamic river corridor ecosystems.
 * Access WHONDRS-developed infrastructure and methods such as sample
   collection, sample analysis, and quality assurance protocols; modeling
   approaches; and data management and storage that can be applied to any field
   system that is part of the network.
 * Generate hydrobiogeochemical data in river corridor systems that are relevant
   to local science issues and the research programs of individual
   investigators, while also contributing to global understanding.
 * Share locally collected data and insights with the global community, whereby
   all data will be georeferenced, publicly available, consistently structured,
   and easily discoverable.


WHONDRS MOTIVATION

WHONDRS is inspired by the recognition that events and processes occurring
throughout watershed systems strongly influence human society and environmental
health. As a collective system, watersheds provide numerous ecosystem services
such as clean water, protection from floods, and essential habitat for animals
and plants. Many of these watershed ecosystem services are provided by river
corridors. They integrate processes, such as contaminant transformation and
sediment entrainment, with upstream events like contaminant spills and fires.

WHONDRS is dedicated to accelerating the development of knowledge and models
that are transferable across river corridor systems—and using that knowledge to
enhance predictions of the hydrobiogeochemical function of watersheds, such as
fluxes of water, contaminants, carbon, and nutrients.

Perturbations to watersheds and associated river corridors, like dam operations,
floods, droughts, contaminant releases, and fire, are increasingly common and
their effects often are compounded. There is a significant need to enhance our
ability to predict the outcomes of these perturbations so we can better
understand how they affect ecosystem services to society and maintain healthy
environments.

Many existing investments and approaches to understanding river corridors (and
watersheds) are founded on place-based science that emphasizes heavy investment
in a relatively small number of constrained field systems. This approach is
powerful and necessary. But, to effectively transfer knowledge and models across
systems, place-based science must be complemented with knowledge from a much
broader suite of river corridor systems. Cross-system knowledge is required for
the identification of fundamental processes and rules that span systems, as well
as having the data needed to evaluate and inform models used across systems.

WHONDRS was developed to meet the need for:

 1. Enhanced predictive capacity of dynamic and perturbed systems enabled by
    model-relevant knowledge, and
 2. Data generated from and transferable across a broad spectrum of river
    corridor systems.

To this end, WHONDRS pursues measurements that directly inform dynamic models
that couple hydrology with biogeochemistry. In so doing, WHONDRS enables
knowledge and models that link physical, chemical, and biological processes to
provide integrated understanding of system function. WHONDRS takes an
integrative approach because ecosystem services provided by river corridors are
the result of interactions among multiple types of processes. WHONDRS data, and
the models with which they integrate, focus on the entirety of the system as
opposed to just hydrology or biogeochemistry. WHONDRS does so in a consistent
manner across river corridors, with an emphasis on systems that experience
significant externally forced dynamic perturbations. Data, knowledge, and models
resulting from WHONDRS efforts fill key gaps that currently limit our ability to
predict impacts of perturbations on the ecosystem services provided by river
corridors and watersheds.
