Catchment studies provide foundational scientific knowledge that is
relevant to policy, resource management, education, outreach, and public
awareness of the environment and environmental problems. Through a
concerted effort to highlight the catchments and catchment studies
behind a rich legacy of scientific findings, we have led several efforts
to promote long-term and place-based research at monitoring,
observatory, and ecosystem study sites. Our efforts have included
sessions at AGU and other professional meetings, a special issue of
Hydrological Processes, and a CUAHSI Cyberseminar series on monitoring
and observation at research catchments that span the globe. In this
poster, we continue to promote the catchments and innovative research at
those sites by summarizing our efforts and updating a map of the
catchment studies that we have identified. Our primary objective is to
stimulate discussion about the vibrant state of the catchment sciences,
the sites that make the science possible, and how to move forward in
coming decades.
