Transformative Outcomes? http://lgrc.lga.gov.ph/greenstone/collect/strength/tmp/Transformative_Partnerships.html
Synthesis & Consilience • The concurrence of multipleinductions drawn from different data sets • Agreement, co-operation or sharingof (diverse) methods between or convergence or overlap of academic disciplines • Consilience happens under stressed conditions (shock resilience?) • Warning: “Consumption of this raw product may be hazardous to your intellect”. • Let it age! http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/consilience
Spiraling Waves • Multiple storm events (frequencies, depths, etc) • Multiple wetting fronts (storage deficit) • Multiple solute fronts (sources, retardation, degradation) • Multiple sediment fronts (within the active zone; along a reach) • “Exchange” rates & spiraling distances • Legacy accumulation & triggering events
Emerging Simplicity:Attractors & Patterns • “Functional homogeneity” in spite of “structural heterogeneity” • Persistence of emerging patterns • “Legacy” matters! • Convergence to “attractors”? • Mirror image patterns?
CONTAMINANT LOAD-DISCHARGE RELATIONSHIP ACROSS SCALES • For each of four constituents, data for three large sub-basins collapse to a single line. • Slope of the lines is indicative of the “reactivity” of the constituent & land-use management. Bicarbonate as a conservative tracer HILLSLOPE LOSSES SLOPE: IN-STREAM LOSSES
Network Models: Spatial Patterns Nitrogen Yield kg/km2
