A perfect storm refers to an event in which a rare combination of circumstances significantly exacerbates the event. River science faces a potential perfect storm through the emergence of several factors. First, pronounced and persistent human modifications to catchments and rivers have resulted in regime shifts—a state change of riverine landscapes. Anthropocene Rivers have different ecosystem structures and functions and cannot return to their “natural state.” This new regime challenges accepted river science paradigms, especially those focused on traditional models of stressor—response. Second, river science is rapidly transitioning from a multidisciplinary activity focused on biophysical structures and functions, to rivers as social–ecological systems. The rise of interdisciplinary research not only recognizes the high degree of coupling between natural and human components, but also the generation of river knowledge that is more socially accountable. Third, the application of scientific knowledge to solve “wicked” river problems continues. However, increasingly river managers are faced with decisions in an environment of high uncertainty about what they are managing, and the potential impacts of their actions. The manuscripts in this Special Issue highlight a potential perfect storm facing Australian riverine landscapes. The issue is dedicated to Professor Wayne Erskine; an intellectual leader of Australian river science for over 20 years. Focussed on the science and management of Australian Rivers, the 14 manuscripts broadly cover the areas in which Wayne made his greatest contributions: river processes and management. Each has a strong foundation in theory and has application in helping to solve some of the complex problems faced by Australia's river managers across a range of spatial and temporal scales.

河流景观,水资源开发与管理:从下面看

一场完美的风暴是指一种事件,在这种事件中,罕见的情况严重加剧了该事件。由于若干因素的出现,河流科学面临着一场潜在的完美风暴。首先,人类对集水区和河流的明显而持续的改造导致了政权的转变-河流景观的状态变化。人类世河流具有不同的生态系统结构和功能,无法恢复其“自然状态”。这一新制度挑战了公认的河流科学范式,尤其是那些侧重于传统的压力源-响应模型的科学范式。其次,河流科学正在迅速从专注于生物物理结构和功能的多学科活动过渡到作为社会生态系统的河流。跨学科研究的兴起不仅认识到自然与人类组成部分之间的高度耦合,而且认识到对河道知识的产生更具社会责任感。第三,继续运用科学知识解决“邪恶的”河流问题。然而,越来越多的河流管理者在不确定的环境下面临着决策,这些决策涉及他们所管理的内容及其行为的潜在影响。本期特刊中的手稿强调了澳大利亚河道地区面临的潜在的完美风暴。本期专门讨论韦恩·厄斯金教授。20多年来,他是澳大利亚河流科学的知识领袖。14篇手稿着重于澳大利亚河流的科学和管理,广泛涵盖了韦恩做出最大贡献的领域:河流流程和管理。每一种都具有强大的理论基础,并可以帮助解决澳大利亚河流管理者在各种时空尺度上面临的一些复杂问题。
