Debates—The future of hydrological sciences: A (common) path forward? Using models and data to learn: A systems theoretic perspective on the future of hydrological science

Abstract

Key Points: Discovery can be advanced by taking a perspective based in Information Theory. Much can be gained by focusing on the a priori role of Process Modeling. System Parameterization can result in information loss.
