Explore the concurrence of multiple inductions from different data sets, the convergence of academic disciplines, and shock resilience in stressed conditions. Delve into cascading controls, spiraling waves, attractors, and patterns in legacy management and contaminant load-discharge relationships across scales. Discover insights on hillslope and in-stream losses, network models, and spatial patterns of nitrogen yield. Acknowledge the significant contributions of individuals and institutions in this transformative journey towards sustainable outcomes.

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
