Synthesis Consilience

• The concurrence of multiple inductions drawn
  from different data sets
• Agreement, co-operation or sharing of (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!

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 SimplicityAttractors 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.
