The Once and Future Hydrology Is Whole Earth Hydrology

open access: yesPerspectives of Earth and Space Scientists, Volume 6, Issue 1, December 2025.
Abstract We here argue for a new paradigm to advance pursuit of truth in global freshwater science. Our proposed Whole Earth Hydrology is hydrology that is explicitly empirical and discovery‐based, grounded in primary data, detailed at scale, and incorporates humans as essential.
