  abstract = {{I}ntermittent rivers and ephemeral streams ({IRES}) are now recognized to support specific freshwater biodiversity and ecosystem services and represent approximately half of the global river network, a fraction that is likely to increase in the context of global changes. {D}espite large research efforts on {IRES} during the past few decades, there is a need for developing a systemic approach to {IRES} that considers their hydrological, hydrogeological, hydraulic, ecological, and biogeochemical properties and processes, as well as their interactions with human societies. {T}hus, we assert that the interdisciplinary approach to ecosystem research promoted by critical zone sciences and socio-ecology is relevant. {T}hese approaches rely on infrastructure-{C}ritical {Z}one {O}bservatories ({CZO}) and {L}ong-{T}erm {S}ocio-{E}cological {R}esearch ({LTSER}) platforms-that are representative of the diversity of {IRES} (e.g., among climates or types of geology. {W}e illustrate this within the {F}rench {CZO} and {LTSER}, including their diversity as socio-ecosystems, and detail human interactions with {IRES}. {T}hese networks are also specialized in the long-term observations required to detect and measure ecosystem responses of {IRES} to climate and human forcings despite the delay and buffering effects within ecosystems. {T}he {CZO} and {LTSER} platforms also support development of innovative techniques and data analysis methods that can improve characterization of {IRES}, in particular for monitoring flow regimes, groundwater-surface water flow, or water biogeochemistry during rewetting. {W}e provide scientific and methodological perspectives for which this interdisciplinary approach and its associated infrastructure would provide relevant and original insights that would help fill knowledge gaps about {IRES}. {T}his article is categorized under: {W}ater and {L}ife > {C}onservation, {M}anagement, and {A}wareness},
