EP24A:
Aeolian Research at the Interface of Biophysical, Sedimentary, and Atmospheric Processes II

Submit an Abstract to this Session Please know the abstract submission deadline has passed. There are no exceptions to this deadline and no new abstracts can be submitted.
You can still search the program to see your colleague�s abstract submissions as well as the sessions submitted for the 2016 Fall Meeting. The final program will be released in early October.


Session ID#: 17653

Session Description:
Aeolian processes are intricately connected to Earth’s climate, biogeochemical cycles, human health, and desertification.  Wind-sculpted sedimentary landscapes are widespread on Earth, Mars and Titan, and aeolian landforms and strata record past climates and environments. This session explores the interactions among biological, geochemical, sedimentary, geomorphic, atmospheric, hydrologic, and soil dynamics in aeolian processes.  We welcome contributions both on these interacting dynamics and on other biophysical, sedimentary, and atmospheric studies relevant to aeolian processes.
