EP13B:
Extracting Landscape Dynamics from the Sedimentary Record II Posters

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#: 17766

Session Description:
Landscapes are shaped by physical, chemical, and ecological processes at multiple scales with climate, biology, tectonics, and sea level as their chief boundary conditions. The sedimentary record archives the past morphology and kinematics of Earth’s surface, but our understanding of the quantitative links between surface processes and subsurface architecture remains limited. The focus of this session will be on building connections – between surface and subsurface data; field and laboratory studies; and physical, ecological, and geochemical processes – to further our understanding of the record left by depositional landscapes. We encourage submissions that combine process analysis, measurement, and predication with methods related to emerging ideas – including but not limited to reduced complexity modeling, network analysis, pattern formation, and geostatistics. This session will span a range of spatiotemporal scales in depositional environments on Earth or other planetary bodies, and include field, remote sensing, and experimental and/or numerical techniques.
