[Aqualist] IGC session - Landscape response to climate change: quantifying present and ancient rates of Earth-surface processes

[Anthony Dosseto]

Dear all,

Apologies for cross-posting.

I would like to invite you to submit an abstract to the following session I will be co-chairing with Arjun Heimsath at the upcoming International Geological Congress in Brisbane (5-10 August). The deadline for abstract submission is the 26th of February.

29.1 Landscape response to climate change: quantifying present and ancient rates of Earth-surface processes

Landscape diversity is the result of Earth surface's response to external forcings such as climate variability, tectonic and/or human activity. To understand this response, quantifying the rates of geomorphic processes is critical. This session explores methods that provide such quantifications, including (but not limited to) cosmogenic and uranium-series isotopes,
luminescence dating, thermochronometry, isotope geochemistry or geochemical mass-balances. The focus is brought on techniques quantifying present-day surface processes but also on methods that allow us to re-construct their past variations, such as palaeo-erosion rates or stable-isotope proxies.

Keynote speaker: Paul BIERMAN

Thanks,

Tony
