CSDMS 2025 Annual Meeting:
Exploring Earth's Surface with Models, Data & AI

At University of Colorado, Boulder CO, May 13 -15^th 2025

Registration

Registration & abstract submission will open early 2025

Introduction

The CSDMS 2025 Annual Meeting will be broad in scope, bringing together CSDMS members to present new scientific insights in the modeling of surface dynamics and the impact of time and process scales, new advances in cyber-infrastructure, examples on coupling models, how social and ecological models can inform management, and more. Also, this is the 3^nd year that you can submit Electronic Publications (Epubs); Jupyter notebooks that contain e.g. a scientific hypotheses description, a numerical solution, and some findings that are investigated by numerical algorithms or model, see also: Form:Annualmeeting2025#Electronic_publications_(Epubs). We reserved time during one of the plenary sessions for presentations of Epubs, so don't hold back and submit your Epubs! The meeting will further include:

• State-of-the art keynote presentations in earth-surface dynamics
• Hands-on clinics related to community models, tools and approaches
• Transformative software products and approaches designed to be accessible, easy to use, and relevant
• Breakout sessions
• Poster and Epubs Sessions

Agenda

A draft agenda will be posted closer to date.

Poster guidelines

The poster boards are configured for up to 46" wide by 60" tall (portrait orientation) posters (116 cm wide by 152 cm tall). Anything larger than these dimensions will reduce the space of your colleagues so please be respectfull of these poster dimensions.

Electronic publications (Epubs)

We're excited to announce that we will also offer Epub submissions for this year's annual meeting. Epubs are Jupyter notebooks that contain a scientific problem description and some findings that are investigated by numerical algorithms or models, that walks the reader through the science by executing the algorithms or models. The Epubs will be reviewed and can be part of a poster or oral presentation or separately submitted. Guidelines on what the notebook should include can be found here.

Travel Scholarships

Applications due by February 16, 2025
This year CSDMS is offering a limited number of travel scholarships for graduate students, post-docs, early career faculty, and faculty from minority-serving institutions to attend the CSDMS annual meeting. A number of these scholarships will be offered for the purpose of increasing participation of underrepresented students. To be eligible, applicants need to meet the following requirements:

• Attend the whole meeting (May 13-15, 2025) at the University of Colorado-Boulder, Colorado
• Submit an abstract for and provide a poster presentation at the meeting (this requirement may be waived under limited conditions, i.e. 1st year graduate student that has not started their research, etc.)
• Submit a letter of motivation that states why you wish to participate in the meeting and explain how/if your participation would enhance diversity in the field of surface dynamics modeling.

The CSDMS travel scholarships will cover:

• Registration costs (to be reimbursed after attending the meeting)
• Travel (for US participants airfare and local transport, for international participants up to $xxxx of transportation costs will be reimbursed)
• Per diem to help reimburse the cost of meals from 13-15 May 2025 not offered in the conference schedule
