The primary goals of the workshop are:

• to convene participants to consider grand challenges in morphodynamics, geomorphology, and stratigraphy that can be addressed using physical experiments;
• to identify user requirements to achieve the grand challenges in terms of accessing experimental data and advanced experimental technologies;
• to generate, develop, and frame innovative ideas on community standards for data and metadata related to sediment experiments; and
• to identify needs and explore solutions for data storage and also cyberinfrastructure needs for data dissemination.

The workshop will include a live experiment in the University of Texas Sediment Transport and Earth-surface Processes (STEP) basin.
