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

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

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.
