The second Amtrak Club meeting will be held on the campus of The Johns Hopkins University, in Baltimore, May 17-18, 2013. The format will be five thematic sessions spread over two days, covering topics such as: landscape evolution, sediment transport and soil production, coastal processes and the sedimentary record, and response of landscapes to anthropogenic disturbances. Each session will feature prominent keynote speakers, while the rest of the slots will be filled with graduate students and postdocs. We have secured some support from The Johns Hopkins University, which allows us to cover some symposium costs. It is our intention to keep the conference costs minimal to encourage a large number of our colleagues and their graduate students/postdocs to attend.
Our invited speakers will be:
- Mark Brandon (Yale)
- Pat Wiberg (UVA)
- Karen Prestegaard (UMD)
- Tess Thompson (VT)
- Enrica Viparelli (USC)
