"Steepestdescent" is a "gilbertclub"-type event, held on the Saturday after the EGU meeting (3rd of May, this year).

Our objective is to add one day of focused interactions and networking between people interested in surface dynamics in a broad sense. We hope this will serve the growing community of surface dynamics in Europe, and that it will be a good opportunity to foster special atmosphere and good spirit among us.

The day's schedule is composed of three long research talks, informal scientific discussions, plus time for coffee, pastries and lunch. Everyone interested in geomorphology and earth surface processes is encouraged to attend! Bring, display and discuss your EGU poster(s).

Schedule:

9am: SteepestDescent team welcome & coffee/croissants

9.15am: Jean Braun (University of Grenoble): "Density, Topography and Erosion"

10.30am: Coffee break and chatting around your posters

11am: Jane Willenbring (Penn State): "The Null Hypothesis: Reconciling Cenozoic erosion, weathering, and the carbon cycle"

12.15am: Lunch on site

1.15pm: Mikael Attal (University of Edinburgh) "Erosion of landscapes: recent advances intopographic analysis and future modelling challenges"
