NCED: Summer Institute on Earth-Surface Dynamics
St. Anthony Falls Laboratory
Minneapolis Minnesota, United States
25 - 04 August 2018

This year’s Summer Institute focuses on mathematical tools that can be used to represent physical processes for earthcasting (prediction on annual to millennial time scales). The Institute will have a particular focus on landscape connections and how signals (e.g., effects of environmental change) are propagated through Earth-surface systems and ultimately recorded, whether in deposits or the current landscape. A desire to learn is essential, but training in advanced mathematics is not. The topics to be explored will include both erosional and depositional landscapes. Lectures and exercises on mathematical techniques will be complemented by experiments and observations at the St. Anthony Falls Laboratory.

The costs for housing and many meals are covered, but those for transportation to and from Minneapolis and for some dinners are not.
