The 49th Binghamton Geomorphology Symposium is taking place from 5-7 October 2018 at Syracuse University, New York. This international conference brings together leading scholars in geomorphology under a themed topic. The topic of our symposium will be Sediment complexity within geomorphological systems. We are inviting abstracts for poster sessions at the 49th Binghamton Geomorphology Symposium.


Overview:

Processes controlling sediment initiation, transport, and deposition in watersheds are complex both in space and over time. Understanding the complexity of these processes at different spatial and temporal scales require collecting and analyzing data with different levels of detail, which may be achieved by using a variety of field, experimental, and modeling approaches, possibly combined with advanced technologies such as remote sensing, sediment tracing and dating, and unmanned aerial vehicle. New ideas and concepts around these approaches often arise from interdisciplinary collaboration among scientists in geography, geology, environmental engineering, freshwater ecology, and other relevant disciplines.


The 49th annual Binghamton Geomorphology Symposium will provide a forum for leading and emerging scientists and graduate students to exchange new ideas and catalyze potential collaboration on sediment complexity. The symposium will achieve the goal by focusing on three inter-connected themes: (1) complex processes of sediment dynamics over (relatively) short time scales; (2) complex patterns/trends of sediment dynamics over (relatively) long time scales; and (3) complex sediment dynamics across multiple scales. As well as keynote and poster presentations, we will use a workshop format to encourage discussion and work towards developing overviews of the state of the art across these themes.


Submission of Abstracts:

We are inviting abstracts for poster sessions within these three themes. The closing date for submissions is September 1st 2018. Please submit your abstract using the following link: https://goo.gl/forms/HJ6ekgFmPLyCyb0u2
