Event

SteepestDescent 2016

"Steepestdescent" is a "GilbertClub"-type event, held on the saturday after the EGU meeting (Saturday 23rd of April, 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 3 research talks and informal discussion around your posters + time for coffee, pastries and lunch (all included).

Everyone interested in geomorphology and earth surface processes is encouraged to attend! Bring, display and discuss your EGU poster.

Schedule:

9am: SteepestDescent Team welcome & coffee/croissants

9.15am: Josh West (University of Southern California):
"The imprint of erosion on chemical weathering, and its relevance for the long-term carbon cycle and climate"

10.30am: Coffee break and chatting around your posters
