Session Proposal: Surface Processes Interactions and Feedbacks Across Active Tectonic Landscapes (AGU25)

EP033
Surface Processes Interactions and Feedbacks Across Active Tectonic Landscapes

Session ID#: 250443

Session Description:
The interaction between the tectonic processes that build topography and the surface and climatic elements that shape it constitutes a complex dynamic system that involves landscape evolution and response across a wide range of spatial and temporal scales. Understanding and quantifying these processes is critical in unlocking the geodynamic, climate, and surface processes that drive topographic change in tectonically active environments. This interdisciplinary effort, involve studies of various processes such as erosion, sediment fluxes, uplift rates, crustal deformation and mantle dynamics. This session invites contributions from diverse disciplines that advance our understanding of the surface and geodynamic processes and associated hazards operating across tectonically active landscapes on a range of timescales from seconds to millions of years. We seek submissions that span the field of Tectonic Geomorphology that might include, but are not limited to, the geomorphic expression of crustal structures and deformation, erosion, transport and their interactions through time.
