Earth and Planetary Surface Processes General Contributions Posters
Session ID#: 78475
Session Description:
We welcome contributions to this general poster session related to the disciplines, processes, and techniques involving the study of the surface of Earth or other planetary bodies. This session provides the opportunity for contributions that fall within the broad spectrum of Earth and Planetary Surface Processes. Contributions are welcome from a wide spectrum of disciplines including, but not limited to, geomorphology, sedimentology, planetary science, geophysics, engineering, atmospheric science, geology and biology. Processes of interest include, but are not limited to, fluvial, hillslope, tectonic, volcanic, glacial, coastal, marine, eolian, biologic, cryospheric and impact processes. We also welcome contributions to techniques in Earth and Planetary Surface Processes, such as field observations, numerical and physical modeling, remote sensing, geodesy, nonlinear dynamics, geochronology, geochemistry and geophysics.
