The interactions between fluid flow and sediment determine the characteristics of Earth’s surface, from terrestrial to coastal environments. Big data continue to emerge from laboratory-scale grain or pore interactions to remotely sensed river migration recorded by satellites, allowing for an unprecedented view of an evolving Earth. Harnessing these ever growing data streams requires novel hypotheses, theory, analyses, and methods capable of connecting across scales. This broad session aims to include studies that explore water and sediment dynamics, landscape morphology, and/or the linkages between them from a methodological and/or discovery angle. We welcome studies using field and laboratory experiments, modeling, and/or remote sensing techniques that explore the Earth’s surface with an eye towards connecting processes across spatial and temporal scales. Additionally, given the prior year we welcome studies that explore the novel science that can be accomplished when working remotely, broadly construed.
