Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to submit an abstract to the AGU 2018 Fall Meeting session EP023: Interactions between geomorphic processes, vegetation, and large wood in river channels and floodplains (Session ID: 49403). We look forward to your contributions! Session Description: In river channels and floodplains, vegetation and large wood influence a suite of fluvial processes, such as bar formation, channel avulsion, overbank flow, and floodplain sedimentation. Fluvial processes also modulate vegetation distribution and succession and wood storage and transport in river corridors. The feedbacks between geomorphic processes, wood, and vegetation are fundamental drivers of ecological dynamics, providing physical habitat and nutrients to organisms in river corridors. This session will explore applied and fundamental research that uses field data, remote sensing, physical experiments, and numerical modeling to advance our understanding of interactions between vegetation, wood, and geomorphic processes. Areas of particular interest include, but are not limited to, alterations to fluvial processes following removal or disturbance of river corridor vegetation or wood, the use of vegetation and wood in river management and restoration projects, and the effects of climate change on feedbacks between vegetation, wood, and geomorphic processes. Conveners: Katherine B. Lininger (University of Colorado at Boulder), Alan Kasprak (U.S. Geological Survey), Natalie Kramer Anderson (Utah State University), Daniel N. Scott (University of Washington)
Information from AGU: “For the first time, the AGU Fall Meeting will be held in Washington, D.C., where we will mark the launch AGU’s Centennial. A wide variety of events are being planned that will take advantage of this special location that will showcase our science to the U.S. and international policy community, students, and public); leverage the local scientific community, including events with the Smithsonian, National Academies, and others; and, offer field trips to view the local geology and research institutes. The Fall Meeting will also offer more workshops as well as new Tutorial sessions to help students and researchers learn about new approaches and techniques and introduce exciting science in other disciplines. Additional information, including everything you need to know about abstract submission is here: https://fallmeeting.agu.org/2018/. Please consider submitting an abstract and/or attending to help show “What Science Stands For” and to join in an exciting and informative start to AGU’s Centennial. Submissions received by the early deadline of 25 July have a chance to win a $100 US gift card.” Deadline for abstract submission is Wednesday, August 1. Sincerely, Katherine Lininger, Alan Kasprak, Natalie Kramer Anderson, and Dan Scott ---------------------------- Katherine B.
