[CIG-LONG] AGU session on coupling between tectonic and surface processes

[Phaedra Upton]

Dear Colleagues

We would like to bring to your attention and encourage you to submit an 
abstract to a special session at the Fall AGU Meeting.

EP009. Exploring the interplay between solid Earth tectonics and surface 
processes from mountains to the sea 

Understanding the feedbacks between tectonics, surface processes and 
landscape evolution requires integrating observations and processes across 
a wide range of scales. The Earth’s surface is a complex and dynamic 
system responding to tectonic and geomorphic drivers whose influence 
varies over several orders of magnitude. Surface processes can in turn 
influence fault evolution, uplift/subsidence patterns and surface heat 
flow that feeds back on topography that can drive geomorphic agents. This 
session sets out to explore current research into coupled problems of 
geomorphology, surface processes and geodynamics. We welcome contributions 
utilizing field, experimental and numerical approaches.

Invited presenters:
Peter Koons (University of Maine, Orono)
Becky Dorsey (University of Oregon, Eugene)
Vincent Strak (Monash University, Melbourne)

Convenors:
Phaedra Upton (GNS Science, New Zealand, p.upton at gns.cri.nz)
Mark Behn (Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, mbehn at whoi.edu)
John Jaeger (University of Florida, jmjaeger at ufl.edu)

Regards
Phaedra, Mark and John
