International Workshop of Stratodynamics at Nagasaki University

Dear Experimentalists,

From August 28-30, we plan to webcast the Stratodynamics Keynote talks from Nagasaki University. Each day starts at 9a local time (8p EDT in the United States)

Aug 28 (Aug 27, 8p in US EDT)
Astrid Blom, Stratigraphy formed by river dunes and Gilbert deltas (45 min)

Aug 29 (Aug 28, 8p in US EDT)
Michael Lamb, What sets the size of river deltas (45 min)

Aug 30 (Aug 29, 8p in US EDT)
Miwa Yokokawa and Norihiro Izumi  (TBD) (90 min)

We will also plan to webcast some of the collaborative experiments, although these will be at 3p local time (2am EDT in the US), so we will try to make some highlight videos to post.

Sediment Experimentalist Network August News

Dear Experimentalists,

We hope your summer has been a fun and productive one. Here are a few news items before the Fall begins!

1. Take the Sediment Experimentalist Network (SEN) challenge
2. Follow Sediment Experimentalists on Twitter
3. Stratodynamics workshop keynote talks to be broadcast online (August 27, 28, 29 in United States time zones)

1. Take the Sediment Experimentalist Network (SEN) Challenge

Complete as many of the data-related tasks as you can, then email sedimentexp@gmail.com by Sept 1, 2013, with a record of what you completed.
We will choose randomly from the highest-ranking student participants for support to a future SEN activity.

The tasks range from creating Investigator IDs, to short surveys, to joining NSF communities that are talking about data and cyberinfrastructure. Everyone on the mailing list has already completed task #1!
