AGU Session on Physical Experiments of Earth Surface Processes: novel results and advances in methods, instrumentation, and data handling

From Kyle Strom:

Dear experimentalist - we are pleased to invite you to contribute an abstract to the following AGU session:

EP030. Physical experiments of Earth surface processes: novel results and advances in methods, instrumentation, and data handling

Section/Focus Group: Earth and Planetary Surface Processes

Session ID: 29476 

Session Description:

Physical experiments provide useful insight for investigating Earth surface processes at high spatial and temporal resolution. They are used to develop and test theories for the processes and products of surface evolution, from bedrock erosion to stratigraphic architecture. And the resulting models are applied to tackle a diverse range of problems, spanning interpretation of Earth and other planetary surface signatures to informing environmental management practices. New insights from physical experiments often require advances in our collective abilities to acquire, store, disseminate, and mathematically wade through data. Join us in presenting your contributions to these important areas of experimental research. This session highlights: (1) results from laboratory and field experiments that study sedimentary and hydrologic systems, (2) recent advancements in experimental methods and instrumentation that are allowing for the measurement of previously unquantified, or under sampled, dynamics in Earth surface processes; and (3) new methods and best practices surrounding data analysis, storage, and dissemination.
