Subject: EGU 2008: 'Seafloor expression of tectonic and geomorphic
processes'
Date: 01 Nov 2007 11:50:33 +0000
From: J.K. Hillier <[log in to unmask]>
Dear Colleagues,
At next EGU in Vienna (13-18th April 2008) we are convening a session
entitled "Seafloor expression of tectonic and geomorphic processes" (GM
6.2) and we would like to invite you to submit a talk or poster. After a
successful session last year, we hope for another stimulating
interdisciplinary session. The full description is below:
Session description
***********************
Bathymetry records and preserves a wealth of information about tectonic
(e.g. fault scarps), geomorphic (e.g. channel erosion & landsliding),
volcanic and geodynamic processes. New bathymetry (e.g. multibeam),
especially when combined with sub-seafloor measurement, provides an
exciting opportunity to combine geomorphology & geophysics and to extend
geomorphology offshore.
This interdisciplinary session aims to examine the causes and consequences
of the underwater landscape. The goal is to stimulate interdisciplinary
work by bringing together researchers who quantify and characterize the
shapes that form the seafloor, seek to understand the sub-surface processes
at work and their impacts, or use bathymetry as a model input. A range of
scales from ocean-wide (e.g. lithospheric cooling) to abyssal hills at the
scale of meters, and datasets from satellite-predicted to multibeam are
anticipated.
We welcome any exciting submissions in the spirit of the session, even if
your particular process or bathymetric expression has not been explicitly
mentioned. Perhaps: Hot-spot ridge interaction; Submerged glacial
geomorphology; Quantifying underwater volcanoes; What stops subduction
earthquakes - seafloor features?
