Dear colleagues,
The EGU abstract deadline is fast approaching: 13:00 (CET) on 13 January 2016, 13:00. Please consider submitting an abstract to the following co-organised session for EGU next April:
Experimental sedimentology (SSP3.1/GM3.6/HS11.24): http://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU2016/session/20420
Conveners: Lucy Clarke, Laure Guerit, Francois Metivier, Pauline Leduc
Controlled laboratory experiments have always been a powerful means to develop understanding of physical processes. Since the beginning of the 20th century, they have proven to be a powerful tool in Earth sciences too, especially in the fields of sedimentology and morphodynamics. Well-controlled experiments can deliver a wealth of information and lead to a better understanding of the processes at work in landscapes and sedimentary basins. Experiments are also auseful way to develop and test models, which can then be used to better understand and develop field measurements and understanding. However, there can be issues around simplification and scaling when using experiments that need to be addressed. This session welcomes contributions on laboratory experiments that contribute to the development of knowledge in sedimentology, stratigraphy and morphodynamics.
