We would like to announce the following session to be held at the American Geophysical Union Fall Meeting. This is an interdisciplinary session and we encourage abstract submissions from ecologists. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact any of the organizers.
2009 AGU Fall Meeting 14–18 December San Francisco, California, USA Abstract deadline September 3, 2009. http://www.agu.org/meetings/fm09/index.php EP19: Experimental Rivers: New Facilities, New Observational Technologies, and New Questions New facilities, new observational technologies, and new questions have revitalized experimental investigation of river morphodynamics and their ecosystems. Nonetheless, daunting, and often humbling challenges exist over issues of scaling, creation of morphologically realistic features, transients, and connection to theory. Of particular challenge is the inclusion of biota, both as influence of geomorphic processes and as part of ecologic questions. Here we invite contributions that explore these challenges and address fundamental problems. Reports on field scale experiments—associated with well documented river restoration projects- as well as smaller laboratory studies are welcome.
