Landscapes Live Thursday February 18th: Edwin Baynes - Hard vs Soft: spatial variability in bedrock channel geometry driven by sediment av

 Dear all,

We are very pleased to announce our second “Landscapes Live” online seminar of 2021 by Edwin Baynes(Loughborough University) that will occur this week on Thursday 18th February at 7 am PST / 10 am EST / 3 pm GMT / 4 pm CET on:

“Hard vs Soft: spatial variability in bedrock channel geometry driven by sediment availability”

Abstract: Sediment supply is a key role in the physical processes that drive erosion and sedimentation in bedrock and mixed gravel-bedrock rivers. In this talk, I’ll show the direct impact of the supply of coarse‐grained, hard sediment on the geometry of (soft) bedrock channels from the Rangitikei River, New Zealand. Channels receiving a coarse bedload sediment supply are found to be systematically (up to an order of magnitude) wider than channels with no bedload sediment input for a given discharge. I’ll also explore this phenomenon using analogue model experiments of a bedrock river reach under different sediment supply conditions, before comparing bedrock channel geometries from the Rangitikei and the experiments to a compilation of alluvial channels. The importance of considering sediment supply when studying bedrock channels will be highlighted as multiple configurations of channel geometry can exist for a given discharge, solely due to the input sediment supply. 

This seminar will be live on Zoom and open to anyone interested (with a limit of 300 participants). You can register in advance for this Zoom meeting here:

  • Thursday 25th March at 3 pm GMT/ 4 pm CET: Simon Mudd, University of Edinburgh      

Previous talks are available on the website (https://osur.univ-rennes1.fr/LandscapesLive/). We are already planning a second seminar series this spring. Feel free to contact us if you have questions or suggestions: landscapesliveseminar@gmail.com

Landscapes Live is the EGU Geomorphology Division's virtual webinar series focused on sharing exciting geomorphology research throughout the international scientific community.

Best wishes,

Introduction to Critical Zone Observatories and Watershed Sites.

  Dear Watershed Science Community,   The  Early career network-of-networks team  is pleased to announce the Fall 2021 Webinar series on  Introduction to Critical Zone Observatories and Watershed Sites . This webinar series hosted by CUAHSI will occur every Tuesday from August 24 till September 28 at 9:00 AM Pacific Time. The goal of the series is to discuss ideas and brainstorm on ways to enhance collaboration and integration across different international critical zone observatories and watershed sites. The webinars will include several researchers from watershed science and critical zone communities. Read more about this effort  here .   The first webinar will be held on  August 24th, 2021  9 am Pacific and provide an introduction to the montane sites across the world. Confirmed speakers for the first webinar include Susan Hubbard (Berkeley Laboratory), Holly Barnard (CU Boulder), Steven Holbrook (Virginia Tech), Antonello P...

Isotope Tracers in Catchment Hydrology

  We are once again running our Isotope Tracers in Catchment Hydrology course, designed as a national graduate level course (accessible to all Canadian students for credit), but also available to professionals. The course will run from May 10 through 14 online. All of the details pertaining to the class can be found on our class website:  https://water.usask.ca/hillslope/teaching/isotope-tracers-in-catchment-hydrology.php   All are welcome, and participants from outside academia and Canada are encouraged to enrich the discussion.   Hope to see you there, Trish (on behalf of course instructors)   Dr. Tricia Stadnyk, P.Eng.
