Dear All, We are very pleased to announce our next online Landscapes Live seminar by Simon Mudd (University of Edinburgh) that will occur this week on Thursday March 25th at 3pm GMT (4pm CET/8am PDT/11am EDT). The title of Simon's talk is: If you don’t like the stream power law, wait until you get a load of what we do on hillslopes You can register in advance for this Zoom meeting here: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZMtcOqupjgvG9e_8EtvoVQbxFfF-R17pPh5 After registering, you should receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting. We will also post the Zoom link for this meeting on the seminar website: https://osur.univ-rennes1.fr/LandscapesLive/ Abstract: In this presentation I will explain how I don’t understand anything about hillslope morphology. I was drawn to this topic 20 years ago because of some elegant equations that predicted hilltop convexity. It made me feel like an intellectual to say “did you know hillslopes can be des...

 

  Dear Cryolist members, We have a vacant PhD position on ice age modeling in Antarctica, funded by the European ITN project DEEPICE: https://emploi.cnrs.fr/Offres/Doctorant/UMR5001-VALLAN0-052/Default.aspx?lang=EN The conditions are good (good salary, cheap subscription fees at univ.) and the DEEPICE students are part of a European network. I would be glad if you could forward to potential candidates. The current deadline is April 5h, but it might be extended. Thanks and all the best, Frédéric Parrenin

  Dear all, We are very pleased to announce our third  “Landscapes Live”  online seminar of 2021 by  Allison Pfeiffer  (Western Washington University) that will occur this week on  Thursday 25th February at  7 am PST / 10 am EST / 3 pm GMT / 4 pm CET  on: “ Sediment supply controls river bed (in)stability in the Pacific Northwest   ” Abstract: Gravel river channel beds aggrade and incise through time via the process of coarse sediment transport and in response to temporal variation in the upstream supply of water and coarse sediment. However, we lack a thorough understanding of which of these (high flow events or sediment pulses) is the dominant driver of channel bed elevation change. This lack hampers flood hazard prediction, as changes to the bed elevation can either augment or reduce flood heights. In this talk, I will explore the drivers of channel change using multidecadal time series of river bed elevation at 49 United States ...

  Dear All,   The Oxford Water Network and Oxford Hydrology Group warmly welcome you to their termly lecture:   Investigating common assumptions about hydrologic modelling in a large-sample approach. Speaker:   Dr Wouter Knoben --Postdoctoral Fellow, University of Saskatchewan, Canada Date:   3 rd   March, 16:00-17:00 GMT Registration Link:   https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/investigating-common-assumptions-about-hydrologic-modelling-in-a-large-samp-tickets-138762372993     About the Event   This study uses 36 conceptual hydrologic models calibrated to streamflow observations in 559 catchments across the United States to investigate differences and similarities in model performance. Central in this talk is the common approach to setting up hydrologic models that uses separate calibration and evaluation periods and a single objective function to quantify model performance. We investigate this topic from multiple angles and show that several...
