EGU24 bedform session

Leave a comment

Dear bedform enthusiasts,

We would like to draw the attention of river, marine, aeolian, glacial, volcanic and extra-terrestrial geomorphologists and sedimentologists, to the EGU session on “Bedform morphodynamics in terrestrial and planetary environments”. We invite contributions regarding all aspects of bedform dynamics and sedimentary structures in both terrestrial and extra-terrestrial environments. The deadline for abstract submission is 10 January 2024, 13:00 CET but those seeking travel support should submit their abstract by 1 December 2023 (13:00 CET).

Full description of the session: https://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU24/session/50626

Abstract instructions: https://www.egu24.eu/programme/how_to_submit.html

The EGU General Assembly will take place from 14 to 19 April 2024 2024 as a hybrid conference where everybody is welcome, in person or online. Our session is taking advantage of the PICO format, offering the opportunity for all scientists to present, discuss and exchange their research with a 2-minute oral followed by presentation time at a touch screen.

We are looking forward to receiving your abstracts and welcoming you to our PICO bedform session!

Kind regards,

Alice Lefebvre, Sjoukje de Lange, Francesco Salese, Thaiënne van Dijk and Leon Scheiber

Survey large-flow transverse bedform definition

Leave a comment

Over the last decades, large-scale underwater flow-transverse bedforms have been named by a range of terms such as dunes, sand waves, megaripples, antidunes, cyclic steps or sediment waves. However, it is sometimes not clear if these names are describing intrinsically different bedform types or if differences arise from other reasons (for example habits in specific research communities). Furthermore, the parameters used to describe bedform properties are not harmonised so far.

We would like to produce a reference which compares the different types of large-scale underwater flow-transverse bedforms and discusses how to best describe them in a way which is coherent and useful for other researchers. In order to do this, we have created a short survey to collect the opinion, experience and thoughts of researchers from various communities and backgrounds. Our aim is to write a paper which addresses at best the needs and thoughts of the different communities. It would be really great if varied scientists answered the survey. It should take around 10 to 15 min to complete it.

Conference MARID VII, 3-5 April 2023, Rennes, France

Leave a comment

MARID VII will be held in Rennes, France, on April 3-5, 2023  and is organised by the Institute of Physics of Rennes and Geosciences Rennes Laboratory (University of Rennes 1) and the French Naval Hydrographic and Oceanographic Office (SHOM). 
Scientific sessions will take place in the Beaulieu Scientific Campus on 3 and 4 April 2023 including talks from keynote speakers and oral and poster presentations by delegates. On 5 April a field trip is planned to the Mont-Saint-Michel Bay to allow a convivial exchange between participants. 
The aim of this meeting is to encourage effective communication between physicists, geologists, biologists and modellers to improve our understanding of bedform dynamics with particular attention to societal relevance.
Three speakers are already scheduled to give keynote lectures: Nathalie Vriend (Cambridge, UK), Bruno Andreotti (Paris, France), Jim Best (University of Illinois, US).
The conference is open to all professionals and stakeholders dealing with bedform dynamics. 
 
Important Dates
June 15, 2022:  Call for short abstract (see instruction below)
September 15, 2022: Deadline for short abstract submission
0ctober 30, 2022: Abstract acceptance
January 6, 2023: Deadline for the extended abstract (4-8 pages)
January 31, 2023: Dealine for the registration (Regular Fees: 300 € including lunch, gala diner and field trip ; Reduced Fees: 150 €)

marid.net is 5 years old!

Five years ago, we created marid.net with the aim to:

  • Provide a focus and a communication platform for international research on sedimentary bedform dynamics
  • To share information on tools and best practice that will aid the efficiency and consistency of research methods.
  • To support early-career scientists in their research through travel grant opportunities, promotion of their work and networking opportunities

To celebrate the big birthday, the website was entirely updated.

To keep the website up-to-date and alive, we need YOUR input! Let us know if you have a new project, toolbox or publication (maridwebsite@gmail.com).

You can also sign up to the MARID newsletter (we send 3 to 4 emails per year with all the latest news).
