Save the date: the 8th edition of the MARID conference will be held on 12 – 15 April 2026 in Enschede, the Netherlands.
There will be some short courses on Sunday 12 April, followed by an icebreaker activity. The presentation sessions will take place on 13 and 14 April, and the conference will end with an interesting field trip on
Please consider submitting an abstract to the session on Bedform morphodynamics in terrestrial and planetary environments (SSP 3.1) at the EGU General Assembly 2023. EGU (23-28 April 2023) will be a hybrid event facilitating online and in-person participation in Vienna.
To all river, marine, aeolian, glacial, volcanic and extra-terrestrial geomorphologists and sedimentologists, we would like to draw your attention 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 2023, 13:00 CET.
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.

I am very happy to let you know that the Special Issue published in Earth Surface Processes and Landforms following the MARID VI conference in Bremen in 2019 is now published!
You can read the introduction to the special issue
Lefebvre, A, Winter, C, 2021. Special issue: Marine and river bedforms dynamics, MARID VI. Earth Surface Processes and Landforms 1. https://doi.org/10.1002/esp.5091
I cannot believe it is already nearly one year since my last announcement! Like everyone else, I had very little time this year, what with one thing and another, and I have not yet managed to take care of the MARID website. I will soon add all the new publications (we are nearly finished with our MARID Special Issue in Earth Surface Processes and Landforms). Still, I am happy to announce that there will be a bedform session at the next EGU, this time again virtual.
For all river, marine, glacial, volcanic and extra-terrestrial geomorphologists and sedimentologists, we would like to draw your attention to the EGU session that we organise on “Bedform morphodynamics on Earth and in extra-terrestrial environments: current understanding of a complex interplay”. We invite contributions regarding all aspects of bedform dynamics and sedimentary structures on Earth and in extra-terrestrial environments. The deadline for the receipt of abstracts is the 13th of January 2021, 13:00 CET.
From 19 – 30 April 2021, EGU will be hosting vEGU21: Gather Online (#vEGU21), a fully virtual conference that aims at providing a similar experience to the annual General Assembly, normally held in Vienna. All sessions will be in the new EGU virtual PICO (vPICO) format, which offers the opportunity to address a truly worldwide and diverse audience.
We are looking forward to receiving your abstracts and welcoming you to our vPICO bedform session!
Kind regards,
Suleyman Naqshband, Anne Baar, Alice Lefebvre, Francesco Salese and Thaiënne van Dijk.
