Workshop Earth Surface Dynamics (8:30 am – 6 pm, HS 434)  -> detailed programme

Responsible organizers: Michael Strasser, Jörg Robl, Sylke Hilberg 

The morning of the workshop will be dedicated to the presentation of the submitted studies and the discussion of the research results. In the afternoon, under the motto "Bringing together early career scientists and established researchers", we will work in break-out groups on research questions in the field of Earth surface dynamics. We will vote on several possible research questions in the coming weeks, but we also welcome suggestions from workshop participants via e-mail (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.). In addition to the joint scientific work, we would like to emphasize the mentoring and networking of early career scientists. The break-out groups will be composed of established researchers and early career scientists, so that the combined expertise can be used to solve specific scientific questions and problems. 

The 25 contributions to the workshop are thematically divided into the three thematic blocks "Mass movements", "Water, weathering and fluxes" and "Landscape evolution" and will be presented in the form of posters. Each of these blocks will be opened with a 12 (+3) minute keynote lecture. In the following short impulse presentations (3 minutes), the poster contributions will be briefly presented with selected highlights. We will allocate 1.5 hours in the morning for the subsequent poster session. We encourage the participants of the afternoon workshop to include the poster contributions and to ensure a lively exchange between the groups.
