Changes in climate have a major impact on sediment dynamics in cold environments from high arctic/antarctic and subarctic/subantarctic to alpine and upland sites. Climate changes influence the nature and extent of glaciers, permafrost areas, ice sheets and the extent and intensity of glacial, peri-, pro- and paraglacial processes.
In this context major foci of the workshop are related to:
- Observations of geomorphological processes in cold climate environments and
- Measurements and modelling of sediment fluxes and budgets in cold climate geosystems in past, present and future.
The abstract submission ends at July 31st, 2015.
The registration fee of 100.00 Euro is to be paid until July 31st, 2015 (information below) and counts as formal registration.
A final program will be sent beginning of August 2015.
Preliminary schedule
Monday (2015-09-07) – 6 p.m. Arrival of participants at Gepatschhaus (1928 m above m.s.l.), 7 pm Dinner & Icebreaker.
Tuesday (2015-09-08) – Full-day scientific meeting at Gepatschhaus with talks and poster presentations.
Wednesday (2015-09-09) – Full-day excursion to the Gepatschferner and its proglacial area, in the evening SEDIBUD business meeting.
Thursday (2015-09-10) – Half-day scientific meeting with talks. Departure.
Venue
The 9th SEDIBUD Workshop will be held at the Alpine hut Gepatschaus (http://www.gepatschhaus.at) located close to the Little Ice Age maximum extend of the glacier Gepatschferner.
The Gepatschhaus is located in the upper part of the Kaunertal valley catchment In the Ötzal Alps in Tyrol/Austria. Geological setting, landform composition and geomorphic activity provide excellent opportunities to measure rates and processes of cold climate sediment dynamics.
