Workshop: Global Chi Mapping of River Networks

Date: 

Wednesday, April 5, 2017, 10:00am to 12:00pm

Location: 

Faculty Lounge, Hoffman 4th floor, 20 Oxford St.

Workshop led by: Prof. Sean Willett, Department of Earth Science's Institute of Geology at ETH Zurich

Presentation of methodology for calculating and interpreting the chi structure (Willett et al., Science, 2014) of river networks in order to interpret patterns and dynamics of reorganization in response to tectonic forcing. Examples will be shown, but suggestions will be taken from the participants as to other regions of interest. Sean can take suggestions by email and produce maps prior to the workshop, or give instruction to participants as to how to do this. We can then make an interpretation together in the workshop.

Breakfast will be provided.

This seminar is part of the EPS 2017 Agassiz Visiting Lecturer Program.
