Seminar - Landform evolution in sedimentary tablelands: patterns of escarpment retreat and the role of subsurface processes

Speaker: Prof. Piotr Migoń - Uniwersytet Wrocławski, Poland | Tuesday 25 March 2025 | 4,30 PM - Arduino Classroom

25.03.2025

In the talk, several conceptual models of escarpment retreat will be presented, with an emphasis on non-catastrophic processes involved in caprock in situ disintegration. This will be followed by the examination of the role of subsurface processes in the evolution of tablelands in clastic and presentation of tools available to recognize that the role is indeed very important.

Seminar - Is There a Bulldozer in Your Model?

Speaker: Prof. Eli Lazarus - University of Southampton (UK) | Tuesday 1 April 2025 | 4,30 pm - Arduino Classroom

Humans make deliberate, real-time interventions into geomorphic processes, especially during major storm events. Existing morphodynamic models are not built to account for active, responsive human interventions. Evolving model platforms may need to explicitly address active human interventions as

Seminar - Weird dynamics of flood deposits in built environments

Speaker: Prof. Eli Lazarus - University of Southampton (UK) | Friday 28 March 2025 | 2,30 pm - Arduino Classroom

Extreme geohazard events can change landscape morphology by redistributing huge volumes of sediment. Event-driven sediment deposition is typically studied in non-built (natural) settings – despite the ubiquity of occurrence and high economic cost of these geohazard impacts in built environments.

Seminar - Humans as agents of coastal geomorphic change

Speaker: Prof. Eli Lazarus - University of Southampton (UK) | Wednesday 26 March 2025 | 4,30 pm - Arduino Classroom

Published in Progress in Physical Geography three decades ago, “Beaches and dunes of human-altered coasts” by Karl Nordstrom (Nordstrom, 1994), has proven remarkably prescient. The scale, dominance, and rapid sprawl of human impacts on physical coastal environments had some traction in the 1990s as
