The Field Tradition in Geomorphology: 43rd Annual Binghamton Geomorphology Symposium

四十多年来，宾厄姆顿地貌研讨会一直是一个年度会议，旨在汇集来自地质学，地理学和环境工程学科的地貌学家，使他们能够交流研究成果，了解新技术，探索特殊主题，确定未来的机会，并加强合作网络。 第43届宾厄姆顿地貌研讨会将于2012年9月在怀俄明州的杰克逊霍尔举行。 本次研讨会的主题是地貌学的田野传统。 与会者将听取论文，查看海报，并从事实地探索，因为他们反映了学科的历史，承认最近去世的一些先驱地貌学家的关键贡献，并考虑实地工作的作用，因为研究人员开始解决具有挑战性的，社会相关的问题，涉及气候变化和地球系统的可持续管理。 会议记录将在一份主要期刊的特刊上发表。 美国国家科学基金会的资金将提供支持，以促进学生和特邀演讲者的参与。2012年宾厄姆顿地貌研讨会将提供一个论坛，荣誉在地貌领域的传统，并探讨其潜力，以帮助推动该领域的未来。 它将促进来自不同地区的研究小组之间的更大的交叉施肥，它将把现场传统传递给下一代的地貌学家，早期的职业研究人员和学生。

For more than four decades, the Binghamton Geomorphology Symposium has been an annual conference designed to bring together geomorphologists from across the disciplines of geology, geography, and environmental engineering in order to enable them to exchange research results, become aware of new techniques, explore special themes, identify future opportunities, and enhance collaborative networks. The 43rd Binghamton Geomorphology Symposium will be held in September 2012 at Jackson Hole, Wyoming. The theme of this symposium is the field tradition in geomorphology. Participants will hear papers, view posters, and engage in field explorations as they reflect on the history of the discipline, acknowledge key contributions by a number of pioneering geomorphologists who have recently passed away, and consider the role of field work as researchers begin to tackle challenging, societally relevant questions involving climate change and sustainable management of the Earth system. The conference proceedings will be published in a special volume of a leading journal. NSF funding will provide support to facilitate the involvement of students and invited presenters.The 2012 Binghamton Geomorphology Symposium will provide a forum to honor the field tradition in geomorphology and explore its potential to help advance the field in the future. It will facilitate greater cross-fertilization among research groups from different regions, and it will pass on the field tradition to the next generation of geomorphologists to early-career researchers and students.
