Resilience and Bio-Geomorphic Systems: The 48th Annual Binghamton Geomorphology Symposium

弹性思维是一个迅速兴起的概念，正被用于框架科学家如何接近生物物理系统的研究。它还试图确定如何管理社会、经济和生物物理系统以确保复原力；也就是说，如何保持系统吸收干扰的能力。地貌学（塑造地球景观的生物物理过程）的科学学科与复原力的概念之间有很强的重叠。然而，人们缺乏对复原力出现时前者的基础的认识。因此，弹性在生物地貌系统中的应用是有限的。对生物地貌系统和恢复力的集体研究将在概念上推进这两个研究领域，并进一步巩固理解生物地貌系统复杂性在新兴的跨学科研究领域的相关性和重要性。第48届年度宾厄姆顿地貌学研讨会（BGS）的弹性和生物地貌系统将汇集领先的和新兴的科学家在生物地貌学和弹性思维。会议将围绕生物地貌系统与弹性相互作用的相关主题进行组织：(1)地貌系统基础与弹性思维；(2)极端事件、阈值和弹性；(3)跨尺度相互作用；(4)纵向弹性：从山脉到海岸；(5)生态-地质联系；(6)社会生态系统。所有口头提交的论文和在英国地质调查局以海报形式提交的论文将在国际公认的地貌学杂志上发表。与往届英国地质调查局建立的传统保持一致，2017年会议将促进和加强学生教育和参与。

Resilience thinking is a rapidly emerging concept that is being used to frame how scientists approach the study of biophysical systems. It also seeks to determine how societies, economies and biophysical systems can be managed to ensure resilience; that is, how to maintain the capacity of a system to absorb disturbance. There are strong overlaps between the scientific discipline of geomorphology (the biophysical processes that shape Earth's landscapes) and the concept of resilience. There is however a lack of awareness of the foundations of the former in the emergence of resilience. Thus, resilience is limited and limiting in its application to bio-geomorphic systems. A collective examination of bio-geomorphic systems and resilience will conceptually advance both areas of study and further cement the relevance and importance of understanding the complexities of bio-geomorphic systems in an emerging world of interdisciplinary research endeavors. The 48th annual Binghamton Geomorphology Symposium (BGS) on Resilience and Bio-Geomorphic Systems will bring together leading and emerging scientists in bio-geomorphology and resilience thinking. The meeting will be organized around themes related to interactions between bio-geomorphic systems and resilience: (1) Foundations in geomorphic systems and resilience thinking; (2) Extreme events, thresholds, and resilience; (3) Cross-scale interactions; (4) Longitudinal resilience: mountains to coasts; (5) Eco-geo connections; and (6) Social-ecological systems. All papers presented orally and selected papers presented as posters at the BGS are published in the internationally recognized journal Geomorphology. In keeping with the tradition established by past BGS, the 2017 meeting will promote and enhance student education and participation.
