Invitation to submit abstract to the special session (OS10) at the 
Western Pacific Geophysical Meeting in Taipei, Taiwan (June 22-25, 2010).

Session name: Sediment Transport and Accumulation under Normal and 
Extreme Conditions
Conveners: James Liu, Chuck Nittrouer, Saulwood Lin, and Shu Gao


Description: Asian continental margins encompass some of the most active 
and diverse sediment dispersal systems in the world in which sediment 
fluxes and accumulation rates are high. Each dispersal system plays a 
unique role along the sediment transport pathway from continental or 
island terrestrial sources to the continental-margin sink on different 
time and space scales. This session focuses on sediment transport and 
accumulation under normal environmental conditions and extreme events 
such as typhoons, earthquakes, and tsunamis. We invite contributions 
from theoretical, observational, and modeling aspects of the research.

DEADLINE OF SUBMISSION: FEB. 25 (http://www.agu.org/meetings/wp10/)

Sincerely,
James Liu
