SUMMARY:Landscapes Live Seminars 2021
LOCATION:Online
DESCRIPTION:<p>We are very pleased to announce our next online&nbsp;<strong>Landscapes 
 Live</strong>&nbsp;seminar by Simon Mudd (University of Edinburgh) that wil
 l occur this week on <strong>Thursday March 25th</strong> at 3pm GMT (4pm C
 ET/8am PDT/11am EDT).&nbsp;</p><p>The title of Simon's talk is:&nbsp;<stron
 g><em>If you don’t like the stream power law, wait until you get a load of 
 what we do on hillslopes</em></strong></p><p><strong>Abstract</strong>: In 
 this presentation I will explain how I don’t understand anything about hill
 slope morphology. I was drawn to this topic 20 years ago because of some el
 egant equations that predicted hilltop convexity. It made me feel like an i
 ntellectual to say “did you know hillslopes can be described by the same eq
 uations that describe chemical and thermal diffusion?” Except they can’t. I
  will show lots of pretty hillshade images of hillslopes that are&nbsp;<em>
 not behaving</em>. I will also talk about other people’s studies that have 
 tried to quantify just how wrong the diffusion model of hillslopes is. You 
 should tune in to the talk because I might say how great your paper is. Als
 o I will show how you can spend 20 years trying to match up topographic obs
 ervations to theory and feel like you understand the system less than you d
 id when you were a 1<sup>st</sup>&nbsp;year PhD student.</p><p>You can regi
