Our group had a successful showing earlier this month at the American Geophysical Union (AGU) National Meeting in San Francisco!

We were  involved in 4 presentations about our research in Eastern Tibet and  Taiwan:

• T13C-2548: Huang, C., Byrne, T. and  Ouimet, W., 2013,  An Active Crustal-Scale Thrust in an On Land Accretionary Wedge: Tulungwan Fault in the Southern Taiwan
• T21G-06: Byrne, T.; Rau, R., Kuo-Chen, H., Lee, Y., Ouimet, W., Van Soest, M., Huang, C. and Wu, F., 2013, Seismic Tomography Reveals Breaking Crust and Lithosphere Beneath a Classic Orogen
• T22E-01: Kirby, E., Furlong, K., Cook, K., Ouimet, W., Shi, X., Wang, E., Kamp, P. and Hodges, K., 2013, On the extent and significance of Oligocene mountain building in eastern Tibet
• T24C-02: Ouimet, W., Byrne, T., Siame, L., Bierman, P. and Rood, D., 2013, Slow Erosion Rates, Increasing Relief and Transient Landscape Evolution within the Central Range of Taiwan

Will and UConn Geosciences colleague Tim Byrne chaired a Tectonophysics session at the meeting titled ‘Seismology, Active Tectonics and Geomorphology in South and East Asia’ that had 3 poster sessions and 4 oral sessions.  Overall, it was a great showcase for the group’s active research in Asia, especially Taiwan.

 

Our group had a successful showing this past week at the Geological Society of America (GSA) National Meeting in Denver Colorado!

We were  involved in 4 talks:

• Nicoulin, A. and Ouimet, W., River Terraces, Incision and Post-Glacial Landscape Evolution in Southern New England, Geological Society of America Abstracts with Programs. Vol. 45, No. 7, p.41
• Ouimet, W.,  Dethier, D., Mondrach, H., Shea, N., Kaste, J., And Bierman, P., Fallout Radionuclides in Critical Zone Studies, Front Range, Colorado, Geological Society of America Abstracts with Programs. Vol. 45, No. 7, p.409

Will and recent alum Neil Shea participated in the QG&G Kirk Bryan Field Trip, which took place north of Denver within the Boulder Creek Critical Zone Observatory.  During the field trip, Will and Neil presented and discussed several results from their work in Gordon Gulch, Betasso Gulch and  Fourmile Canyon.

Amberlee participated in the On To the Future (OTF) program.
