Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to present the second announcement for the 39th Annual
Binghamton Geomorphology Symposium (BGS) on the theme of "Fluvial
Deposits and Environmental History", to be held in Austin, Texas
October 10-11, 2008.

The goal of the 2008 Binghamton Geomorphology Symposium is to advance
our understanding of the interrelations of geomorphology and
environmental history through the lens of fluvial deposits in several
key areas, particularly in
paleohydrology, geoarchaeology, and fluvial adjustment to
environmental and climate change. Please consider this an invitation
and "call for presentations". In addition to scholars with primary
expertise in fluvial geomorphology, the 2008 BGS welcomes
contributions from scholars working within
the symposium theme with primary expertise in sedimentology,
archaeology, hydrology, and soil science.

The symposium web site is located at:
https://webspace.utexas.edu/hudsonpf/binghamton (Google key words: Binghamton
geomorphology Austin)

Registration:
A grant from the National Science Foundation is helping to keep the
registration
costs very affordable. "Early bird" registration (to August 1) is only $110 for
professionals and $50 for students. Registration is open via a secure online
Internet site on the BGS web site, or by a "hard copy" registration form that
can be downloaded from the symposium web site (pdf or Word doc).

Field trip:
A pre-symposium field trip led by Mike Blum is scheduled for October 9, and
will
traverse a "source-to-sink" route along the Colorado River in Central Texas,
from the Texas Hill Country to the Gulf of Mexico.

Location:
The symposium is being held on the campus of the University of Texas in Austin,
located in Central Texas along the margins of the beautiful Texas Hill Country.

To register for the 2008 BGS or for additional information please consult the
symposium web site, or e-mail Paul Hudson (pfhudson at mail.utexas.edu).

We hope to see you in Austin this fall!

Sincerely,
Paul Hudson
