PURPOSE:
Soil erosion caused by water and/or wind is a continuing problem
throughout the world that threatens the capacity of the Earth to produce food,
fiber, and renewable sources of energy for an ever-increasing population. Additionally, eroded sediment is a major air
and water pollutant, causing many detrimental off-site impacts. Erosion by wind and/or water processes
continually impacts the evolution of landscapes. With global climate change, erosion and
landscape evolution may be accelerated, particularly in regions such as Alaska,
where increases in air temperature of just a few degrees may shift large
landscape areas from frozen to thawing and more erodible conditions. This symposium provides a forum for
participants to discuss the current status and the future of soil erosion research.
MEETING PROGRAM:
The
symposium program included volunteered presentations, invited presentations,
and a technical tour. Volunteered presentations were split between oral lecture
and one-on-one poster format. All
presenters provided a 1 page extended abstract for inclusion in a book of abstracts,
as well as an 8 page single-spaced camera-ready paper for inclusion on a
CD-ROM, both of which were distributed at the meeting.
