AGU206 Session: Marine and Estuarine Sediment
Courtney Harris
If you are presenting marine, estuarine, or coastal sediment research at AGU2026, then we encourage you to submit an abstract to our session, which is titled “Marine and Estuarine Sediment: Transport Processes, Deposits, and Impacts (OS 027)". Cross-listed with Ocean Sciences (OS) and Earth and Planetary Surface Processes (EPSP).
In addition to the talks and posters, we will try to organize a networking session in the evening; as we have done for the past few years.
AGU Fall Meeting: 7-11 December 2026, San Francisco, CA; see https://www.agu.org/annual-meeting

Information about our sediment session:
AGU26 Session OS 027: Marine and Estuarine Sediment: Transport Processes, Deposits, and Impacts
Modern marine sedimentary deposits and the processes that shape them influence morphology, build the stratigraphic record, and have implications for biogeochemical cycles, ecology, and water quality. These impacts are important across coastal and marine environments spanning from wetlands and estuaries, to continental shelves and slopes; and operate over a range of timescales from turbulent bursts, tidal cycles, storms, up to decadal and beyond. This session will focus on processes and mechanisms that transport and transform marine sedimentary systems, including sedimentary geology, morphodynamics, non-cohesive and cohesive sediment transport, and related topics such as subsidence and land loss, geohazards, sediment management, and coastal restoration. Studies may include field observations, laboratory experiments, and applications of models and machine learning. Examinations of interdisciplinary challenges are encouraged, such as the interconnectivity of sediment transport with biogeochemical and ecological processes, the fate of particulate bound contaminants in marine environments, and anthropogenic modifications of coastal environments.
We enthusiastically invite you to submit an abstract to our session. Please also feel free to distribute this invitation to others.
