Gilbert Club Meeting Register for 2009 Gilbert Club 2009 Gilbert Club Meeting Schedule About
Gilbert Club Since 1983 the Gilbert
Club has met on the UC Berkeley campus on the day after the annual meeting in
San Francisco of the American Geophysical Union (AGU). The purpose of Gilbert
Club, which has no formal affiliation with any organization, is to hear talks
and discuss research in geomorphology, especially theoretical geomorphology.
The name derives from the geomorphologist Grove
Karl Gilbert [.pdf], but the term "club" is whimsical as
Gilbert Club is not itself an organization and there is no membership.
Gilbert Club was simply conceived as an opportunity for a growing community
to hear major talks, debate new ideas, and encourage community level
discussion of issues. The goal is to have faculty, students, government
researchers and industry workers meet regularly to spawn collaborations and,
frankly, to encourage friendships, on an annual basis. It has always
been an open meeting, first advertised through paper mailings and now through
email. In recent years attendance has exceeded 200. We normally have
just three or four 50 minute presentations, followed by 20 minutes of
discussion and debate. During the last hour or more, depending on how well we
keep on schedule, we have "pop ups," during which brief (a few
minutes) presentations are made by whomever wishes to do so. We
have long breaks and lunch, as well as an evening of pizza and beer to
encourage discussion and strengthen communication. Mailing
