Gilbert Club Homepage Annual Gilbert Club Meeting 2021 Gilbert Club
Registration (coming soon!) 2021 Meeting Schedule of Events 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, 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 approached 300. 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 list To unsubscribe, please send email to gilbertclub-leave@lists.berkeley.edu ; to subscribe, send email to gilbertclub-join@lists.berkeley.edu.
