Sediment transport processes are fundamental for shaping the surfaces of rocky and icy bodies in the Solar System. These processes are varied; from mass-wasting on hillslopes, to the transport of sediment in water- and non-water-based systems, to aeolian processes across a wide range of surfaces and atmospheres. Much of the fundamentals of these processes remain poorly understood in the varying surface environments of the planetary bodies in our Solar System: from the mobility of landslides and debris flows on Mars, to the dynamics of deltas and fluvial systems on Mars and Titan, to aeolian bedform morphology and dynamics on Mars, Titan, Pluto, as well as asteroids and cometary bodies.

The aim of this session is to bring together researchers from different disciplines such as geomorphology and sedimentology to stimulate knowledge exchange based on the broad topic of sediment transport processes under varying planetary conditions, rather than one planetary environment.

We encourage contributions based on, but not limited to, mass-wasting processes (landslides and debris flows), sediment transport environments (rivers and deltas) on Earth, Mars, and Titan, and aeolian bedforms under different surface atmospheric interaction conditions (from rocky and icy planetary bodies to small solar system bodies). We welcome a broad range of approaches: remote sensing (geomorphological, geophysical and compositional analysis), laboratory experiments, numerical modelling, as well as analogue studies.
