The Binghamton Steering Committee

Proposals for Binghamton Symposia are reviewed and accepted or rejected by the Binghamton Steering Committee.  The Steering Committee may recommend changes in the program emphasis, speakers to invite to the conference, or other ways to improve the symposium.  The Steering Committee also sets policy regarding the structure of meetings and, when necessary, steps in help with meeting management and publication of proceedings. The steering committee has long-term members, as well as rotating members. 

There is no term limit for the long-term positions, which provide continuity to the symposia.  A majority of the long-term committee positions are typically filled by editors and members of the editorial board of the journal, Geomorphology. 

Long-term members (as of January, 2007):

David Butler (Chair), Geography, Texas State University-San Marcos, Book Review Editor for Geomorphology
Don Coates, Retired Scholar
Larry Davis, Earth and Environmental Sciences, University of New Haven
Carol Harden, Geography, University of Tennessee
Pete Knuepfer, Geology, SUNY at Binghamton
Richard Marston, Geography, Kansas State University, Co-Editor-in-Chief for Geomorphology
Jack Vitek, Geology, Texas A&M., Special Issues Editor (North and South America) for Geomorphology
Ellen Wohl, Geosciences, Colorado State University
Mike Woldenberg, Geography, SUNY at Buffalo

Queries about hosting a Binghamton Symposium and proposals for symposia should initially be sent to the Chair of the Steering Committee.

Rotating committee members are all individuals who have sponsored or who will host a Binghamton Symposium.  The rotating members have terms that begin when their proposal is accepted by Steering Committee. Their terms end at  the symposium two years after completion of the symposium they organized:
