OTHER ACTIVITIES

Coastal Ocean Processes (CoOP) Steering Committee member (March 2005 to present)

Guest Editor for special volume of Continental Shelf Research in honor of Richard W. Sternberg's contribution to Sedimentology.

MARGINS Sediment/Stratigraphy, workshops to develop science and implementation plans for "Source to Sink" Initiative, Lake Quinalt, WA (1999) and Lake Tahoe, CA (2000). This program has successfully initiated NSF funded research in Papua New Guinea and New Zealand that is ongoing.

NEPTUNE (North East Pacific Time-series Undersea Networked Experiments), Scientific sub-theme workshop, "Cabled studies of sediment flux", Seattle, WA

Euro-STRATAFORM (STRATA FORmation on Margins), planning workshops to extend project to interact with European community, Paris, France (1999) and implementation workshop, San Francisco (2000). The program was successful in gaining funding and is now in its final years with coordinated research programs in the Adriatic Sea and Gulf of Lions coming to completion.
