Description:
Natural environmental gradients can provide critical insights 
regarding physical and chemical weathering processes. These processes 
are often revealed by examining isotopic and geochemical trends at 
related sites that vary in climate, landform age, erosion rates, 
atmospheric deposition, or hydrologic regime (e.g. permafrost thaw or 
clay accumulation). We invite contributions that focus on new 
categories of environmental gradients, and contributions that 
highlight new isotopic approaches (stable, cosmogenic or radiogenic) 
to advance our understanding of the physical, geochemical and 
biogeochemical evolution of landscapes across different types of 
natural gradients.
