SGM Session: Open Session in Geomorphology
Swiss Geoscience Meeting 2016
Time
Venue
1205 Genève
This open session on geomorphology at the 14th Swiss Geoscience Meeting encourages contributions from all areas of basic and applied geomorphology, including studies of the past and present processes and, for example, the implications for natural hazards, the influence on shaping the present landscape or landforms, or the influence of global change and how that may influence the processes, natural hazards, and resources in the future. Based on this year’s meeting theme “Time in Geosciences”, contributions focusing on this key-geomorphological issue will be preferred.
Geomorphologists study processes, forms, materials and evolution of landscapes at Earth’s surface, often in close cooperation with practitioners and decision makers as well as with scientists from related disciplines. Especially in the context of global change, geomorphologists develop and promote the understanding of natural processes in geosystems, as well as the relationships between societies and geomorphological processes.
The Swiss Geomorphological Society (SGmS) invites people from science and practice to present their geomorphologic interests and results in oral or poster presentations (Detailed program and time table). Especially young scientists are encouraged to take the opportunity of presenting their theses and fostering relationships with colleagues.
