The conference welcomes contributions from research, applied research and practical studies in geomorphology in relation with society, including climate change impact on geomorphological landscapes, natural hazards assessment and mitigation, geoheritage management and geotourism. We appreciate particularly projects and case studies carried out in Switzerland and neighboring countries or regional studies worldwide carried out by swiss institutions. The participation of young researchers is especially welcome.

It is possible to submit for short talks and posters in a Swiss National Language or in English. Since there will not be simultaneous translation, it is desirable to use English for slides.

After the Meeting the Young Geomorphologists organize an excursion.

Abstract submission deadline: 31.07.2019.

Register now for the biennial conference and/or the excursion of the young geomorphologists.
