At annual meetings, in combination with a field trip, ongoing research activities of its members are presented and current issues of a particular geomorphological interest are discussed. Considering the special interest of its members and in response to the present day problems and the science politics the Swiss Geomorphological Society emphasizes:
investigations related to the development and history of landscape
investigations on the nature and properties of Earth surface processes
geomorphological mapping
Scientific results are also used in an interdiciplinary context for:
environmental impact assessment
evaluation of land-use potentials in various environments
assessment of natural hazards
assessment of geomorphosites
Further activities of the society include:
promotion of young researchers (e.g. financial travel support to research congresses). For more details see >Promotion
public outreach activites (e.g. organisation of courses for teachers, preparation of teaching resources covering geomorphological topics)
