Reports by IAG Grant Holders – 3rd IAG-DENUCHANGE Working Group Workshop 2023 (Haifa, Israel, 13-16 March)
The two grant holders, Eliza Płaczkowska and Axel Cerón González
The 3rd IAG-DENUCHANGE WG Workshop took place in Haifa (Israel) on 13-16 March 2023. To help Young Geomorphologists to attend that event, the IAG offered two grants of 450€ each to Eliza Płaczkowska and Axel Cerón González (both from Kraków, Poland). Find their full reports here:
The workshop started by conferences and presentations. Both grant holders report a “friendly atmosphere“, as well as active and fruitful scientific discussions. They also very much appreciated that two complete scientific sessions were dedicated to Young Geomorphologists. Overall, this event was a “great opportunity” to present and discuss their results.
The post-conference, three-day field trip represented also an “impressive” experience. They learned about how to use archaeological remains in the study of denudation rates, and hence had the opportunity to visit Byzantine ruins, caves or tombs, as well as the Dead Sea. They also assisted, due to the rainy conditions, to a flash flood in the desert – which Eliza reports as “one of the most exciting experiences in [her] life”.
