Webinar series from the IAG Working Group on Tectonic Geomorphology

The Tectonic Geomorphology Working Group is organising a series of five webinars, one each month between March and July 2023. You will have the opportunity to hear speakers from all around the world, talking about various topics related to tectonic geomorphology – including supra-detachment, tectonic uplift, coastal markers of tectonic activity… find the Webinar’s full programme here.

CALL for GRANTS for the Permafrost Young Researchers Network (PYRN) Workshop, at the 6th European Conference on Permafrost (EUCOP) 2023 (Puigcerdà, Spain, 18–22 June)

The International Association of Geomorphologists (IAG) announces the offering of 2 travel grants of 350 € (three hundred and fifty Euros) to support the participation of two Young Geomorphologists* worldwide (except those based in Spain) in the Permafrost Young Research Network (PYRN) Workshop at the 6th European Conference on Permafrost (EUCOP 2023) (Puigcerdà, Spain, 18–22 June 2023).

The aim of the PYRN organisation is to gather young permafrost researchers to network and share ideas on the latest scientific discoveries on permafrost. The meeting will be held at the Museu Cerdà in Puigcerdà, Spain. The Workshop and social event will focus on training and networking specifically young permafrost scientists. The event will involve a whole day of workshops on both technical and soft skills. The program of the Workshop involves: i) half day of talks on permafrost-related scientific topics; ii) half day of talks on soft-skills topics, e.g., writing proposals, pursuing a permafrost career outside academia.

CALL for GRANTS for the 3rd IAG-DENUCHANGE Working Group Workshop 2023 (Haifa, Israel, 13-16 March)

The International Association of Geomorphologists (IAG) announces the offering of 2 travel grants of 450 (four hundred and fifty Euros) to support the participation of two Young Geomorphologists* worldwide (except those based in Israel) in the 3rd IAG-DENUCHANGE-2023 Working Group Workshop (Haifa, Israel, 13–16 March 2023).

The meeting will take place at the University of Haifa, followed by two days of field trips, including geoarchaeological study sites, long and short-term denudation areas and various research sites along the Dead Sea shores. The Workshop aims to gather various Earth scientists from all around the world to contribute to a better understanding of the Earth surface systems, and to facilitate future collaboration. The program of the Workshop includes a special session dedicated to presentations given by Young Geomorphologists. During the Workshop, the Young Geomorphologists will have the opportunity to meet and engage discussions with scientists from various countries, and visit cutting-edge scientific study sites.

Addis Abeba 2002

The United Nations has proclaimed 2002 as the International Year of Mountains (IYM) to increase international awareness of the global importance of mountain ecosystems. In this frame, the IAG International Symposium on ‘Climate Changes, Active Tectonics and Related Geomorphic Effects in High Mountain Belts and Plateaux‘ was a tools to understand the triggering factors and the evolution of extreme natural events due to climate variability and seismic/volcanic phenomena, in order to assess and mitigate natural hazards.

Conference was co-sponsored by INQUA Commission on Neotectonics W.G. ‘Mountain Building’, Italian Association of Physical Geography and Geomorphology and Belgian Association of Geomorphologists.
