IAG Regional Conference on Geomorphology Environmental Change in the Tropics was held in Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia, June 25-29, 2007
Tropical Asia Pacific is of critical importance to global environmental change. The region is undergoing rapid development, land cover transformation and urbanisation. Against this backdrop of rapid transformation, geomorphology can make contributions in many different ways.
IAG Regional Conference on Geomorphology Tropical and Subtropical Geomorphology: processes, methods and techniques was held in Goiania, Brazil, September 6-10, 2006
