Auspices for the Summer School in Geomorphological Mapping (Camerino, Italy, 2-8 September 2024)

 

The IAG is happy to give its auspices for the Summer School in Geomorphological Mapping, which will be held in Camerino (Italy) on 2nd to 8th September 2024! This event is organised by the Geology Division of the University of Camerino, and supported by the AIGeo (Italian Association of Physical Geography and Geomorphology), the ISPRA (Higher Institute for Environmental Protection and Research of the Ministry of Ecological Transition of the Italian Government) and the CNG (National Council of Geologists).

The aim of the course is to develop the experience of participants in geomorphological mapping of tectonically active areas. The Summer School will include a few days of teaching, followed by the application of the course by creating specific geomorphological maps. Preparation of those maps will include, among others: analysis of remote sensing data, field survey, sample collection and subsequent laboratory analyses…

The University of Camerino is located in Central Italy, which underwent a strong seismic crisis in 2016-2017. Hence, the Summer School will be focused on the remaining geomorphological features of that crisis: surface faulting, large landslides, or deep-seated gravitational slope deformations.

Reports by IAG Grant Holders – SAAG Biennial Conference (Hogsback, Eastern Cape of South Africa, 28–30 September 2023)

IAG Grant Holders in the Conference venue

The Southern African Association of Geomorphologists organised its Biennial Conference on 28-30 September 2023 in Hogsback (Eastern Cape of South Africa). The IAG offered 8 Grants to help Young Geomorphologists from the Emerging Career Researchers (ECRs) and Southern African Young Geomorphologists (SAYG) to attend this event. Congratulations to all Grant Holders!

All Grant Holders report a wonderful experience, and overall a great opportunity to present their work, to meet with experts in their research topics, but also to interact with other researchers who were at an early stage of their career. Through the Intensive Course, Grant Holders were able to participate in a pre-excursion field trip focused on wetlands (more specifically peatlands), including field sampling and subsequent analysis in the laboratory. Grant Holders were also involved in the organisation of the conference, from abstract selection to session chairing.

Reports by IAG Grant Holders – IAG Regional Conference on Geomorphology (Cappadocia, Türkiye, 12-14 September 2023)

The IAG Regional Conference on Geomorphology was held in Cappadocia (Türkiye), on 12-14 September 2023. The IAG was happy to offer travel grants, helping 10 Young Geomorphologists to attend this event. Congratulations to them!

Overall, they all enjoyed participating in the IAG Regional Conference on Geomorphology 2023 “Geoheritage and Geodiversity”, as well as in the subsequent Intensive Course “High Resolution Mapping and Cosmogenic Dating of Fluvial Landforms”. Their reports particularly highlight the quality of the talks, whether during the scientific sessions or the Intensive Course. They also describe the associated field trip as an unforgettable experience.
