Mid-European Geomorphology Meeting 2021

Liebe Mitglieder des VGDH,

wir möchten sie herzlich zu unserer hybriden mitteleuropäischen Geomorphologietagung vom 6.-10. November 2021 einladen, dem Mid-European Geomorphology Meeting 2021 (MGM 2021) in München, das der AK Geomorphologie zusammen mit Geomorph AT und der Schweizer Gesellschaft für Geomorphologie ausrichtet. Alle Informationen sind auf https://www.ak-geomorphologie.de/tagungen/mgm-2021/ verfügbar. Einreichungen zu den Sessions und den disziplinübergreifenden Diskussionsrunden sind bis zu 21.7. möglich.

Scientific Sessions:

1 Conceptual sessions

This format is focused on audience-driven discussion and includes short stimulating controversial talks. Conveners invite selected speakers for appealing talks – participants can submit posters to these sessions. No parallel sessions will be scheduled to these discussions.

    1.1 DISCUSSION: Changing Geomorphology: anticipating future trajectories of geomorphology (K. v. Elverfeldt, U. Klagenfurt; A. Lang, U. Salzburg, Niels Hovius, GFZ).

    1.2 DISCUSSION: Deciphering the history of geomorphology: How can a younger generation of geomorphologists profit from the understanding of the history of geomorphology? (U. Wardenga, Leibniz-Institut für Länderkunde; W. Haeberli, U. Zürich; S. Harrison, U. Exeter).

    1.3 DISCUSSION: Education and communication of geomorphology in a changing climate, environment & society (A. Schöps, Head of School, JGG Waldkirchen, Advisor of the Bavarian Ministry of Education for the Curriculum design, Former head of the Assoc. of Bavarian School Geographers; A. Linsbauer, Geography Teacher Training UZH, scientific leader of “Expedition2Grad” a VR project on communicating climate change impacts at the Aletsch Glacier).

    1.4 DISCUSSION: Developing professional profiles for Geomorphology and anticipating future challenges on the job market (H.J. Laimer, GB Streckenmanagement und Anlagenentwicklung, Geotechnik und Naturgefahrenmanagement, ÖBB-Infrastruktur AG; M. Keuschnig, CEO GEORESEARCH, CTO Geoconsult Group).
