EGU 2019 Geomorphology and Society: Past, Present and Future (GM6.4/HS11.53/NH3.28/SSS1.5)
Geoarchaeology IAG
Dear colleagues,
We wish you all a happy NEW YEAR 2019.
Please consider to submit your abstract to the session on “Geomorphology and Society: Past, Present and Future (IAG/IGU Joint Commission/Working Group)”
at the EGU General Assembly 2019, in Vienna (Austria) from 7 - 12 April 2019.
Session description:
Landforms and landscape can be a resource for communities and/or communities are challenged by the effects of geomorphological processes and changes. However, we now live in a world in which the relationship between environment and society has fundamentally changed due to the nature and scale of the human footprint on the planet. Furthermore, we experience a new dimension of environmental changes and socio-economic developments.
This session is targeted at developing an international network of scientists with common interests in geomorphology and, in particular, the complex and integrated nature of the relationship between landforms, geomorphological processes and people. As such, we are inviting contributions that focus on the two-way interactions between geomorphological processes/landforms and human activity. These should show how the various factors of the physical environment interact with the anthroposphere, and, in turn, how population and individuals may affect (and change) these factors. As a corollary, contributions may center on interrelationships between man and the landscape, or human-landscape relations, with mutual interaction.
In this context, topics of different fields may be addressed in the session such as landform evolution, landscape sensitivity and resilience, geohazards, geoheritage, geomorphological responses to (and evidence for) environmental change, and applied geomorphology.
Possible key concepts may include the concept of space and the concept of time, which involves the paradigms of dynamical systems, nonlinearities, chaotic behaviour and even panarchy in geomorphological and social systems. Moreover, issues of scale and hierarchies may be addressed, and methods and applications of dynamic rather than equilibrium ideas and metaphors.
Contributions should provide new insights how to conceptualize, analyse, model and/or interpret such two-way interactions between geomorphological processes/landforms and human activity in the past, present or future.
Abstracts can be submitted until the 10th of January 2019, 13:00 CET. For the abstract submission please see alsohttps://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU2019/session/32220
The session is in the PICO format, which comprises 3-minute oral presentations and a long discussion session afterwards to share your results in interactive presentations on your own screen.
Additionally, we organised also a SPLINTER MEETING for our IAG/IGU Joint Commission/Working Group. Alongside the 2019 EGU meeting the joint Working Group/Commission of the International Association of Geomorphologists and the International Geographical Union on "Geomorphology and Society" will take place. During this meeting, planned activities and possible participation in research calls will be discussed.
Please note the meeting in your EGU schedule: SMI3 Thursday April 11, 16:15–18:00

We are looking forward to receiving your abstracts and to having great discussions at EGU in April
