The Section of Earth and Environmental Sciences at the University of Geneva and the Platform Geosciences of the Swiss Academy of Sciences (SCNAT) cordially invite you to participate in the 19th Swiss Geoscience Meeting to be held on 19 and 20 November 2021.
Since this year's edition will be held exclusively online, there are no registration fees, registration deadline is 12 November 2021.
To register, please go to: https://geoscience-meeting.ch/sgm2021/registration/
Only registered attendees will receive the zoom links to attend the symposium on Friday 19th and the conference on Saturday 20th.
Schedule
On Friday 19 November, a series of Invited keynote lectures will be held on this year's Plenary Session topic: "Climate, Resources and Environment: conflicts, synergies & compromises".
On Saturday 20 November, 23 scientific symposia will cover the diverse spectrum of current research in geosciences, encompassing the lithosphere, the hydrosphere, the cryosphere, the biosphere, the atmosphere and the anthroposphere.
Abstract submissions
The deadline for abstract submission is Tuesday 31 August 2021.
Depending on the number and subject of abstracts submitted, proposed sessions may be canceled, merged or new ones created. Abstracts will be initially assigned to the session indicated by the authors at the time of abstract submission.
All abstracts must be submitted electronically until the deadline following the instructions on the SGM2021 website: https://geoscience-meeting.ch/sgm2021
Registration
The deadline for registration is Friday 19 October 2021.
Registration and Payments must be made electronically following the instructions on the SGM2021 website.
Because it is still uncertain whether the SGM 2021 can be held in physical form or will again have to be held online, registrations will open at a later date.
