Giessen, Germany
The Central European Conference on Geomorphology and Quaternary Sciences will be held in Giessen, Germany, from 23–27 September 2018.
Venue
The conference will take place in the “Uni-Hauptgebäude”, the main building of the Justus-Liebig-University (JLU) Giessen. It is located near the city centre of Giessen within easy walking distance of shops, bars and restaurants. Address: Ludwigstrasse 23, 35390 Giessen.
Logistics
The conference is organized by the German Association on Geomorphology (AKG - Deutscher Arbeitskreis für Geomorphologie) and the German Quaternary Association (DEUQUA – Deutsche Quartärvereinigung), and will be hosted by the Department of Geography, Justus-Liebig-University Giessen.
Description
For the first time, the conference is arranged as a joint conference of AKG and DEUQUA, bringing together the closely related disciplines of Quaternary Sciences and Geomorphology, both dealing with the earth surface, its processes and related sediments. Following this idea, the theme of the conference is:
Geomorphology and Quaternary Sciences: Connecting disciplines
Following this motto, the conference will present cutting edge research from both disciplines with their specific and individual perspectives. Oral presentations and poster sessions will be accompanied by a number of keynote lectures. Pre- and post-conference field trips and a public evening lecture will complement the scientific program.
The conference is open to all scientists interested in Geomorphology and Quaternary Sciences and especially young scientists are invited to participate.
