Mission

Considering the special interest of its members and in response to the present day problems and the science politics the Swiss Geomorphological Society emphasizes:

• investigations related to the development and history of landscape
• investigations on the nature and properties of Earth surface processes
• geomorphological mapping

Scientific results are also used in an interdiciplinary context for:

• environmental impact assessment
• evaluation of land-use potentials in various environments
• assessment of natural hazards
• assessment of geomorphosites

Further activities of the society include:

• promotion of young researchers (e.g. financial travel support to research congresses). For more details see >Promotion
• public outreach activites (e.g. organisation of courses for teachers, preparation of teaching resources covering geomorphological topics)
