ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING AND CONFERENCE
The Annual Conference of the British Society for Geomorphology (BSG) is an international Open Conference. This Annual Meeting stimulates debate on new developments and advances in Geomorphology, and is a forum for emerging approaches to solve key challenges throughout pure and applied Geomorphology.
The Annual Conference for 2012 is scheduled for:
University of Nottingham, 25th – 27th June 2012. The conference theme is “Are we putting the model cart before the data horse?”
In 2013, the conference will be hosted by Royal Holloway, University of London, and will run jointly with the RGS-IBG Annual Conference in London.
EARTH SURFACE PROCESSES AND LANDFORMS
ESP&L is the flagship international journal of the BSG, edited by Prof. Stuart Lane (Managing Editor) and five Associate Editors. The Journal publishes original research papers, Earth Surface Exchanges (shorter articles, commentaries, reviews and discussion papers) for rapid publication, technical communications and book reviews across all branches of geomorphology.
WINDSOR WORKSHOP
The BSG runs a workshop for new research students in December each year and we encourage all geomorphology PhD students to attend. The workshop introduces new skills and ideas, and you’ll meet fellow new postgraduates, practising researchers and the BSG postgraduate representatives.
