The Faculty of Geosciences and Environment of the University of Lausanne, the Musée Cantonal de Géologie and the Platform Geosciences of the Swiss Academy of Sciences (SCNAT) cordially invite you to participate in the 20^th Swiss Geoscience Meeting to be held from Friday, 18 November to Sunday, 20 November, 2022.

 

On Friday, 18 November

The SGM will start on Friday morning with the now traditional GEODES Workshop. This year it will explore the challenges, the statistics and the strategies for improving and engaging in diverse teams in the Swiss (Geo)science community.

The plenary session on Friday afternoon entitled Resilience and Transitions in Geosciences will explore transitions and resilience at a range of spatial and temporal scales, from geological tipping points to the link between social, economic and natural systems and implications for management and policy.

The day will end with the traditional Swiss Geoscience Party (Palais de Rumine, only for persons who have registered for the party)

 

On Saturday, 19 November

27 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.

 

On Sunday, 20 November

A tribute symposium in honour of Karl Föllmi, Johannes Hunziker and Albrecht Steck on Alpine-Himalayan Geology will take place on that day.

 

The SGM also provides the ideal environment to foster informal contacts and discussion among scientists, in particular during the Swiss Geoscience Party on Friday evening but also at the poster sessions on Saturday. Time is reserved for two poster sessions on Saturday, at which the authors will be present for active discussion and feedback.

Looking forward to seeing you in Lausanne!
