There are just two weeks left to submit an abstract to a session on Glacial and Paraglacial Geomorphology at the IAG meeting in Paris, 27-31 August 2013. This session integrates themes in glacial/periglacial/paraglacial processes and environments, climate change and geohazards, and so has wide relevance to many different physical settings worldwide.
Abstract submission deadline 1 November 2012
Registration deadline 1 March 2013

Session S25A – GLACIAL AND PARAGLACIAL GEOMORPHOLOGY
Convenors: Jasper Knight (jasper.knight@wits.ac.za) & Stephan Harrison (stephan.harrison@exeter.ac.uk)
Glacial and paraglacial environments are sensitive to climate and environmental change over different spatial and temporal scales. The geomorphological record of such changes during the Quaternary and Holocene, preserved in formerly and presently glaciated landscapes worldwide, can be used in combination with sedimentology, dating, remote sensing and modelling studies to better understand relationships between climate forcing and landscape response, including the time scales over which paraglacial landscape relaxation take place. Understanding of forcing-response relationships also has implications for identifying, mapping and managing geohazards. This session focuses on the mapping, description, quantification and analysis of glacial and paraglacial geomorphological patterns and processes from landscapes worldwide. It has a particular focus on interdisciplinary methods of data collection and analysis, and the application to climate and environmental reconstruction. This session will be of interest to cold-climate geomorphologists, modellers, managers and those with interdisciplinary interests in environmental change.
