PRELUDEGeomorphology is the science that studies the origin and development of landforms andhow those landforms combine to form landscapes. Geomorphological studies include thequantitative analysis of landform shapes, the monitoring of surface and near-surface processes(e.g. running water, ice, wind, etc) that shape landforms, and the characterization of landformchanges that occur in reponse to factors such as tectonic and volcanic activity, climate andsea level change, apart from human activities. Investigations may be directed principallytowards reconstructing past processes and landform changes, towards understanding presentday processes and landform changes, or towards anticipating future processes and landformchanges.
Mankind today is facing scores of environmental problems because of overpopulation andincreasing pressure on natural resources. The Earth’s climate is predicted to change becausehuman activities are altering the natural environment. The effects of these are seen in theform of accelerated soil erosion and in increased frequency of natural hazards — flood,desertification, salinisation, siltation, landslide, shrinking glaciers, rising sea level and depletingground water.
Originally evolved as a sub-discipline of geography and geology, geomorphology has emergedas an important component of Earth Sciences that has significantly contributed to theunderstanding and management of a large number of environmental issues. Geologists,hydrologists, engineers, oceanographers, environmental scientists, ecologists and archaeologistsare increasingly using geomorphological concepts and techniques to address these issues.
INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF GEOMORPHOLOGISTS /ASSOCIATION INTERNATIONALE DES GÉOMORPHOLOGUE (IAG/AIG)Website: www.geomorph.org
The IAG/AIG was established at the 1st International Conference on Geomorphology, heldat Manchester in 1985 with the following objectives.· to develop geomorphology through international co-operation;· to promote the study and development of geomorphology in all aspects;· to foster the dissemination of knowledge of geomorphology.
THE HOST ORGANISATIONThe 9th International Conference of Geomorphology will be held in Vigyan Bhawan, NewDelhi during 6-11 November, 2017. The conference is hosted by the Indian Institute ofGeomorphologists (IGI). The Indian Institute of Geomorphologists (IGI) was founded inJanuary, 1987 by the then leading Geomorphologists of India. It has its headquarter at theDepartment of Geography of the Allahabad University.The Indian Institute of Geomorphologists (IGI) is the only organization in India, which ispurely dedicated to the research and development on Geomorphology. The Institute organisesconference and seminars every year in different universities and institutes in India. TheInstitute also has the experience of organizing the International Association ofGeomorphologists (IAG) Symposium and International Workshop on Landslides in 2004.The IGI has a large group of scientific workforce from different parts of India and publishesan annual research journal.
