CALL for IAG GRANTS

for the 11th Workshop of the IAG/AIG SEDIBUD (Sediment Budgets in Cold Environments) Working Group

Relationships between climate change, vegetation cover and sediment fluxes in high latitude/high altitude cold environments

Baru (Hunedoara County, Romania), 5-8 September 2017

The International Association of Geomorphologists offers 2 grants of 250 euros to favour the participation of Young Geomorphologists (under 35 years old) worldwide (except Romania) in the Workshop organized by the IAG SEDIBUD (Sediment Budgets in Cold Environments) Working Group on the "Relationships between climate change, vegetation cover and sediment fluxes in high latitude/high altitude cold environments".

The 11th IAG/AIG SEDIBUD (Sediment budgets in Cold Environments) Workshop will be held between 5-8 September 2017 at the Research Base of the Babeş-Bolyai University (UBB), located in Baru (Hunedoara County, Romania). It will bring together researchers from various scientific fields with special interest and studies concerning the sediment transfer processes and budgets under changing climate and vegetation cover conditions in high latitude/high altitude cold environments worldwide.

A one-day field trip will be organized in Parâng Mountains (Southern Carpathians), aiming at introducing the participants within the morphoclimatic context of the alpine areas in Carpathians. Several sites with past and contemporary geomorphic process activity (rock falls, rock avalanches, debris flows, snow avalanches, periglacial activity etc.). The participants will get also an overview of the complex interactions between the sediment transfer processes and the mountain ecosystems (alpine meadows, subalpine shrubs and coniferous forests).

For further information on the Workshop, please visit the IAG SEDIBUD Working Group webpage http://www.geomorph.org/sedibud-working-group/

Applicants (with a special interest in the topic of the Workshop to be proved by their CV) are requested to submit the following files before 31 May 2017

- Application form (see below)

- Short CV (maximum 2 pages long), including up to 10 papers relevant to the Workshop themes
