The representatives of the young geomorphologists of the Swiss Geomorphological Society SGmS organize a two day excursion. The excursion will take place in Les Diablerets and Sanetsch region between the cantons of Vaud, Valais and Bern. The aim will be to visit various sites each presenting different aspects of high alpine geomorphology.

GPS Messungen zur Bestimmung der Blockgletschergeschwindigkeiten an der Arrête de l'Arpille (Sanetsch, VS).

Topics like current and lateglacial glacier retreat, glacio-karstic processes and more generally glacial, periglacial and fluvial geomorphology will be covered. The visited sites will be briefly presented by young researchers (mostly from the university of Fribourg and Lausanne) but the idea is then to open discussion between the participants. The language of the excursion will mainly be English but discussions can be then switch to other languages depending on the participants.
