Reports by IAG Grant Holders – SAAG Biennial Conference (Hogsback, Eastern Cape of South Africa, 28–30 September 2023)
IAG Grant Holders in the Conference venue
The Southern African Association of Geomorphologists organised its Biennial Conference on 28-30 September 2023 in Hogsback (Eastern Cape of South Africa). The IAG offered 8 Grants to help Young Geomorphologists from the Emerging Career Researchers (ECRs) and Southern African Young Geomorphologists (SAYG) to attend this event. Congratulations to all Grant Holders!
All Grant Holders report a wonderful experience, and overall a great opportunity to present their work, to meet with experts in their research topics, but also to interact with other researchers who were at an early stage of their career. Through the Intensive Course, Grant Holders were able to participate in a pre-excursion field trip focused on wetlands (more specifically peatlands), including field sampling and subsequent analysis in the laboratory. Grant Holders were also involved in the organisation of the conference, from abstract selection to session chairing.
