The 10th Scientific Conference on Earth Sciences at the University of Alicante focuses on geomorphology

Another year, the University of Alicante hosts the 10th edition of Earth Science Scientific Conference On 6 and 7 October 2021. On this occasion, the meeting focuses on geomorphology to show the diversity of methods offered by this discipline, which are closely related to aspects such as climate change, spatial planning, natural heritage, geological hazards or restoration of the natural environment, among others.

These scientific publishing days, as well as the university community, are open to the general public and consist of several conferences in which university professors and specialists of recognized national standing participate.

Organized by the UA Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences, in collaboration with the College of Science and the Office of the Vice President for Culture, Sports and University Extension, the conference will begin on Wednesday, October 6 at 4:30 pm. “Ramon Martin Mateo” in the Alumni Hall of the Faculty of Law.
