The Geomorphology Association of Ireland (GAI) brings together all those interested in Ireland's changing landscape.
------------
The Geomorphology Association of Ireland (GAI) is an inclusive organisation supporting Geomorphologists working and living in Ireland, but also the Irish diaspora scattered around the world who are making academic and/or applied contributions to the scientific field. Geomorphologists working in all sub-fields of the discipline are welcome - fluvial, aeolian, hillslope, peatland, coastal, planetary, and everything in between!
The GAI is Ireland's representative body to the International Association of Geomorphologists (http://www.geomorph.org/).

9th Annual Geomorphology Association of Ireland Workshop | 11 April in Galway
"From land to sea: the role of geomorphology in understanding and managing Ireland's landforms".
The goal of the workshop is to bring together geomorphologists in Ireland with a view to sharing research and fostering interdisciplinary communication and collaboration. Although there will be a strong emphasis on presenting research, an important part of the day comprises a panel discussion to openly discuss the state-of-Geomorphology in Ireland today & identify opportunities for Geomorphology the coming years as Ireland starts to implement new Climate- and Nature-focused policies that will impact how terrestrial and marine environments are managed. The workshop is hosted jointly by the GAI, Ryan Institute, and the University of Galway.

Attendance is free for all - we can't wait to see you in Galway!
