Dear Colleagues,
Apologies for cross-posting.
We would like to bring to your attention the upcoming Swiss Geoscience Meeting that will be held in Geneva on 18-19 November 2016.





14th Swiss Geoscience Meeting 
Geneva, 18 & 19 November 2016






Dear Colleagues,



The Section of Earth and Environmental Sciences of the University of Geneva and the Platform Geosciences of the Swiss Academy of Sciences, SCNAT cordially invite you to participate in the 14th Swiss Geoscience Meeting to be held on
 18th and 19th November 2016 in Geneva.








On Friday 18th,
Keynote presentations will focus on this year's theme "Time in Geosciences: Knowledge for a new beginning". Four keynote speakers will present their research covering a wide range of geoscientific topics. Klaus Mezger (University
 of Bern) and Andrew Knoll (Harvard University) will take us far back to the origins of Earth and Life on Earth in deep time, unlocking the fundamental aspects of the physical and biological parameters underpinning the functioning of the Earth’s
 system. Edouard Bard (College de France, CEREGE, University Aix-Marseille, CNRS) will focus on timing and rates of environmental changes in our recent past, extracting lessons from the Holocene. The symposium will conclude with a presentation
 by Ulrike Niemeier (Max Planck Institute for Meteorology) who will discuss how rates of geological processes inform current geoengineering approaches in the context of adaptation to climate change.



On Saturday 19th,
22 scientific symposia will cover the diverse spectrum of current research in geoscience,encompassing the lithosphere, the hydrosphere, the cryosphere, the biosphere,
 the atmosphere and the anthroposphere.



The SGM also provides the ideal environment to foster informal contacts and discussion among scientists, in particular during the Swiss Geoscience Party on Friday evening (Campus Biotech) but also at the poster sessions in the
 main hall of the venue on Saturday. Two poster sessions are scheduled withthe authors will be present for active discussion and feedback.
