Swiss Geoscience Meeting 2018
30 November - 1 December 2018 / Bern, CH

The Institute of Geography and the Institute of Geological Sciences of the University of Bern, as well as the Platform Geosciences of the Swiss Academy of Sciences (SCNAT) cordially invites to the 16th Swiss Geoscience Meeting to be held on Friday, November 30th and Saturday, December 1st, 2018 in Bern.

Four keynote speakers will discuss various topics related to “A Habitable Planet”.

Bernard Marty (Université de Lorraine, Nancy) will present his ideas on the origin and early evolution of the Earth’s atmosphere. Recent advances in space missions (e.g., Rosetta) and in the geochemistry of ancient rocks permit to have insights into the origin of atmospheric/oceanic volatiles, such as water, nitrogen, noble gases, and into the composition of the atmosphere during the first half of Earth’s history. Lindsay Stringer from the University of Leeds (Sustainability Research Institute, University of Leeds) will talk about land degradation and desertification, whereas Kathryn Goodenough (British Geological Survey) will discuss rare earth elements in the context of demand and global resources, and will consider challenges for future generations. The plenary session will conclude with a presentation by Ben Marzeion(University of Bremen), who will evaluate the influence of glacier melting on sea-level rise and discuss its consequences.
