Workshops open to anyone attending the conference:
Geodiversity and wetland conservation of cold deserts workshop
When: Sunday 1st February
Duration: 0900 - 1600
Where: University of Canterbury Ilam Campus, Christchurch
Cost NZD$ (inclusive of catering): Regular = $80 ECR/Student = $40
Details: This workshop will focus on wetlands in high-altitude cold deserts and climate change impacts. It will provide participants with a range of techniques for assessing and conserving geodiversity and wetlands. The workshop will focus on case studies from the Indian Trans-Himalayas. The workshop is led by Dr. Krishnanand (Associate Professor of Geography at Sharda University, India) and Dr. Vipin Solanki (Assistant Professor in Wetland Conservation).
Target audience: Anyone, but preference given to students and early career researchers
Coastal shoreline mapping workshop
When: Sunday 1st February
Duration: 0900 - 1600
Where: University of Canterbury Ilam Campus, Christchurch
Cost NZD$ (inclusive of catering): Regular = $80 ECR/Student = $40
Details: This workshop will demonstrate different free, open-source techniques used to quantify changes in sandy shorelines in Brazil and Australia. It will look at the use of satellite imagery (Landsat, Sentinel), sediment transport rates calculation and introduce the CoastSat toolkit. This workshop is led by Dr. Breylla Campos Carvalho from the Universidade Federal de São Paulo and Thalles Araújo from the University of Western Australia.
Target audience: Anyone, but preference given to students and early career researchers .
Submarine geomorphology mapping workshop
When: Saturday 7th February
Duration: 0900 - 1300
Where: University of Canterbury Ilam Campus, Christchurch
Cost NZD$ (inclusive of catering): Regular = $80 ECR/Student = $20
Details: This workshop is co-facilitated by the International Seabed Geomorphology Mapping Working Group (ISGM-WG). The workshop will demonstrate a two-step process to map morphology and geomorphology of the seabed through two ArcGIS Pro Toolbox that supports its implementation. The ISGM-WG will demonstrate the application of the two-step process to several worked examples from coasts, continental shelves and the deep marine, and thereby demonstrate the utility of the two-part approach for the mapping the distribution of sedimentary facies that form in these diverse marine environments. This session is led by Dr. Rachel Nanson (Geoscience Australia) and Dr. Riccardo Arosio (University College Cork).
Target audience: Anyone, but preference given to students and early career researchers
