Field Trips
We are offering a range of pre-, mid-, and post-conference fieldtrips to expose participants to the world-class geomorphology of Australasia. Each fieldtrip is led by 2 or more experienced fieldtrip guides, active in research within the fieldtrip locations.
Our pre-and post- conference fieldtrips cater for a range of budgets and timeframes, and those in New Zealand end or begin in Christchurch and/or near an international airport for ease of participant travel to or from the conference. Our mid-conference fieldtrips cater to a range of fitness levels and accessibility, and include poor-weather back-up plans (e.g. snow on roads). The mid-conference field trips will run on Wednesday 4 February.
