We proudly present the Scientific Committee Blog # 7
Third EGEA e-Lecture: Rock Glaciers
January 26th
18:00 CET
Lecturer: Ivar Berthling, Associate Professor at the Department of Geography at NTNU, Trondheim/Norway
The Scientific Committee has organized already two e-Lectures and this one is the 3rd EGEA e-Lecture. We will have an online lecture and every EGEAn
can take part. After the presentation by Dr. Ivar Berthling we will have the possibility to ask questions and start a discussion.
The e-Lecture will be held by using the online platform WiZiQ, which is free of charge. People do not have to install anything on their computer.
Furthermore it is possible to see a video of the speaker. The presenter is able to use an interactive whiteboard to visualize certain aspects, e.g. a
PPT, pictures etc.
The Scientific Committee would like to encourage EGEA entities to organize some kind of local meetings to take part in the e-Lecture with a bigger
group. For example you could use that event to promote EGEA at your university.
So...save the date, remind your CP's, book a room, invite other students and your professors, bake a cake and serve coffee :) - We are looking forward
to this and hope you are too!
What will the e-lecture be about?
Rock glaciers are enigmatic permafrost landforms that are found in most steep high mountain areas on Earth, and also on Mars.
This lecture will tell you why they have been subject to a heated debate in the scientific community, what we may learn from them about science, chaos
and order, and the story they tell about landscape development in sensitive high mountain and polar areas.
The e-lecture will start at 18:00 CET!
