Information

The joint Master and PhD Seminar aims at gaining professional skills in elaborating, presenting and reflecting critical on a selected research topic (e.g. master thesis). Hereby, Master students can take advantage form the experience of the PhDs and PhDs practise constructive feedback.

Content:
The course will identify and elaborate major themes at the research frontier of geomorphology.

Methods:
Participants will present their scientific aspirations, concepts and results in up to 30 min presentations. The works will be discussed regarding general questions, scientific relevance and importance for geomorphology.
Participants may also report on relevant topics to which they have been introduced at conferences, which they have attended and will discuss these in terms of their importance for geomorphology in general, for the participating research groups and for individual degree programmes.

All interested graduates, post-graduates, tutors and teaching assistants are invited to participate.
