About MCG-26

The MCG – Mountain Climatology and Geomorphology International Conference represents a pioneering scientific initiative, aiming to become the first international conference entirely dedicated to the integrated study of mountain climatology and geomorphology.

Mountain regions are among the most dynamic and fragile environments on Earth, where climate and geomorphological processes interact across multiple spatial and temporal scales. Despite their global importance for water resources, natural hazards, biodiversity, and human livelihoods, research on these systems is often fragmented across disciplines. MCG is conceived to bridge this gap by providing a unique, interdisciplinary platform where climate scientists, geomorphologists, hydrologists, ecologists, and geospatial analysts can converge and exchange ideas.

Held in the alpine setting of Andalo (Italy), the conference will bring together researchers from all over the world to discuss cutting-edge advances in the understanding of mountain systems under changing environmental conditions. Particular emphasis is placed on fostering dialogue between disciplines and promoting innovative approaches to studying the complex interactions between atmosphere, landforms, water, ecosystems, and human activities in high-altitude environments.

The scientific program is structured around key thematic tracks that reflect the core components of mountain systems, including atmospheric processes, landscape evolution, hydrogeological hazards, climate–vegetation–soil interactions, remote sensing applications, hydrology and cryosphere dynamics, and human impacts and adaptation strategies.

By creating a dedicated forum focused specifically on mountain climatology and geomorphology, MCG aims to stimulate new collaborations, support early-career researchers, and advance a more integrated understanding of mountain environments at a time of rapid global change.

MCG invites the international scientific community to join this first-of-its-kind event and contribute to shaping the future of mountain research.
