Geomorphological concepts are at the basis of several geoscience-related disciplines and their challenges, such as natural hazard management. With this perspective in mind, the International Association of Geomorphologists (IAG) promotes the organization of the 3rd IAG-EGU Intensive Course on Geomorphology of Natural Hazards in Mediterranean Areas: from Field Survey to Risk Assessment. The Intensive Course is dedicated to Early Career Scientists (hereafter ECS) and will be held in September/October 2020 in Calabria Region (southern Italy).

Calabria is a region of Southern Europe that presents most of the typical geomorphological features that characterize the Mediterranean area, in response to active tectonics and climate, through coastal and river dynamics, as well as gravity-related processes. Such a geomorphological complexity implies multi-hazards scenarios that include frequent landslides and flash floods. Furthermore, due to the presence of numerous historical villages, the number of tourists and the wide variety of outdoor activities, the exposure of local…
