| Dear Geomorphometry members, we are happy to inform you that the long-awaited anticipated 1st call for the Geomorphometry.org/2018 is finally here! Please reserve these dates in your calendar: **August 13–17, 2018 | Boulder CO, USA**. |
Abstract submissions are now open. Please use EasyChair system to submit 1-4 pages abstract. All abstracts need to be submitted following the manuscript preparation guidelines. Also note our submission deadlines indicated below.Instructions: To submit a 2-4 pages summary papers for the Geomorphometry 2018 use the EasyChair conference system. Do not submit your work by e-mail. Do not submit MS word documents but only PDF versions of your paper. Detailed instructions on how to prepare you extended abstract and how to submit it are available here. Each submission will go through a peer-review process and will be rated by the members of the scientific committee. Revisions and final acceptance of the extended abstracts will be closed in May 2018. After that we will publish the working programme of the conference and open the full registrations.

- Acquisition and processing of high resolution elevation data collected with LIDAR and photogrammetry (structure from motion)
- Mapping and analyzing Earth surface at ultra-high resolutions using sUAS (small Unmanned Aerial Systems)
- New algorithms and software for automated interpretation of digital elevation data
- Modeling extreme processes and natural hazards on the Earth surface
- Modeling and analyzing urban topography (3D cities) using lidar or photogrammetry data
- Multi-scale automated mapping of Earth surface changes
- Acquisition and analysis of bathymetry data
- Working with continental-scale high resolution data
- Simulating changes of the Earth surface relief
- 3D and 4D dynamics of Earth surface
