History of ANZGG 

In 1982, a group of geomorphologists from Australia and New Zealand came up with the idea of an ANZGG. These pioneers: Gerald Nanson, Bob Young and Ted Bryant, along with Mike Crozier, devised a plan to form an organisation for geomorphologists with the aim to foster intellectual exchange between members of the geomorphological community. This was to be achieved through biennial meetings, the first of which was organised by Gerald, Bob and Ted in August 1982 at Ranelagh House in Robertson NSW. The format of the inaugural meeting was 3 days of sessions and field workshops on the different branches of geomorphology, and 1 day of field trips. Despite several decades passing, the format of ANZGG conferences has changed very little and is a testament to these pioneering ideas.
