The society’s journal, Earth Surface Processes and Landforms is published by Wiley-Blackwell and online access is available free to members.

The BSG can trace its beginnings back to a meeting in Sheffield in 1958 where British geomorphologists gathered together to organise a Landform Survey of Britain.

Morphological mapping schemes, emphasising slope, were the subject for discussion at early meetings of the BGRG.

Of those 19 geomorphologists who, by their action, can be regarded as the founders of the BGRG, which now has an international membership of around 700, nine attended this 40th Anniversary Meeting.

The new Constitution stated that the object of the Society shall be the advancement of the science of geomorphology, in research, in all levels of education, and in its practical application.
