Int. Moor Excursion
 
 
The IME was established by Prof. Gerhard Lang in 1976 with the aim to discuss new PhD results at the paleoecological study sites in the landscape

Prof. Gerhard Lang was chair-holder of Geobotany and Vegetation History at the University of Bern. At that time moors (fens, mires, bogs) were in the centre of research, which explains the original German name of IME (Moorexkursion). Since the 1980s the IME has turned its attention to include lakes and other natural archives of environmental, climatic and cultural change (including archaeological sites). Prof. Gerhard Lang’s project was continued and extended to its today’s style by Prof. Brigitta Ammann, who took over the chair of Geobotany and Paleoecology at University of Bern in 1990.
