Dear Colleagues!

We are pleased to invite you to take part in the IV Russian scientific and practical conference with international participation "Modern problems of geography and geology" from 16^th to 19^th of October in 2017. The conference aims to unite scientists and experts in the field of geography, geology and related sciences for the dissemination of best scientific and practical experience, as well as for the formation of a scientific culture of young researchers.

On 3 August 1888, there was the official opening of the Tomsk University - the first university in Siberia. As part of a single medical faculty there were formed departments of mineralogy and geology; physics, physical geography and meteorology; botany and zoology. In 1917, on the basis of these and other departments there was organized the natural department of Tomsk State University, which was the forerunner of all existing natural sciences faculties and departments of TSU. This Conference is dedicated to the 100^th anniversary of the foundation of the natural department of the Tomsk State University.

During the Conference there are scheduled Workshop for students, graduate students and young scientists with the participation of leading scientists and experts in various fields of geography and geology, Breakout Sessions and a Poster Session. Conference languages are Russian and English. Scientists, experts, university professors and school teachers, graduate students, undergraduates, students and schoolchildren are invited to participate in the Conference. The competition for the best scientific report will be organized among the young participants of the Conference (up to 35 years).
