At annual meetings, in combination with a field trip, ongoing research activities of its members are presented and current issues of a particular geomorphological interest are discussed. Considering the special interest of its members and in response to the present day problems and the science politics the Swiss GeomorphologicalSociety emphasizes:

* investigations related to the development and history of landscape
* investigations on the nature and properties of Earth surface processes
* geomorphological mapping

Scientific results are also used in an interdiciplinary context for:

* environmental impact assessment
* evaluation of land-use potentials in various environments
* assessment of natural hazards
* assessment of geomorphosites

Further activities of the society include:

* promotion of young researchers (e.g. financial travel support to research congresses)
* public outreach activites (e.g. organisation of courses for teachers, preparation of teaching
resources covering geomorphological topics)
