AOGS Conference seeks abstract submissions

February 8, 2016 - By GPS World Staff

The Asia Oceania Geosciences Society (AOGS) 2016 conference will be held in Beijing on July 31-Aug. 5. Abstract submissions are being accepted until Feb. 19. In particular, organizers are looking for papers for a session on GNSS positioning and atmospheric sounding.

AOGS was established in 2003 to promote geosciences and its application for the benefit of humanity, specifically in Asia and Oceania and with an overarching approach to global issues.

The Asia Oceania region is particularly vulnerable to natural hazards, accounting for almost 80% human lives lost globally. AOGS is deeply involved in addressing hazard-related issues through improving our understanding of the genesis of hazards through scientific, social and technical approaches.

AOGS holds annual conventions providing a unique opportunity of exchanging scientific knowledge and discussion to address important geo-scientific issues among academia, research institution and public.

Deadline for abstract submission is Feb. 19 Beijing time.
