Panel - UN Sustainable Development Goals (13:30 – 14:30)
One of the difficult but necessary challenges of our times is to switch from a resource intensive economic system to a sustainable economic system. To assist this conversion, the UN has come up with a set of 17 sustainable development goals (SDGs). AOGS is presenting a panel of 4 experts to outline the role of the geosciences in these SDGs. Prof. Lisa Graumlich will discuss the interactions of climate and the ecosystem and Prof. Minhan Dai will focus on the ocean’s role and the Ocean Decade for Sustainable Development. Dr. Janice Lee will talk about land use and Prof Tieh-Yong Koh is interested in Environmental Sustainability and will engage in discussions on Goal #13 Climate Action and Goal #11 Sustainable Cities and Communities at the individual and community level in Southeast Asia. The experts will all give a short introduction to illuminate their expertise, which will be followed by a chaired, open discussion.
Panellists
- Minhan DAI, Xiamen University
- Janice Teresa Ser Huay LEE, Nanyang Technological University
- Lisa GRAUMLICH, University of Washington, President-Elect, AGU
- Tieh-Yong KOH, Singapore University of Social Sciences
Moderator: Simon A. T. REDFERN, Nanyang Technological University
Energy Booster (14:30 – 14:45)
Panel - COVID-19 and Geosciences (14:45 – 15:45)
The world changed drastically in early 2020 due to the covid-19 pandemic. AOGS is presenting a panel to explore the impacts of the pandemic on the geosciences. Prof Daniel Schertzer will discuss how geoscientists have attempted to respond to the pandemic with the help of their expertise ranging from data collection to mathematical modelling. He will focus on works, including that obtained with collaborators, on the dynamics of virus spread, its growth and decapy phases and the importance of their scaling behavior. While Prof. Vijay Dimri will cover the scaling of the surface dynamics of the virus. Dr. Natasha Bhatia will look at the impacts of covid-19 on geoscience education and Dr. Aron Meltzner on field work. The experts will all give a short introduction to illuminate their expertise, which will be followed by a chaired, open discussion.
Panellists

Panel - Geoscience Education: Future Opportunities (16:00 – 17:00)
This panel discussion addresses the question of what the future directions in the field geoscience education ought to be. Geoscience education has long been established on a solid theoretical foundation, a base in the basic sciences and practical experience gained in the laboratory and in the field. However at pre-University levels the Geosciences still suffers from the low profile in schools worldwide.
The panel will address the following questions:
- What are the characteristics of a good geoscience student in the modern age?
- How has Geoscience education changed in recent times?
- What impacts did Covid 19 have on the future of Geoscience education?
- What makes good online content and how can we improve the online content in the geosciences?
- What impact will AI, big data, satellite based platforms and technologies and online material have on future Geoscience programs?
What can be done to address the disturbing gap between the educational potential of the Geosciences and its low profile in schools?
The geosciences are essential to achieving the UN Sustainable development goals and for the development of improved environmental insight for future generations. Geoscience education must adapt to the post covid, data rich society of the future and strive to prepare the next generation in new and novel ways.
