AOGS2023 – Panel 01

Coastal Issues – SOS
01 August (Tuesday) | 1:10 – 3:10pm │MR335

Our geosciences affect our communities in many ways, especially the coastal communities. Our coastal environment has been degrading through beach erosion, plastic waste and other pollutants. Along with bleaching of reefs, these conditions have negatively impacted and sometimes endangered marine wildlife and coastal communities. Sea level changes are also affecting the coasts and coastal communities. Typically, scientists work in isolation, with little interaction with non-scientists. This panel will bring coastal scientists together with non-scientists (i.e. economists, engineers, public policy makers, insurers) working in industries affected by climate change in order to bridge this gap. We hope that this will lead to future collaborations and data exchanges for everyone’s benefits.

AOGS2023 – Panel 02

Climate Change Impacts
01 August (Tuesday) | 3:30 – 5:15pm │MR335

Recently climate change has been resulting in disastrous ways, impacting communities globally, through stronger storms, stronger cyclones, higher sea level, floods, droughts, wildfires, and other events. Typically, scientists work in isolation, with little interaction with non-scientists. This panel will bring climate scientists together with non-scientists (i.e. economists, engineers, public policy makers, insurers) working in industries affected by climate change in order to bridge this gap. We hope that this will lead to future collaborations and data exchanges for everyone’s benefits.

AOGS2023 – SS01

Space Agency Perspectives on the Remote Sensing of the Earth
02 August (Wednesday) | 10:20am – 12:20pm │MR335

The world’s space and/or environment agencies are making unprecedented contributions to studies of the Earth as an integrated system through a combination of new and existing observations that are providing an ever-expanding set of observations about the Earth’s interacting atmosphere, oceans, cryosphere, land surface, and interior. Advances in both operational and research satellites are making a significant impact on both scientific understanding and forecasting, thus contributing to societal benefits in many areas. In this session, a summary of status, accomplishments, and plans of several of the space agencies engaged in using the vantage point of space to study the Earth system and to turn the resulting knowledge into scientifically and societally useful products.

AOGS2023 – SS02

20^th Anniversary Special: AOGS Founders Session
02 August (Wednesday) | 3:30 – 5:15pm │MR335

The development of the Asia Oceania Geosciences Society (AOGS) was initiated 20 years ago by a small group of broad-minded Earth and space scientists who felt the necessity of promoting scientific cooperation and dialogue in the Asia-Oceania region. From a fruitful partnership with Meeting Matters International (Meet Matt), the membership of our Singapore-based organization has grown from a modest beginning of 983 members made up of 48 nationalities to 11,367 members comprising 79 nationalities. Together with AGU and EGU, AOGS is now one of the three major international societies dedicated to geosciences, and the one with both the widest geographical distribution and the largest scientific population. The bottom-up approach in structure and scientific program is fundamental to the growth of our Society. The annual meetings in different Asia-Pacific cities outside Singapore are important in furthering capacity building and scientific networking. With the emergence of a new generation of geoscientists who have established lasting friendships and continue to cultivate the cooperative spirit of AOGS, we look forward to the next twenty years. Please join us for this colloquium, which will reflect back fondly on our Society's past achievements and discuss our ambitions ahead.
