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. Recognizing the need of global collaboration, AOGS has developed good co-operation with other international geo-science societies and unions such as the European Geosciences Union (EGU), American Geophysical Union (AGU), International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics (IUGG), Japan Geo-science Union (JpGU), and Science Council of Asia (SCA).
Why AOGS?
- Our mission is to promote geophysical science for the benefit of humanity in Asia and Oceania.
- AOGS sees the region that stretches from Kashmir to Wellington as a hotbed filled with challenges and nascent potential.
- Asia and Oceania currently holds the largest population, and is still rapidly developing.
- There are unique scientific issues to discover and understand in a region that is more diverse than any other regions.
