5th Meetingof AOGS
BUSAN in KOREA
June 16 to 20, 2008

AOGS Membership by country

AOGS, the Asia Oceania
Geosciences Society, holds the
key to professional networking ofgeoscientists in Asia and Oceania.

AOGS President
Atsuhiro Nishida
The AOGS meeting at Busan is to be our second experience of holding our meetingoutside Singapore, where AOGS was founded in 2004. This follows our very successful
meeting in Bangkok in 2007 where AOGS was strengthened by receiving record
numbers of participants and papers, about 1,100 and 1,200, respectively. It provided
an excellent opportunity for international scientists to meet with the geoscientists of Thailand and to build
fruitful collaborations. It also allowed us to glimpse the unique culture and traditions of Thailand.
I expect our Busan meeting to further enhance the presence of AOGS in the geosciences community, not onlyin Asia and Oceania but also in the world as a whole. Ours is a young Society in terms of the memebershipas well, 30% of the participants at Bangkok were under the age of 35.
You are requested to attend the meeting in this scenic city to report on your recent research outcomes.
In particular, we are asking Korean geoscientists to take full advantage of this opportunity to meet andinteract with geoscientists coming from numerous countries and regions; participants at Bangkok hailed
from 55 of them.
Geoscience is a discipline which has two faces, one is academic and the other is practical. Both are closely
linked and have developed together by exchanging problems and solutions between them. It is a disciplinethat is highly relevant to Asia and Oceania, which are rich in natural phenomena that wait to be understoodfor both scientific and societal reasons. AOGS is to play a pivotal role in this effort. Please come to Busanand increase the value of the meeting by your participation.
Meetings of AOGS also provide an opportunity for organizations in both the public and private sectors
to reach out to the geosciences community worldwide by presenting their objectives and programs at
the Exhibition. We hope that the Exhibition at the Busan meeting will also be actively participated in byorganizations working in geosciences or in related areas inside and outside Korea.

5Dong-A University

The Asia Oceania Geosciences Society (AOGS) holds its 5th Annual Meeting in
Busan, Korea to expand its presence in Geosciences communities in the region
and in the world. We are delighted to host the Annual Meeting in Busan and toparticipate in that endeavour. The citizens, media and the Busan Metropolitan City
government are also enthusiastic about the meeting. The city, located in the SouthEastern corner of the Korean Peninsular is a perfect place for such meetings as thecity offers diverse activities from which practically every visitor can find somethingof interest. We would like to invite colleagues in geo-scientific communities andaccompanying persons to this exciting meeting and to this lively city.
