In Asia, For Asia & The World
4th Annual Meeting

Bangkok, 30 July – 4 August 2007

Queen Sirikit National Convention CenterAtsuhiro Nishida
Asia Oceania Geosciences Society (AOGS) was founded to promote scientific research on the Earthand Planets in Asia and Oceania. The science of the Earth and Planets is a very broad discipline that
addresses Atmosphere, Ocean, River, Earthquake, Volcano, and Space. It has important implications
to protection of our environment and mitigation of natural disasters, so that its research efforts
involve not only the academics but also governments and industries all over Asia and Oceania.
Having hosted its Scientific Assemblies annually since 2004 where several hundred to about one
thousand scientists have attended, AOGS is now well established. An AOGS Assembly has become
an ideal forum for addressing to and interacting with geoscientists from all over Asia and Oceania
as well as those from U.S. and Europe. The Exhibition is viewed by influential scientists from several
tens of countries.
The fourth Assembly in Bangkok is going to highlight geoscience activities in Thailand with thesupport of the Local Advisory Committee chaired by Prof. Piamsak Menasveta, Dean of the Facultyof Science, Chulalongkorn University. We invite participation of scientists, government officers,and industries to lectures and exhibitions at this first AOGS assembly ever held outside Singapore.

We are pleased to work with Asia Oceania Geosciences Society (AOGS) in organizing the fourthassembly in Bangkok. Thailand gives high priority to earth system science. Our economy and thewell being of people depend on the better understanding of this vast field of studies. We areconfident that AOGS in Bangkok will prove to be effective in providing a ground for participants toexchange knowledge and perspectives for the common goals of geosciences, which will ultimately
lead to better understanding, sustainable utilization of geo-resources, as well as harmonious andcoexistence between man and nature. Here by we cordially invite you to attend AOGS 2007 inBangkok.

Sitting in the central business district of Bangkok with easy access to the finest hotels
in the city, the QSNCC is on Rachadapisek Road, an arterial road running north-south
between two of the city’s main east-west thoroughfares - Sukhumvit Road and Rama
