Mission Statement
AOGS is well known for promoting geosciences and public benefits for Asia and Oceania, and has organized annual meetings successfully. I am honored to be nominated for election to the Solid Earth Sciences section president. I believe that the key aspects of the Society are its annual meeting for sparking groundbreaking ideas to promote research, education, and training in solid earth sciences. As a solid Earth Sciences section president, I will run special topical conferences, workshops, short training courses and pre- or post-conference seminars to attract geoscientists all over the world in Geodesy, seismology, earthquake geology, active tectonics, deep structures and physics of the earth interior, geochemistry and geodynamics to participate and benefit. Outreach to the general public, I would encourage more involvement of earthquake hazards' practitioners in AOGS as members, and with AOGS as promoters of worldwide improvements in earthquake hazard reduction.
