Environmental Hazards in Asia
National University of Mongolia, Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, August 12-15th 2024
Post conference field trip: August 16-20th, 2024
This conference aims to bring together physical and social scientists, governmental and non-governmental actors working towards building resilience to hazards across Asia. The workshop will be structured to allow exploration of the underlying physical mechanics of hazards, explore the impacts of historical events across the continent and focus on the possible approaches to minimizing future impacts. The aim is to facilitate new ideas and proposals.
Thanks to the contribution from our sponsors at the Association of Academies and Scientific Societies of Asia (AASSA), we have some funds to support travel and subsistence to up to 20 participants from across Asia. Details on how to apply can be found in the funding page of this websit
