International Symposium, Frontier of Understanding Earth's Interior and Dynamics
Information
The purpose of this international symposium is bringing scientists from different fields (physicists, engineers, geologists, geomicrobiologists, and more) to discuss connectivities to shared scientific questions. Our program aims to build and grow a community of interdisciplinary scientists by identifying new approaches to critical problems in earth sciences. Some of our endeavors involve discovery through new technologies. We seek to create new knowledge and insights into the nature and processes occurring inside the Earth. We also seek to understand our place in the solar system, links from the core to the atmosphere, and connections between the biosphere and geosphere through time.
