◆ Monitoring and early warning of geohazards

◆ Technologies of geohazards Prevention and Control

◆ Research and development of geohazards equipment

◆ Big data and artificial intelligence in geohazards

Geohazards prevention and control harmonious development of ecological environment

  The attendees intending to present posters are required to register on the conference website and submit the abstract online, and then sent the posters (.jpg or .pdf) files to the conference email address (bigs@cug.edu.cn). Please note the personal informations of the attendees in the email.
