The 5th International Conference on Earth Science & Climate Change is being organized on the theme “Stimulating and Analyzing the changes of Earth & Climate-ICESCC”. The event will take place in Bangkok, THAILAND during July 25-27, 2016.
We warmly welcome scientists, researchers, scholars and students alike from the fields of geosciences, meteorology, volcanology, oceanography, atmospheric and space science, soil sciences, climate change, environmental sciences, remote sensing and others who wish to share their research findings in the interest to promote earth science education at the school, college and university levels, and among the general public.
Track 1: Earth Evolution Sciences
The tale of our planet is an epic filled with crises, calamities, and incredible, recurring change. Earth traces its origin to simple atoms that were created in the big bang, transformed into heavy elements in stellar explosions, and then forged into a planet inside the nebula that gave birth to the solar system. Like many other planets, Earth went through many stages: immense heat due to accretion and volcanoes, bombardment by asteroids, one of which dislodged the moon, the cooling phase which caused condensation of H2O to form rain, volcanoes ejecting gases (CO2, N2, and H2), forming the early atmosphere, and finally cyanobacteria in the primitive oceans set the foundation for a flourishing biosphere—life. And once life was established, it drove the evolution of our planet in amazing new directions.

Track 2: Geosciences
Geosciences begin with the ground we walk on, delve inward to the centre of the Earth and expand outward to other planetary bodies in our solar system. Climate, biogeochemical cycles, and planetary tectonics are the three basic processes that geoscientists deal with. The surface environment of the Earth is controlled by interactions between the deep Earth, the atmosphere, the hydrosphere, and the biosphere. These interactions occur on timescales ranging from picoseconds for chemical reactions on mineral surfaces to the billions of years over which plate tectonic processes and biological evolution take place. Investigations are visible on what shapes our world and the environments in which we live, in order to understand the interactions between Earth's geology, atmosphere, oceans, biosphere and human responses and roles. The need is there to develop new seismological, electromagnetic, gravitational, magnetic, and industrial seismic methods to interrogate the Earth for information on Earth’s processes.

Track 3: Geology
Geology means, literally, the study of the Earth. It is the core discipline of earth sciences and encompasses many different phenomena, including plate tectonics and mountain building, volcanoes and earthquakes, and the long-term evolution of Earth’s atmosphere, surface and life. Geology reveals the structure of the Earth and its surface features, what causes earthquakes and tsunamis, and why volcanoes form and erupt, which minerals form the building blocks of rocks, and how rocks are made and destroyed and the dramatic changes that have happened over Earth’s long history. Because of the ever-increasing demand for resources, the growing exposure to natural hazards, and the changing climate, geology is of considerable societal relevance. Geology offers a strong foundation to discover the processes that shape the earth giving a solid understanding of the physical sciences with a quantitative emphasis.

Track 4: Global Warming
Over the past 100 years, the global average temperature has increased by approximately 0.6°C and is projected to continue to rise at a rapid rate. The continued increase in the atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide due to anthropogenic emissions is predicted to lead to significant changes in climate. The global nitrogen cycle has been altered by human activity to such an extent that more nitrogen is fixed annually by humanity than by all natural pathways combined. This added nitrogen alters the chemistry of the atmosphere and of aquatic ecosystems. These and other equally certain components of global environmental change are the primary causes of anticipated warming in climate. Separate studies from the finest organizations have revealed that July 2015 was warmest month ever recorded in the history of the planet!

Track 5: Climate Change
Earth's climate is changing and the subject is likely to be the predominant scientific issue of the 21st century. The fate of humanity and nature may depend on the early recognition and understanding of anthropogenic effects on climate change. There is concurrence that human activities are leading to dangerous interference in Earth’s climate. Anthropogenic activities are contributing to climate change, primarily by releasing billions of tons of carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping gases, known as greenhouse gases, into the atmosphere every year. Climate change is not just affecting the surface of our world; it's making the Earth move under our feet. For more than a decade, the target of keeping the increase in the average annual temperature below 2 °C has been a key focus of the international climate debate. Timely and stringent mitigation are the need of the hour to at least buy some time for climate change adaptation.

Track 6: Meteorology
Meteorology is the study of the atmosphere, atmospheric phenomena, and atmospheric effects on our weather. It is essentially an inter-disciplinary science because the atmosphere, land and ocean constitute an integrated system. Research is focused on atmospheric composition including air quality, weather and hazardous weather, technologies for modelling the atmosphere, among other areas. Meteorologists rely heavily on algorithms computer software and model systems that are versatile, intuitive, and user-friendly. New and updated systems are being developed that will help researchers to discover new phenomena in meteorology.

Track 7: Geophysics
Geophysics is a non-invasive technique to study the sub-surface geology of the Earth by utilizing complementary physical properties of the earth such as density, magnetic susceptibility, conductivity, electrical chargeability, seismic velocity, and so on. Geophysical methods can provide information on subsurface structure and stratigraphy that is critical to understanding surface processes. Gravity, magnetics, resistivity, electromagnetics, ground-penetrating radar, and various seismic methods are applied across a range of process domains, including faulting, volcanism, topography and weathering, hillslope processes, coastal and sea-level change, aeolian and fluvial processes, and glacial and periglacial processes all to determine the composition and state of the Earth’s interior.

Track 8: Astronomy
Astronomy is the science of space beyond Earth’s atmosphere. It is the study of the sun, moon, stars, planets, comets, gas, galaxies, gas, dust and other non-Earthly bodies and phenomena. Astronomy is a multi-disciplinary science. Cosmologists study the Universe as a whole, including its beginnings. Astrometrists measure great, astronomical distances. Planetologists study planets within our own Solar System as well as those orbiting distant stars. Astronomy is the oldest science, with the first observations of the heavens conducted by our early human ancestors. From Nicolaus Copernicus “theorizing” the sun being in the centre of the solar system, to the development of solar electric propulsion technology, the discovery of the hidden truths of the universe is only just beginning.

Track 9: Space Science
Thousands of years ago, on a small rocky planet orbiting a modest star in an ordinary spiral galaxy, our remote ancestors looked up and wondered about their place between Earth and sky. Like them, we ask the same profound questions, such as how did the universe begin? Today, we are beginning to answer these questions. Using scientific tools that range from abstract mathematics and computer modelling to laboratories and observatories, humans are filling in the details of the amazing story of the universe. Exploration of our moon, our ruddy neighbour Mars, and in fact, the entire solar system has played a vital role in understanding different conditions and phenomena that might have prevailed and occurred on our own planet which eventually brought it to where it is now. Efforts are on-going to understand the nature and phenomena of the universe, understand the fundamental laws of space, time, and energy and to trace the cycles that have created the conditions for our own existence, to observe signals from the Big Bang, all to unveil the hidden truths of the universe. Scientists are vigorously searching for the birth of stars and finding planetary systems in our region of the galaxy, including those capable of harboring life, in an effort to learn whether life exists beyond our solar system.

Track 10: Soil Science
Soil is the reservoir on which most life on earth depends, as the primary source of food, feed, fuel, forage, fibre, and pharmaceuticals. Soil plays a vital role in sustaining human welfare and assuring future agricultural productivity and environmental stability. The study of soil as a science provides us with a basic understanding of the physical, chemical, and biological properties and processes essential to such a complex ecosystem. With soils across the world being subject to anthropogenic hazards, research on control and remediation measures has commenced. Questions like how can soils help with climate change? And what is desertification and what can be done to prevent it? are being addressed to optimally utilize and preserve this fantastically complex environment.

Track 11: Geo-Ethics
The scientific community, as well as our civic communities, must have trust that the conduct of scientists and the integrity of their scientific product, is above reproach. Many scientific communities are plagued with cheating and fraud. Scientists should recognize ethical dilemmas in the first instance, develop and plan strategies to responsibly participate in the profession, make ethically correct decisions. There is an evident need to develop an ethical framework for geosciences research and practices that can help geoscientists confronting ethical dilemmas and make them more aware of their responsibility in conducting their research.

Track 12: Environmental Issues
Evidences on environmental degradation, pollution, deforestation, soil erosion and loss of arable land, critical shortages of water, high pollution with heavy metals, the disappearance of protected as well as common animals, advancing desertification, and loss of biodiversity are overwhelmingly present in every corner of the world. Nations are failing in addressing these crises and the potential for further accelerated amplification of these issues is quite considerable. The key to prevent or reduce the effect of environmental issues is sustainability. There is now clear scientific evidence that humanity is living unsustainably. Strategies to diminish the intensity of these issues could include setting tax rates consistent with environmental targets and reducing the exemption on environmental taxes, phasing out subsidies that are environmentally damaging, creating a sound, cost-benefit analysis of proposed environmental regulations and educating and informing the public about the effects of the choices.

Track 13: Atmospheric Chemistry
Atmospheric Chemistry has as its foundation the photochemistry of the molecular constituents of air. Much of the anthropogenic impact on the atmosphere is associated with our increasing use of fossil fuels. Photochemical smog/tropospheric ozone is one serious atmospheric problem associated with burning fossil fuels. There has been a steady increase in global atmospheric levels of CO2 which, along with methane, ozone, and CFCs are "greenhouse" gases, that is, they absorb infrared radiation that is radiated out from the earth. Thus, heat that would otherwise be lost to space is trapped in the atmosphere; leading to increased average annual global temperature. There has been a global decrease in the "natural" abundance of stratospheric ozone of 3-5%. This problem of stratospheric ozone depletion is a very complex and challenging problem. A large number of different toxic pollutants are emitted into the atmosphere as a result of a variety of human activities. Many of these pose humans health risk including pesticides, PCBs, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), dioxins, and volatile organic compounds like benzene and carbon tetrachloride. Scientists in this field need to measure the atmospheric concentrations of these species, to identify and quantify the sources of these pollutants, and to determine their environmental fate.

Track 14: GIS and Remote Sensing
Of late, the field of GIS and Remote Sensing has become exciting and glamorous with rapidly expanding opportunities. GIS can use any information that includes location. The location can be expressed in many different ways, such as latitude and longitude. Putting information into GIS is called data capture. Data that are already in digital form can simply be uploaded into GIS. Biologists can use GIS to track animal migration patterns. City officials use GIS to help plan their response in the case of a natural disaster such as an earthquake or hurricane. Scientists use GIS to compare population growth to resources such as drinking water. Utilization and promotion of GIS and remote sensing as a decision support tool for disaster preparedness has commenced. Remote sensing is the science of obtaining information about objects or areas from a distance. Remote sensors collect data by detecting the energy that is reflected from Earth. These sensors can be on satellites or mounted on aircrafts. Remote sensing is increasingly finding applications in coastal management by monitoring shoreline changes, tracking sediment transport, and mapping coastal features; in ocean management by monitoring ocean circulation and current systems, measuring ocean temperature and wave heights, and tracking sea ice; hazard assessment by tracking hurricanes, earthquakes, erosion, and flooding and in natural resource management by monitoring land use, mapping wetlands, and charting wildlife habitats.

Track 15: Oceanography
Oceanography is the integration of several disciplines, comprising geology, physics, chemistry, biology, and engineering in the form they apply to the ocean. Oceanography encompasses how species adapt to environmental changes, such as increased pollution, warming waters, and natural and artificial disturbances like the eruption of an underwater volcano or a hurricane and an oil spill or overfishing respectively. Studies in physical oceanography have concluded that the amount of water flowing from the Indian Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean has increased; a process nicknamed the Agulhas leakage. The increased Agulhas leakage has been linked to global warming. The chemical composition of seawater is changing as is its effects on marine organisms, the atmosphere, and the seafloor. Ocean acidification is a key topic in oceanography. The ocean is becoming more acidic because of the increased amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Shellfish populations have declined dramatically as a result of ocean acidification. Research on finding the threshold at which shellfish are unharmed by acidification will complement other studies that aim to reduce the negative impacts of ocean acidification in shellfish and coral environments around the globe.

Track 16: Earthquakes and other Natural Hazards
Earthquakes cannot be predicted — although scientists are working on it! Interest in the possibility of a dependable method for earthquake prediction has increased among the scientific community. Other hazards, though can be predicted, cause tremendous damage to life and livelihood alike. On many occasions it has been displayed just how devastating and powerful they can be. Studies to advance the understanding and prediction of hurricanes and other tropical weather and research based on a combination of computer models, theories, and observations, (with emphasis on data obtained with research aircrafts) is continually growing for more accurate prediction of hurricanes. Wildfires may be caused naturally or due to human activity. Wildfire smoke contains a number of atmospheric pollutants that can damage human health including carbon monoxide, atmospheric mercury, ozone, volatile organic compounds and fine particulate matter. Changes in land planning (where people put homes), developing strong fire resistant materials, and landscaping with fire-resistant vegetation may prove useful in reducing fire damage. Research and development for the creation of new techniques, strategies, and applications to better estimate and forecast precipitation amounts and locations help in predicting flash floods. Novel tools using a combination of observing systems ranging from radars to satellites on a national scale help to produce better precipitation and flood forecasts.
