Conference Introduction

Introduction

The lithosphere, atmosphere, ionosphere, and magnetosphere of the Earth are coupled, particularly in the periods surrounding major natural hazards such as earthquakes, volcanoes, and tsunamis. Research into the prediction and early warning of these coupled systems presents an opportunity to safeguard human life and property while also offering insights into the complexities of geospheric interactions.

The International Conference for Coupling of Earth's Spheres (ICES) aims to gather leading scientists and researchers from around the globe to discuss cutting-edge issues related to the prediction, early warning, and nowcasting of natural disasters. The conference will emphasize key topics, including the interaction mechanisms among the Earth's various spheres and advancements in disaster prediction and early warning technologies. By fostering interdisciplinary cooperation and exchange, the conference seeks to advance the field of Earth science and contribute to the creation of a safer and more sustainable global environment
