Leading researchers from Asia-Oceania for Climate Change Policy Workshop in Seoul.
Many past and present UNSW PhDs from the Water Resources group attended the Asia Oceania Geosciences Society 2024 meeting in Pyeongchang, Korea. The AOGS is the Asia-Oceania equivalent to the AGU and EGU, created two decades back to highlight the growing importance the region carries in research in the Geosciences (10 of the top 15 Water Resources Universities, including UNSW, being from the region). The Climate Change Challenges Workshop was hosted at Seoul National University on the weekend before AOGS2024, drawing leading researchers in this domain from Asia and Oceania to outline how best we need to adapt our water resources infrastructure to meet the challenges of the future.
