Present Earth Surface Processes and Long-term Environmental Changes in East Asia

Present Earth Surface Processes and Long-term Environmental Changes in East Asia

The purpose of the East Asia International Workshop is to exchange information on present earth surface processes and long-term environmental changes in East Asia for sustainable Earth and establishing mutual understanding on earth environment, especially in East Asia.

The International Workshop was initially held in Daejeon, Korea (2004), and was subsequently in Kanazawa, Japan (2005), Seoul, Korea (2006), Nanjing, China (2007), Hakodate, Japan (2008), Taipei, Taiwan (2009), Jeju Island, Korea (2010), and Chengdu, China (2011). The 9^th Workshop (2012) will be held in Kobe, Japan.

This workshop also includes the themes on “Terrestrial Environmental Changes in East Eurasia” on the basis of long continental records which have been discussed in Japan, China, Korea, Russia, and Mongolia during the past 10 years.
