Geohazards pose a significant threat to human lives and cause substantial economic and financial damage annually. The monitoring, analysis, and prediction of these hazards are crucial for effective disaster prevention and mitigation. In light of this, we are delighted to announce the 2nd International Symposium on Geo-Hazards Perception, Cognition and Prediction (ISGHPCP), to be held from October 26-28, 2024, in Changsha, China.

Hosted by Central South University (CSU) and organized by the School of Geosciences and Info-Physics in conjunction with the Laboratory of Geo-Hazards Perception, Cognition, and Prediction, this symposium will serve as a premier forum for experts, scholars, and researchers to exchange ideas and discuss recent advancements in geo-hazard studies.

The ISGHPCP aims to bring together a diverse group of international participants, including researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and Ph.D students, to explore cutting-edge developments in understanding and predicting geo-hazards. The event will highlight interdisciplinary approaches that integrate earth sciences, artificial intelligence, and data science to enhance our capacity to perceive, comprehend, and forecast geological and environmental risks.

Abstract Guidelines: Authors are invited to submit a one-page English abstract. The abstract limit is one page but must have at least 300 words. No full-length paper is required. The abstract should explain clearly the content and relevance of the proposed scientific and technical contribution. On a separate page list the following information: (1) Title of the paper, (2) Name, affiliation, and email of each author, (3) Corresponding author and Presenting author, (4) Topic or Session Organizer. The abstract submission and pre-registration deadline is 30 September 2024.
