ISG-7 will bring together researchers, environmental managers, policy makers and graduate students to present research results, explore collaborations and to spark new ideas, with the aim of learning about the applications of geophysical sciences in various ecosystems and demonstrate their service to the society, catching up on leading-edge techniques and, lastly, appreciating the constraints of the science and the management. Discussions devoted to the future directions of geophysics that could contribute to the earth's resources development and global environment are strongly encouraged.
