It’s our pleasure to invite you to attend the symposium.

TSU with AOGS Air Pollution Working Group-RAC will host a symposium on “Remote Sensing, Air Pollution and Public Health” on 28 April 2025 at 9 AM (UTC+8).

Scholars and researchers in the field of earth sciences from Taiwan and India will share their recent research on air pollution, remote sensing, and public health impacts in Taiwan and India, share past experiences and future goals, and explore the differences in air change between the two countries and the potential for collaboration.

This is a symposium on Earth Science. All are welcome to attend.
