OUTLOOK WORLD CONGRESS 2011 (AUGUST, 18-23, BEIJING)
“Landscape Ecology and it’s role in sustaining culture and the environment”

China is an ancient country with a rich cultural legacy. The diversity of cultural landscapes has gained much attention from all over the world, in addition to the beautiful natural landscapes. By organizing the IALE World Congress, we wish to draw more attention from international scientists, and establish a platform for them to start cooperative research projects in China. We will welcome all IALE members and interested individuals to participate in this congress in Beijing. We expect that participants will enjoy the stimulating academic atmosphere at these meetings.

EarthScope

Many fundamental aspects of continental structure and dynamics, including those responsible for earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, are not yet well understood. This is, in part, because of the diffi culty of piecing together the results of many focused, regional studies carried out by a single investigator or a small team of investigators.
