Dear
IAU-Div. F members
I'm
contacting you on behalf of the SOC of the International Astronomical Union
General Assembly Symposium #374: Astronomical Hazards for Life on Earth.
The
Symposium will be part of the scientific events of the XXXIst General Assembly
of the International Astronomical Union, to be held in Busan, Rep. of Korea.
The GA will go from August 2 to 11, 2022 in a hybrid format, with in person and
virtual talks.
The IAU Symposium #374 will take part in the second week of the GA, from Aug. 9
to 11.
More
information about the Symposium can be found at:
http://hazards.astronomia.edu.uy/
and
about the GA at:
https://www.iauga2022.org/
As
you may see in the description of the Symposium, we plan to cover all potential
hazards caused by astronomical phenomena. Those hazards are connected to many
astronomical objects, like: asteroids, comets, the Sun, nearby stars,
supernovae, cosmic rays and the fate of the Universe.
In addition, we will also tackle the social, cultural and philosophical aspects
of the end of life.
To
achieve these objectives, we would like to gather a truly multi- and
cross-disciplinary set of experts, including astronomers, geologists,
paleontologists, space technicians, philosophers and media persons, who will
present the latest knowledge on those topics and address this central question
for humanity.
We
invite you to present a contributed talk on any of the subjects of the
Symposium. The contributed talks will last for 10+3 min.
Since
the topic of the Symposium is very broad, please, feel free to redistribute
this announcement to any other colleague that may be interested in the topic.
As a
participant, you have to submit your abstract and register through the GA
website.
You have the information of deadlines and registration fee at the GA webpage.
Please,
feel free to ask me any questions about the meeting.
On
behalf the SOC of IAUS#374
