Oceans are truly frontiers of scientific pursuit.  They are the major driving forces of global climate system and the least explored and understood environment and resources on earth. Marine industry also is an important economic pillar for coastal cities such as Hong Kong and Macau, and sustainable utilization of ocean resources demands high-quality talent as well as sophisticated technology.


The forum theme will be “Earth System Science for Climate Change, Carbon Neutrality and Blue Economy”. In this scientific meeting, we will discuss the following topics:

(1) Coupled Atmosphere-Ocean Dynamics and Climate Change
(2) Biogeochemical Cycles in Ocean-Land-Atmospheric System and Carbon Neutrality
(3) Ocean Technology, Digital-Twin and Blue Economy
(4) Earth System Study in the Greater Bay Area
