Keywords:SDGs, Earth Sciences, Interdisciplinary Geosciences

The Asian Oceania Geosciences Society is one of the organizations in Asia that recognizes and works towards reaching the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through science cooperation. AOGS founded the Interdisciplinary Geosciences Section,which aims to collaborate with scientists studying geoscience in different disciplines,especially in sustainable approaches and studies. We are concerned with issues that can help the regional societies achieve more sustainable, safe, and resilien tinfrastructure through the application of earth science technology and observations.One of our recent missions is to promote SDGs through geoscience research efforts. Since 2020, SDGs video contests have been held every year for students and members to promote awareness of the SDGs to the geoscience society and the general public. Participants can upload their videos to Youtube and have them evaluated by invited judges. Through new media broadcasting abilities, we hope not only to promote SDGs awareness to the public but also to recognize and promote research groups in geosciences over the Asian-Oceania region for their contribution to the SDGs.
