The event is organized by the Department of Geophysics, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Universitas Padjadjaran, Indonesia. This conference is aimed to gather national and international researchers to identify issues and problems on the subject in order to propose ideas and find solutions. The contributed talks consist of topics ranging from geophysics, geochemistry, geology, to environmental and earth-related sciences. In this occasion, we encouraged as well researchers from environmental health and social sciences to contribute. PEDISGI 2018 conference was organized as a part of the Conference Series of Universitas Padjadjaran on environment-related topics.In line with the program of the Indonesian Government on river restoration, especially around Bandung and the West Java region, we selected for the 2018 event a special theme ?River: Welfare or Disaster? as the topic of discussion scheduled for the Symposium?s Dialogues event.The organizer hopes that the conference will give impact and scientific contributions to the community, and promote awareness on earth and environment problems.
