Deep Earth exploration is a multi-disciplinary, complex undertaking aimed at understanding the structure, dynamics and evolution of the continents and their margins. Interactions between Earth’s tectonic plates produced the continents and oceans that characterise our planet while creating the mineral resources that support our standard of living. Active tectonic processes are also responsible for devastating hazards such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, and control Earth’s surface topography which fundamentally affects the climate, environment, and our modern life. Therefore, it is of common interest to society worldwide to study the interior of the Earth and to gain fundamental insights into how our planet operates.

After the successful 2011 ISDEL，DEEP-2018 and DEEP-2021 meetings, that were attended by hundreds of geophysicists and geologists from the USA, Canada, Brazil, Russia, Australia, Japan, Germany, Italy, Spain, Sweden, Denmark, Turkey, Poland, UK, Ireland, South Africa, India, Singapore, etc., as well as China, DEEP-2024 is continuing more open and cooperation for global geo-community with the international family of attendees included principal and co-principal investigators of international deep exploration programmes, such as COCORP and EarthScope of the United States, LithoProbe and CCArray of Canada, AGCRC of Australia, and EuroProbe, TopoEurope, and AlpArray of Europe.
