The International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics (IUGG; Template:Langx, UGGI) is an international non-governmental organization dedicated to the scientific study of Earth and its space environment using geophysical and geodetic techniques. The IUGG is a member of the International Science Council (ISC), which is composed of international scholarly and scientific institutions and national academies of sciences.

History

Script error: No such module "Unsubst". The IUGG was established in Brussels, Belgium in 1919.[1][2][3][4][5]

Objectives

IUGG's objectives are the promotion and coordination of studies related to Earth's physical, chemical and mathematical representation. This includes geometrical shape, internal structure, gravity and magnetic fields, seismicity, volcanism, hydrologic cycle, glaciers, oceans, atmosphere, ionosphere, and magnetosphere of Earth. It also includes solar, lunar and planetary studies.[6] Some areas within its scope are environmental preservation, reduction of the effects of natural hazards, and mineral resources.

Structures

The IUGG consists of eight semi-autonomous associations:[7]

It has also established six commissions to promote interdisciplinary problems:[8]

  • Climatic and Environmental Changes (CCEC)
  • Mathematical Geophysics (CMG)
  • Geophysical Risk and Sustainability (GRC)
  • Study of the Earth's Deep Interior (SEDI)
  • Data and Information (UCDI)
  • Planetary Sciences (UCPS)

and the Union Working Group on History.
