INTERNATIONAL UNION OF GEODESY AND GEOPHYSICS(IUGG)
Introduction
Established
in 1919. Dedicated to scientific study of Earth and applications of the knowledge gained by the such studies to the needs of the society, such as mineral resources, reduction of effects
of natural hazards and environmental preservation. The objectives of IUGG are the promotion and coordination of physical, chemical
and mathematical studies of the Earth and its environment in space. These studies include the shape of the Earth, its gravitational and magnetic
fields, the dynamics of the Earth as a whole and of its component parts, Earth's internal structure, composition and tectonics, the generation
of magmas, volcanism and rock formation, the hydrological cycle including
snow
and ice, all aspects of ocean, the atmosphere, ionosphere, magnetosphere and solar-terrestrial
relations, and analogous problems associated with the Moon and other planets. Union activities embrace studies of the Earth
by artificial satellites and other techniques for deploying instruments at high
altitutde.
The Union comprises seven semi-autonomous Associations,
each responsible for a specific range of topics or themes within the overall scope
of the Union's activities and each with
a sub-structure.
