INTERNATIONAL UNION OF GEOLOGICAL SCIENCES. (IUGS):
Introduction
The
International Union of Geological Sciences (IUGS) was founded in 1961. The objectives of the Union are to encourage the study of geoscientific
problems, particularly those of world-wide significance; facilitate international
and interdisciplinary cooperation in geology and its related sciences; provide
continuity to such cooperation; support and provide scientific sponsorship to
the quadrennial International Geological Congress. A major part of IUGS effort
goes into multidisciplinary international joint programme i.e. programmes sponsored by the IUGS and one or more other organisations.The
International Geological Correlation Programme (IGCP) is cosponsored by the UNESCO
and the IUGS. The research oriented Lithosphere Programme,
cosponsored by IUGG, ICSU and IUGS focuses on the dynamics, origin and evolution
of Earth's deep crust and upper mantle(lithosphere) and pays special attention
to the continents and their margins.
IUGS has 10 commissions and 36 affiliated organisations.
