Welcome to International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics!

Mission

The International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics (IUGG) is the international organization dedicated to advancing, promoting, and communicating knowledge of the Earth system, its space environment, and the dynamical processes causing change.

Through its constituent Associations, Commissions, and services, IUGG convenes international assemblies and workshops, undertakes research, assembles observations, gains insights, coordinates activities, liaises with other scientific bodies, plays an advocacy role, contributes to education, and works to expand capabilities and participation worldwide.

International Cooperation in Geodesy and Geophysics

Research cooperation in geodesy and geophysics is, by its very nature, international and brings together scientists from and to various parts of the world to investigate and hence to understand our Earth and its environment. Knowledge and data on the earth system gained during international research cooperation provide the information necessary for the discovery and responsible use of natural resources, sustainable management of the environment, reducing the impact of natural hazards, and to satisfy our curiosity about the Earth's natural environment and the consequences of human activities (more)
