IUGG 2011 Scientific Program

Welcome from Scientific Program Chair

Welcome to the Scientific Program of 2011 International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics (IUGG) General Assembly. On behalf of the Scientific Program Committee I hope you find the proposed program exciting and a great way to discuss areas of science that are both of direct interest to you and which also extend your horizons.

Dr Peter Manins
Chair, Scientific Program Committee

Introduction

The 2011 Scientific Program of IUGG includes three categories of symposia and a number of workshops on a wide range of geophysical themes. These include:

• Union Symposia which cover a wide range of themes of concern to the eight Associations. Invited speakers feature in these Symposia, supported by poster presentations selected by the convenors from those submitted. Several of the Union Symposia are expanded or followed in greater depth in Joint Symposia or in Association Symposia

• Lead Symposia with keynote speakers and scientists whose presentations (which consist of oral and poster presentations) are accepted by the session convenors. The themes have been devised by at least two Associations, one of which is the lead Association. Some Joint Symposia are developed further separately in Association Symposia and Workshops.

• Association Symposia with keynote speakers and scientists whose presentations (which consist of oral and poster presentations) are accepted by the session convenors. The eight ( 8 ) Associations are:
  • IACS International Association of Cryospheric Sciences
  • IAG International Association of Geodesy
  • IAGA International Association of Geomagnetism and Aeronomy
  • IAHS International Association of Hydrological Sciences
  • IAMAS International Association of Meteorology and Atmospheric Science
  • IAPSO International Association for the Physical Sciences of the Ocean
  • IASPEI International Association of Seismology and Physics of the Earth’s Interior
  • IAVCEI International Association of Volcanology and Chemistry of the Earth's Interior

Outline of Program

The Scientific Program will run from Tuesday 28 June until Thursday 7 July. Each day will consist of four 90 minute sessions and one poster session (excluding the first Tuesday and the second Thursday). The Tuesday afternoon session of the first week will be the opening ceremony,  the Thursday afternoon session of the second week is the closing ceremony, and three morning sessions will have plenary presentations.
