International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics (IUGG)

The International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics (IUGG) is a global organization that brings together scientists studying Earth-related fields, including geodesy (the measurement and understanding of Earth's geometric shape and gravitational field) and geophysics (the study of Earth's physical properties and processes). Founded in 1919, IUGG promotes international cooperation in research and education, facilitating knowledge exchange and advancements in understanding natural phenomena like earthquakes, climate change, and ocean dynamics. It supports conferences, publications, and initiatives that enhance scientific collaboration and inform policies related to Earth sciences.
