The International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics

The International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics (IUGG) is a global organization that promotes scientific research related to Earth's physical properties, such as its shape, gravity, earthquakes, and climate. It brings together scientists from around the world to share knowledge, collaborate on studies, and advance understanding of Earth's processes. Founded in 1922, IUGG supports interdisciplinary efforts to address environmental challenges and improve our knowledge of the planet's structure, dynamics, and natural hazards. Its work helps inform policies and technologies that benefit society by increasing our understanding of Earth's complex systems.
