Toward the 38th IGC in Calgary (Canada)
The International Union of Geological Sciences (IUGS) was founded in 1961.
With 121 national members, representing over a million geoscientists, it is one of the World’s largest scientific organizations.
It encourages international co-operation and participation in the Earth Sciences in relation to human welfare and is a member of the International Science Council (ISC).
Membership is open to countries or defined regions. IUGS believes that it is of mutual benefit to establish close links with other organizations engaged in geoscience activities, especially the organizations whose work relates to some of the major activities of IUGS.
