Under the auspices of the National Committee for Earth Sciences, the Academy’s Liaison Committee for the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics (IUGG) provides a regular update about the activities of IUGG and its associations which may be of particular interest to scientific communities in Australia, and also includes local news and information on relevant funding opportunities, conferences and awards. The activities and interests of IUGG and its associations span the Earth system and its space environment. The update provides a way to bring these diverse communities together to foster engagement and discussion.
The International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics is responsible for advancing, promoting and communicating the knowledge of the Earth system, its space environment, and the dynamical processes responsible for change. With its constituent associations the IUGG organises 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.
The first issue of this newsletter will be released in June. Please subscribe to this newsletter to keep up to date on the news, opportunities and events related to IUGG and its associations, with a local focus.
The National Committee for Space and Radio Science provides a regular update about international scientific unions and committees, news from the local scientific community, and information on relevant funding opportunities, conferences and awards. The update is providing a way to keep the community informed on the progress of the strategic plan for space science, which is currently being prepared by the committee.
Development of the plan is being informed by the activities of 11 working groups and through extensive community consultation. Details are available at www.science.org.au/space, including the opportunity to contribute to consultation.
All issues of the committee’s update are available on the Academy website. To keep up to date with the news, events and opportunities in space and radio science please subscribe to receive the update.
