US National Committee for IUGG Support of the Secretariat

首席研究员将作为国际大地测量学与地球物理联合会（IUGG）秘书长，领导并协助IUGG促进和协调地球及其空间环境的物理、化学和数学研究。这些研究涉及与整个地球动力学等有关的若干重要科学过程；海洋、大气和电离层的各个方面；地球的内部结构；火山作用和岩石形成；以及水文循环。这些研究中有许多对富有成效的全球尺度跨学科研究项目做出了贡献，如世界气候研究项目（WCRP）；国际地圈-生物圈方案；以及国际减少自然灾害十年。PI将担任IUGG的秘书长。她将协调国际ugg局的活动，该局负责管理国际ugg的所有事务，包括为国际ugg的科学目标制定指导方针。需要支持的具体活动包括开发、维护和更新IUGG数据库，特别是电子格式；设计、编制和分发国际ugg出版物；并协助国际ugg新闻发布。

The principal investigator will, as Secretary-General of the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics (IUGG), will provide leadership for and assist the IUGG to promote and coordinate physical, chemical, and mathematical studies of the Earth and its environment in space. These studies address a number of important scientific processes related to, inter alia, the dynamics of the Earth as a whole; all aspects of the oceans, the atmosphere and ionosphere; the Earth's internal structure; volcanism and rock formation; and the hydrological cycle. Many of these studies contribute to productive global-scale interdisciplinary research programs, such as the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP); the International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme (IGBP); and the International Decade for Natural Disaster Reduction. The PI will serve as Secretary-General of the IUGG. She will coordinate activities of the IUGG Bureau which manages all affairs of the Union, including development of guidance for the IUGG's scientific objectives. Specific activities to be supported include development, maintenance, and updating of an IUGG database, especially in electronic format; design, preparation and distribution of IUGG publications; and assistance with IUGG news releases.
