US National Committee for IUGG Support of the Secretariat

国际大地测量学与地球物理学联合会（大地测量联合会）秘书长将获得为期两年的支助。 在此期间，秘书长将担任IUGG主席团成员。 IUGG的首要科学目标是提高对七个地球科学学科的科学认识，同时努力确保在IUGG大伞下进行的研究成果能够应用于重要的社会和经济需求，如自然灾害产生的需求。水文学（IAHS）;气象学和大气科学（IAMAS）;海洋物理学（IAPSO）;地震学和地球内部物理学（IASPEI）;火山学和地球内部化学（IAVCEI）这些协会将召开各种会议，从大型国际会议和专题讨论会到小型重点科学讲习班和规划会议，会议. 这些协会将鼓励所有国家的科学家充分参加这些国际会议，并将大力鼓励和促进科学数据和成果的充分国际交流。IUGG及其协会将继续为发展中国家的科学家提供与美国和其他工业化经济体的同行交流的机会。 秘书长还将担任IUGG和IUGG美国国家委员会之间的联络人，从而帮助在美国国家委员会和IUGG之间建立特别有效的沟通。

The Secretary-General of the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics (IUGG) will be supported for a two-year period. The Secretary-General (SG) will function as a member of the IUGG Bureau over this period. The IUGG has the overarching scientific objective of improving scientific understanding in seven geosciences disciplines while at the same time working to assure that the results of the research that is conducted under the broad IUGG umbrellas can be applied to important societal and economic needs such as those generated by natural hazards.The seven IUGG International Associations address geodesy (IAG); geomagnetism and aeronomy IAGA); hydrological sciences IAHS); meteorology and atmospheric sciences (IAMAS); the physical sciences of the ocean (IAPSO); seismology and the physics of the Earth's interior (IASPEI); and volcanology and the chemistry of the Earth's interior (IAVCEI).These associations will convene meetings ranging from large international conferences and symposia to small focused scientific workshops and planning meetings. The associations will encourage full access by scientists from all countries to such international meetings and will strongly encourage and promote full international exchange of scientific data and results.The IUGG and its associations will continue to provide opportunities for scientists from developing countries to interact with their colleagues in the U.S. and other industrialized economies. The Secretary-General will also serve as a liaison between the IUGG and the U.S. National Committee for the IUGG, thus helping to build especially effective communications between the U.S. National Committee and the IUGG.
