International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics: 27th General Assembly Conference

"Beyond 100: The next century in Earth and Space Science"

The 27th IUGG General Assembly will be held July 8-18, 2019 at the Palais des Congrès in Montréal, Québec,Canada. This is a special opportunity for participants from Canada and from around the world to come together and share their science and culture. 2019 marks the 100th anniversary of IUGG; we will look back on the accomplishments of the previous century of Earth and space science research, and forward to the next century of scientific advancement. Join us for a host of scientific activities, including special public lectures, keynote Union lectures and a wide variety of themed sessions.

Disciplines represented within IUGG include: Cryosphere,Geodesy, Geomagnetism and Aeronomy, Hydrology,Meteorology and Atmospheric sciences, Physical Sciences of the Oceans, Seismology and Physics of the Earth's Interior,Volcanology and Chemistry of the Earth's interior. The conference is also partnered by two Canadian Earth Science societies.

Hosts

International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics (IUGG)

Canadian Geophysical Union (CGU)

Canadian Meteorological and Oceanographic Society(CMOS)

In partnership with professional conference organisers JPdL International and C-IN

U05: New Discoveries in Earth’s Deep Interior

U06: Recent Advances and Discoveries in Planetary Science and Comparative Planetology

U07: Centennial of the International Cooperation in Earth Sciences

U08: Earth and Space Observations

U09: Celebrating Early Career Scientists

Over 60 joint symposia-topics of multidisciplinary interest

Examples:

JC01-Projecting sea level in the 21stCentury and beyond
