33rd International Geological CongressOslo, Norway
In collaboration with the International Union of Geological Sciences (IUGS) and many other international and national organizations, the National IUGS Committees in the five Nordic Countries (Norden): Norway, Denmark, Finland, Iceland and Sweden, will present the 33rd International Geological Congress (IGC).
A wide range of multidisciplinary fields of research augment classical Earth Science today; geosphere-biosphere- cryosphere-atmosphere interactions are particularly important. The 33rd IGC programme highlights the need to promote interaction and integration of the Earth Sciences.
The Geoscience World Congress 2008 will span the whole field of Earth Science, binding together classical geology with geophysics, geochemistry, and the biogeosciences. It will accommodate the variety of topics that are the prime concern of the IUGS Commissions, the many other scientific bodies that traditionally meet at IGCs and those collaborating in the United Nations’ International Year of Planet Earth.
The symposia will be arranged in three categories:
- Topical: interdisciplinary global themes.
- Special: major themes concerning Norden and the Arctic.
- General: the many different disciplines composing Earth Science.
Early registration and abstract submission deadline: 1 February 2008
