Abstract

To commemorate the 60th anniversary of IUGS and the 50th anniversary of IGCP, the 2022 symposium entitled “IUGS, Geoparks, and IGCP – Retrospection, today and the future” was coordinated at the GAC-MAC-IAH-CNC-CSPG 2022 Conference in Halifax (16–18 May) with the companion Cliffs of Fundy UNESCO Geopark field trip (19–21 May). Canadian leadership within IUGS and IGCP includes J.M. Harrison as the first president of IUGS in 1961, Antony Berger’s work publishing “Episodes”, which is the IUGS’ quarterly international scientific journal, and Canadian leadership on multiple IGCP projects summarized here. Two panel discussions examined the future of geosciences, UNESCO Geoparks and World Geoheritage Sites in Canada. The need for improved communications with politicians, policymakers, and the general public through education and outreach was emphasized in these panel discussions. UNESCO Geoparks (such as the Cliffs of Fundy), UNESCO World Heritage Geosites and significant museum displays represent vehicles for improving communications with the general public about geosciences and potentially inspiring future geoscientists. This report provides a summary of the symposium and explores some of the many themes that it addressed.

加拿大与国际地质科学联合会、联合国教科文组织国际地质对比计划地质公园和世界遗产地质公园合作开展的地球科学外交活动：过去、现在和未来

为纪念国际地质科学联合会（IUGS）成立 60 周年和国际地质对比计划（IGCP）成立 50 周年，在哈利法克斯举行的 GAC-MAC-IAH-CNC-CSPG 2022 年会议（5 月 16-18 日）上协调举办了题为 "国际地质科学联合会、地质公园和国际地质对比计划--回顾、今天和未来 "的 2022 年专题讨论会，同时还进行了芬迪悬崖教科文组织地质公园实地考察（5 月 19-21 日）。加拿大在国际地质科学联合会（IUGS）和国际地球科学计划（IGCP）中发挥的领导作用包括：J.M. Harrison 于 1961 年担任国际地质科学联合会（IUGS）首任主席；Antony Berger 出版国际地质科学联合会（IUGS）国际科学季刊《集萃》；以及加拿大在多个国际地球科学计划项目中发挥的领导作用。两场小组讨论探讨了加拿大地质科学、联合国教科文组织地质公园和世界地质遗产地的未来。这些小组讨论强调了通过教育和外联加强与政治家、政策制定者和公众沟通的必要性。联合国教科文组织地质公园（如芬迪悬崖）、联合国教科文组织世界地质遗产以及重要的博物馆展示，都是改善与公众就地球科学进行交流的工具，并有可能激励未来的地球科学家。本报告概述了研讨会的情况，并探讨了研讨会讨论的许多主题中的一些主题。

期刊介绍： Established in 1974, Geoscience Canada is the main technical publication of the Geological Association of Canada (GAC). We are a quarterly journal that emphasizes diversity of material, and also the presentation of informative technical articles that can be understood not only by specialist research workers, but by non-specialists in other branches of the Earth Sciences. We aim to be a journal that you want to read, and which will leave you better informed, rather than more confused.
