Abstract

Abstract. The International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics (IUGG) has vigorously responded to a number of the natural, scientific, and technological challenges and driving forces that have marked the 21st century thus far. This paper reviews the actions of the Union that were precipitated by disasters caused by natural hazard events, climatic and environmental changes, and important scientific advances, as well as the opportunities to support International Years and other cooperative programs. This period has also given rise to a number of structural changes within the Union. IUGG added an eighth association, the International Association of Cryospheric Sciences, and inaugurated the new categories of affiliate and honorary memberships, introduced new grants, science education, and recognition programs, and formed new Union commissions on climatic and environmental change, data and information, planetary sciences, and a working group on history. Electronic communication was welcomed as a cultural norm. Overall, the development of the scientific landscape in the 21st century and a healthy future for the Union requires emphasis on fundamental Earth and space sciences as well as on transdisciplinary science to resolve urgent problems of society. IUGG will continue to evolve throughout the coming decades in step with the changing world of science and its international organizations, by responding to challenging problems as they arise.

21世纪的IUGG

摘要国际大地测量和地球物理联合会（IUGG）积极应对了迄今为止标志着21世纪的许多自然、科学和技术挑战和驱动力。本文回顾了自然灾害事件、气候和环境变化、重要的科学进步以及支持国际年和其他合作项目的机会所引发的灾难所引发的联盟行动。这一时期也引发了欧盟内部的一些结构性变化。国际冰冻科学联合会增加了第八个协会，即国际冰冻科学协会，并启动了新的附属会员和荣誉会员类别，引入了新的拨款、科学教育和表彰计划，并成立了新的气候和环境变化、数据和信息、行星科学联盟委员会和历史工作组。电子通信作为一种文化规范受到欢迎。总的来说，21世纪科学景观的发展和联盟的健康未来需要强调基础地球和太空科学以及跨学科科学，以解决社会的紧迫问题。IUGG将在未来几十年继续发展，以应对科学世界及其国际组织不断变化的挑战性问题。

期刊介绍： The scope of History of Geo- and Space Sciences (HGSS) is to document historical facts and knowledge and to improve awareness of the history of geoscience. The knowledge of the development of geosciences and their experimental methods and theories in the past can improve our current understanding and may stimulate current research. It is encouraging for young scientists to read biographical material of historical figures in their research area. It is important as well to learn that history of science is an integrated part of the ongoing research in their research area. Another important aim of the journal is the association of historical retrospective and current research.
