2. Deadline reminder for Bids for the 2007 IUGG General Assembly
The Call for Invitations to host the 2007 General Assembly was issued in
September 2001. Bids are now being accepted and must be received by
December 31, 2002. As a point of interest, the 2007 Assembly will mark
the 50th Anniversary of the International Geophysical Year, and suitable
celebrations are being planned. The guidelines for a proposal are
posted on the IUGG website, or can be received directly from the IUGG
Secretariat. The IUGG Council, at their 2003 meeting in Sapporo, will
make the final selection.
3. Updates needed for the 2003 IUGG Yearbook
Corrections and updates to the information contained in the IUGG Yearbook
are now in progress in preparation for the 2003 Yearbook. The IUGG
Secretariat will be contacting all Adhering Bodies, National Committees,
and Association Secretaries-General within the next few weeks in order
to confirm changes already received, and to request other additions and
corrections. Updates are needed by November 28.
4. Dr. A.J. Smith is the IUGG representative to the URSI General
Assembly in Maastricht, Netherlands
The Union Radio Scientifique Internationale (URSI) invited IUGG to send a
delegate to the opening ceremony of their General Assembly in
Maastricht, The Netherlands, Aug 17-24, 2002. President Kono appointed
Dr. A.J. Smith (U.K.), chair of the joint IAGA/URSI Working Group on
VLF/ELF Remote Sensing of the Ionosphere and Magnetosphere, to represent
IUGG.
5. First Business Meeting of EMSEV (Electromagnetic Studies of
Earthquakes and Volcanoes) to be held September 6
EMSEV is a new Inter-Associations working group jointly organized by the
International Associations of Geomagnetism and Aeronomy (IAGA),
Seismology and Physics of the Earth's Interior (IASPEI), and Volcanology
and Chemistry of the Earth's Interior (IAVCEI). The Chair of EMSEV is
Dr. S. Uyeda (Japan). Approved by the IUGG Executive Meeting in 2001 and
jointly funded by contributions from each of the sponsoring
Associations, EMSEV will hold its first business meeting on Sept. 6, in
Moscow, Russia, just after the 3rd International Workshop on Magnetic,
Electric and Electromagnetic Methods in Seismology and Volcanology. The
meeting is open to anybody interested.
