2011 International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics (IUGG)
Earth on the Edge: Science for a Sustainable Planet
28 June - 7 July 2011
Melbourne Convention & Exhibition Centre
Melbourne, Australia
IUGG 2011 will be held from 28 June – 7 July 2011 at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre. The General Assembly will be marked by a scientific program of outstanding plenary speakers, a comprehensive program of state of the art symposia organised by each IUGG association, a compelling keynote speakers program, and the highlight of IUGG conferences, an inter-disciplinary, inter-association program of symposia addressing major scientific issues of global and regional significance and concern.
The tragedy of the recent earthquakes Haiti and Chilean anomalous weather patterns world-wide, the on-going catastrophe of cyclones, the enormous loss of life after the Indian Ocean and Samoan tsunamis, and the heartbreak of the 2009 bush fires and 2010/11 floods in Australia – serve as a timely reminder of how much we still need to learn about our changing planet. IUGG 2011 will address some of these issues, and it is arguably the most important international multi-disciplinary conference to be able to do so because of the breadth and depth of the expertise of its eight participating scientific associations.
