CNC/IUGG: 1995 Quadrennial Report

 

Geodesy and Geophysics in Canada 1991 - 1995

 Quadrennial Report of the Canadian National Committee for the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics

 Prepared on the occasion of the XXI General Assembly of the IUGG
Boulder, Colorado, U.S.A.
July 1995

This report summarizes the research carried out in Canada in the fields of geodesy and geophysics during the quadrennium 1991 - 1995. It was prepared under the direction of the Canadian National Committee for the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics (CNC/IUGG). The CNC/IUGG is administered by the Canadian Geophysical Union, in consultation with the Canadian Meteorological and Oceanographic Society and other Canadian scientific organizations including the Canadian Association of Physicists, the Geological Association of Canada, and the Canadian Institute of Geomatics. The IUGG adhering organization for Canada is the National Research Council of Canada.

 Among other duties, the CNC/IUGG is responsible for:

  • collecting and reconciling the many views of the constituent Canadian scientific community on relevant issues
  • identifying, representing, and promoting the capabilities and distinctive competence of the community on the international stage
  • enhancing the depth and breadth of the participation of the community in the activities and events of the IUGG and related organizations
  • establishing the mechanisms for communicating to the community the views of the IUGG and information about the activities of the IUGG.
The aim of this report is to communicate to both the Canadian and international scientific communities the considerable progress that has been achieved in geodesy and geophysics research in Canada over the past four years.

 The report is divided into seven sections - one for each of the seven major scientific disciplines as represented by the seven sister societies of the IUGG. Each section is titled with the name of the corresponding society and was compiled by, or under the direction of, a member of the CNC/IUGG affiliated with that society.

 In the interest of compiling and disseminating this report in a timely fashion, no attempt has been made to harmonize the styles of the different sections.

 The full text of this report, including the extensive lists of publications and presentations, is only available electronically.
