CNC/IUGG: 1999 Quadrennial Report
GEODESY AND GEOPHYSICS IN CANADA 1995-1999
QUADRENNIAL REPORT
of the
CANADIAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE
for the
INTERNATIONAL UNION OF GEODESY AND GEOPHYSICS
PREPARED on the OCCASION
of the
XXII GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE IUGG
BIRMINGHAM, UNITED KINGDOM
JULY 1999
INTRODUCTION
This report summarizes the research carried out in Canada in the fields
of geodesy and geophysics during the quadrennial 1995-1999. 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 research areas and research
progress that has been achieved in geodesy and geophysics over the
last 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 complied by, and 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 the report is only available electronically.
It is available through the web site of the CNC/IUGG at: http://www.msc-smc.ec.gc.ca/cnc/CNC.html.
