Oslo, Norway

Geoscience World Congress 2008

“Earth System Science: Foundation for Sustainable Development”

In collaboration with the International Union of Geological Sciences (IUGS) and
many other international and national organisations, the National IUGS
Committees in the five Nordic Countries (Norden): Norway, Denmark, Finland,
Iceland and Sweden, hereby invite you to join the 2008 Congress.

Introduction to the Programme:

Earth System Science
A wide range of multidisciplinary fields of research augment classical Earth Science
today; geosphere-biospherecryosphere- atmosphere interactions are particularly
important. The 33rd IGC programme highlights the need to promote interaction
and integration of the Earth Sciences. Hence the concept of this IGC as the
Geoscience World Congress 2008.

The Geoscience World Congress 2008 will span the whole field of Earth Science,
binding together classical geology with geophysics, geochemistry, and the biogeosciences. We will accommodate the variety of topics that are the prime
concern of the IUGS Commissions, the many other scientific bodies that
traditionally meet at IGCs and those collaborating in the United Nations’
International Year of Planet Earth.
