IAGA Resolutions 1963-2005

Resolutions are a formal means for IAGA to express a view on a scientific matter, usually with the intention of influencing an external agency. Support is often expressed for new scientific initiatives under consideration by national or international agencies that will benefit IAGA science, for example. Resolutions are generally brought forward through Working Group and Divisional Business Meetings to the final meeting of the Conference of Delegates where they are debated, often amended, and either approved or rejected.

The IAGA Resolutions passed at IUGG General Assemblies and IAGA Scientific Assemblies from 1963 to 2005 have been collected together (in English only). Also included in the file are some Resolutions relevant to IAGA passed by IUGG and other scientific bodies. The file is in pdf format and may be downloaded using the link below.
