Satellites provide valuable scientific data for global positioning networks, weather studies, and studies of the near-space environment.

Members

By their very nature, geodetic and geophysical studies require a high degree of international co-operation as well as effective central co-ordination. IUGG is fortunate in having 65 Member Adhering Bodies (see listing linked below). The Members are distributed throughout the world.

The great majority of Member Adhering Bodies participate through IUGG National Committees set up by the national academy or another body in their country that adheres to the Union (though other methods of adherence do occur). Each IUGG National Committee is represented at the IUGG General Assemblies by a Delegate appointed by its Adhering Body.
