33rd
International Geolgoical Congress |
Dear
fellow geoscientists,
Since
1878, the International Geological Congress - IGC has every
four years been the meeting place for people interested in
Earth Science, and in 2008 the Nordic countries will arrange
the 33rd International Geological Congress in Oslo, Norway.
2008 will be ‘The Year of Earth Sciences’ including
the 33rd IGC, the International Year of Planet Earth (IYPE),
and the International Polar Year (IPY). With its strong emphasis
on cross-disciplinary symposia, Earth sciences’ societal
impact, and on the Arctic, the Congress in Oslo will give
you a unique opportunity to discuss high-level science in
a broad perspective. Even with the best preparations, however,
the success of the meeting depends on your participation.
We have a vision of seeing up to 8-10 000 of you in Oslo at
the 33rd IGC, the Geoscience World Congress 2008. There are
a number of reasons for you to help us make this vision come
true:
- The
IGCs are arranged only every 4 years, and comprise the whole
gamut of the Earth Sciences. The Congress focuses on topics
which are of utmost importance for our modern society.
- The
33rd IGC will be a showcase for themes related to the International
Year of Planet Earth and the International Polar Year, and
will aim at showing the world that the Earth system sciences
are the foundation for a sustainable development.
- The
Congress will include a number of pre- and post-congress
excursions to all the Nordic countries, as well as to the
Arctic regions of Greenland and Svalbard. In addition to
great geology, you will also see magnificent scenery, created
by active geological processes.
- The
lively and international city of Oslo, founded 1000 years
ago, with its beautiful surroundings and spectacular geology.
- The
33rd IGC will be the best meeting place for geologists from
the entire world.
Since
the first IGC in 1878, the Earth Sciences have experienced
a period of increased specialisation. Now is the time for
a more holistic view on the Earth sciences and the 33rd IGC
is the best forum!
We
wish you all welcome to Oslo in 2008.
