IUGS@60 CELEBRATIONS
Over the past 60 years, the geoscience community has achieved remarkable things. We plan to celebrate many of the extraordinary scientific breakthroughs made by our members over the past decades and aim to showcase the societal benefits IUGS has brought to the world. Our anniversary events will span the whole of 2022. Many of the celebratory activities planned will showcase Planet Earth, the important scientific work undertaken by our members and will explore pathways towards achieving a more sustainable planet. We look forward to a prosperous IUGS@90! We value your thoughts and ideas and will be asking all members for their input on how to make this year a joyous occasion for the geological community and all citizens joining our celebration events.
