Dear Colleagues,
on behalf of the International Commission on the History of Geological Sciences (INHIGEO), I would like to invite you to an online special event, which will take place on Saturday, 8 October 2022, from 1.30pm to 4.00pm (CET).
The roots of a geological Union for the future of the Earth. How the histories of the International Geological Congress reveal the pivotal debates for the birth and the future role of the International Union of Geological Sciences (IUGS).
This virtual roundtable, organized by INHIGEO in collaboration with the IUGS@60 Team, as part of the celebrations for the 60th anniversary of the IUGS, will concern the history of the International Geological Congress (IGC) within the development of the geosciences from the late 19th century to the end of the 20th century. The aim of this event is also to emphasize and discuss the role of the IGCs for the idea of the foundation of the IUGS and for its development from the 1960s onward.
Moderators: Ezio Vaccari (INHIGEO President) and Martina Kölbl-Ebert (INHIGEO Secretary-General)
Opening address: John Ludden (IUGS President)
Speakers: Beris Cox (UK), Marianne Klemun (Austria), Kathleen Histon (Ireland), Philippe Le Vigouroux (France), Zdeňka Petáková (Czech Republic), David Orenstein (Canada), Toshihiro Yamada (Japan), Jiuchen Zhang (China).
