UNION GÉODÉSIQUE ET GÉOPHYSIQUE INTERNATIONALE HISTORIQUE BACKGROUND L'Union Géodésique et Géophysique Internationale (UGGI) The International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics (IUGG) est un organisme international non gouvernemental à but is an international, non-governmental, non-profit non lucratif fondé à Bruxelles le 28 juillet 1919. L'UGGI se organization established in Brussels on 28 July 1919. IUGG consacre à l'étude scientifique de la Terre et à l'utilisation is dedicated to the scientific study of the Earth and the au profit de la société des connaissances acquises grâce à application of knowledge gained by such studies to benefit cette étude. L'UGGI est l'une des trois Unions scientifiques society. IUGG was one of the first three Scientific Unions ayant participé en 1931 à l'Assemblée constitutive du established during the Constitutive Assembly of the Conseil international des recherches, devenu ensuite le International Research Council, the predecessor of the Conseil international des unions scientifiques (CIUS) en International Council of Scientific Unions (ICSU) created in 1996, devenu enfin Conseil international pour la science 1931, known as the International Council for Science since (CIS) en 2018. Le CIS est un forum planétaire des 1996, and as the International Science Council (ISC) since scientifiques, qui leur permet d'échanger des idées et des 2018. ISC provides a global forum for scientists to exchange informations, promeut la science en tant que bien public ideas and information, advances science as a global public universel, et exprime l’expression universelle de la science. good, and presents a global voice of science. IUGG brings L'UGGI fournit son savoir-faire concernant les sciences de to ISC expertise on Earth studies from researchers in its la Terre effectuées par les chercheurs dans ses Associations International Associations and Inter-Association internationales et Commissions inter-associations.

Au début, l'Union chapeautait six sections : Géodésie, The original Union encompassed six Sections: Geodesy, Séismologie, Météorologie, Magnétisme et électricité Seismology, Meteorology, Magnetism and Terrestrial terrestre, Océanographie physique et Volcanologie. Une Electricity, Physical Oceanography, and Volcanology. A septième section, «Hydrologie Scientifique», fut créée en seventh section "Scientific Hydrology" was created in 1922. 1922. Le terme «Section» fut remplacé par celui The term "Section" was replaced by "Association" at the 5th d’«Association» lors de la cinquième Assemblée générale General Assembly held in Lisbon in 1933.
