The 27th IUGG General Assembly will be held July 8-18, 2019 at the Palais des Congrès in Montréal, Québec, Canada. This is a special opportunity for participants from Canada and from around the world to come together and share their science and culture. 2019 marks the 100th anniversary of IUGG; an opportunity to look back on the accomplishments of the previous century of Earth and space science research, and forward to the next century of scientific advancement.

The conference includes a host of scientific activities, including special public lectures, keynote Union lectures and a wide variety of themed sessions.

In conjunction with the IUGG General Assembly, a number of scientific workshops and cultural events are planned, as well as the chance to explore the geological treasures of our region through a number of field trips ranging from half-day to multi-day excursions.

Torill Hamre (NERSC) will take part in the conference, presenting her research on Developing a Standards-based Data Catalogue for an Integrated Pan-Arctic Observation System.
