The IUGS Task Group on Global Geoscience Professionalism (TG-GGP), of which AIG is a member, is seeking papers for inclusion in the TG-GGP sessions at the upcoming International Geological Congress in South Africa.

The topic of sexual harassment in science has been attracting considerable media attention in recent months, focussed on a prominent case in the United States which resulted in the International Astronomical Union adopting anti-harassment guidelines in February 2016.

The issue was also a subject for discussion at the American Geophysical Union’s Fall meeting last December, and recent articles in Science, Nature, and New Scientist.

Please contact the TG-GGP Secretariat if you wish to contribute.

The purpose of the Task Group on Global Geoscience Professionalsim (TGGGP) to ensure that geoscientists, engaged in all areas of geoscience, are fully engaged in the transformation of their profession; a profession that is increasingly relied upon by the public to provide expert opinion and service, and to safe-guard the public interest.
