IAMG - Asociación Internacional para las Geociencias Matemáticas

We introduce the International Association for Mathematical Geosciences (IAMG) from its origins to the present and summarize the means by which is fulfilling its mission. The IAMG was set up in Prague in 1968 with the intention of “promoting throughout the world the advancement of mathematics, statistics and informatics in the Geosciences”. It is a non-profit organisation that includes among its members researchers, teachers, professionals and students dedicated to mathematical and statistical Applications in all branches of the earth sciences. The IAMG publishes three major journals and a newsletter and organises a yearly conference, whist at the same time supporting many others. It bestows 4 biannual prizes that recognise outstanding achievements in its field, organises a distinguished lecturer series, and encourages Young researchers by providing Student research and travel funds and promoting Student societies. The IAMG celebrated its 40tn anniversary in Oslo, Norway, in 2008 and continues to be a venue for a vast array of researchers in this broad field by providing a common driving force for their activities
