        IAPSO call for sessions 

        First circular

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic it has been decided that there will be no IAMAS-IACS-IAPSO face-to-face meeting in Busan in July 2021. We are currently investigating the options to hold a virtual meeting.


The International Association for the Physical Sciences of the Oceans (IAPSO) is one of eight Associations of the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics (IUGG) which, in turn, is one of the 40 scientific Unions and Associations presently grouped within the International Science Council (ISC).

IAPSO has the prime goal of "promoting the study of scientific problems relating to the oceans and the interactions taking places at the sea floor, coastal, and atmospheric boundaries insofar as such research is conducted by the use of mathematics, physics, and chemistry." IAPSO has addressed this goal through four fundamental objectives:

  1. Organize, sponsor, and co-sponsor formal and informal international forums permitting ready means of communication amongst ocean scientists throughout the world;
  2. Establish commissions, sub-committees, and organize commensurate workshops to encourage, stimulate, and coordinate new and advanced international research activities;
  3. Provide basic services significant to the conduct of physical oceanography, and
  4. Publish proceedings of symposia, meetings, and workshops, and fundamental references on the current state-of-the art and knowledge of physical oceanography. 

IAPSO participates in ISC's Scientific Committee on Oceanic Research (SCOR).
An important part of the co-operation with SCOR is the formation of joint working groups.

IAPSO interacts with UNESCO's Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC).

Joint Commission on Ice-Ocean Interactions (JCIOI) with IACS (published 11 January 2021)

IAPSO is pleased to announce the establishment of a new Joint Commission on Ice-Ocean Interactions (JCIOI) with IACS (the International Association of Cryospheric Sciences).

JCIOI aims to globally coordinating and engaging in research and development related to understanding, observing and modeling ice-ocean interactions. This will include research under ice shelves, at the ice-ocean front in tidewater glaciers, and at the sea surface in the marginal ice zone. 

The commission is co-chaired by Dr Felicity McCormack (IAPSO) and Dr Isabel Nias (IACS). For more information on how to contribute, please contact Dr McCormack (This email address is being protected from spambots.
