National Committee for Geographical Sciences meets in Adelaide
Earlier this month the Australian Academy of Science's National Committee for Geographical Sciences (NCGS - pictured above) held a very productive face-to-face meeting in Adelaide, its first since before COVID.
NCGS fosters geography in Australia, links the Academy of Science to Australian geographers and relevant scientific societies, and links Australian geographers to their overseas counterparts, primarily through the International Geographical Union.
The Committee is currently chaired by RGSSA Director Professor Iain Hay, who also represents the interests of RGSSA in Committee business.
NCGS members pictured above: L-R: Naomi Karouzos (AAS); Susan Caldis (AGTA); Iain Hay (NCGS Chair; RGSSA); John Tasker (RGSQ); Matthew Kearnes (GSNSW); Phil McManus (IGU); Kirsten Martinus (NCGS Deputy Chair); Meg Sherval. Apologies: Jen Carter (IAG); Melissa Nursey-Bray (IAG); Steve Turton; Graciela Metternicht; Matthew Tonts (ASSA).
