The International Association of Geochemistry and Cosmochemistry
was organized in 1967, and held its first meeting at UNESCO
Headquartels that year in association with its symposium on The
Origin and Distribution of the Elements'. The Association is a
member of the International Union uf Geological Sciences, and holds
regular meetings at the time of the I nternatlOnal Geological
Congresses, the last of which was held in Montreal, in August.
1972. The IAGC was organized to coordinate activities on an
international scale in a wide variety of branches of geochemistry.
Its activities are carried on through Commissions and Working
Groups, and by means of symposia and other international
activities. It has national, corporate, and individual members. One
of the first actions taken by the Council of the AGC when it met in
1967 was to establish an initial set of Working Groups to commence
the activity of the organization. Among these Working Groups was
one on Extraterrestrial Chemistry, established under the
chairmanship of the writer. This Working Group recognized that its
basic concern with the chemical composition of cosmic systems was a
problem with ramifications in many fields in addition to
geochemistry. The other scien tific disciplines which are involved
include physics, astronomy and astrophysics, and geophysics. The
Working Group thus included scientists in these disciplines from
the beginning; many of the scientists had already participated in
the first symposium of the IAGe. The Working Group has recently
been elevated to the status of a Commission."
