摘要
Introduction.The International Union of Geological Sciences(IUGS)is a prominent non-governmental organization dedicated to promoting and fostering the study of geological sciences internationally.Established in 1961,the IUGS is a member of the International Science Council and plays a pivotal role in setting global standards in geological sciences,facilitating international collaboration,and supporting the coordination of major global geological events and research initiatives(Cheong and Kim,2021).One of the key events organized by the IUGS is the International Geological Congress(IGC),held every four years.This congress serves as a vital forum for geologists from around the world to share their latest research findings,discuss advancements in the field,and explore new directions in geological sciences.The IGC encompasses a wide range of topics including geology,geophysics,mineralogy,paleontology,and sedimentology,among others,reflecting the diversity and interdisciplinary nature of the field(Cheong and Kim,2021).
