The 2003 IUGG General Assembly will provide an extraordinary opportunity for earth and space scientists from around the world to gather and exchange expertise, research data, and results. Along with a full scientific program arranged by the IUGG Associations, there will be a series of six, half-day symposia with the theme: "State of the Planet: Frontiers and Challenges." Invited speakers will explore topics ranging from chaos to predictability, and geophysical measurements to geophysical risk. Four Union lectures by leading research scientists will be presented as part of this special focus. These lectures and symposia will demonstrate the cutting edge and relevance of geophysical sciences, and identify the key challenges of the future. An important feature of IUGG General Assemblies is the opportunity for inter-Association symposia. 60 such symposia and workshops have been arranged in addition to the regular topical Association programs. Union Symposia on History, and Geosciences: The Future, will further enhance interdisciplinary discussions. The preliminary timetable of the scientific sessions will be announced in the Third Circular and will be available first on the IUGG2003 website. However, many of the Associations have already announced a preliminary schedule on their own websites, which can be accessed from the main IUGG home page (http://www.IUGG.org). The IUGG2003 Scientific Program Committee members are the Secretaries-General of the seven Associations, the IUGG Secretary General, and a representative from the Local Organizing Committee. The Chairman is A. Nishida of the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science.
