Scientific paper

The International Association of Geodesy (IAG) has thoroughly revised its mission and structure in the years 1999-2001. The new IAG structure allows for the establishment of IAG projects, which are of a broad scope and of highest importance for the entire field of geodesy. These projects serve as the flagships of the Association for a long time period (decade or longer). At the IAG Scientific Assembly in September 2001 in Budapest theIAG Executive Committee made the decision to establish the Integrated Global Geodetic Observing System (IGGOS) as the firstIAG project. IGGOS addresss the three "pillars" of modern geodesy, namely (1) Geometry and Kinematics, (2) Earth Orientation and Rotation, and (3) Gravity field and Dynamics. These pillars must be unified by a consistent "Terrestrial Reference System and Earth Model" and continuously be imbedded in the Quasar-defined inertial reference system. The development and the status of the planning for IGGOS are outlined, the goals are specified and the interaction with theNASA-initiated proposal "Integration of Geodesy" is addressed. IGGOS will be IAG's flagship. It is the attempt to coordinate and focus of most of present IAG's activities (as they are, e.g., performed by the services) and to make geodesy's and IAG's contribution to Earth sciences clearly visible.
