• A personal note on IGBP and the social sciences


    Humans are an integral component of the Earth system as conceptualised by IGBP. João Morais recalls key milestones in IGBP’s engagement with the social sciences and offers some words of advice for Future Earth.
  • IGBP and Earth observation:
    a co-evolution


    The iconic images of Earth beamed back by the earliest spacecraft helped to galvanise interest in our planet’s environment. The subsequent evolution and development of satellites for Earth observation has been intricately linked with that of IGBP and other global-change research programmes, write Jack Kaye and Cat Downy .


IGBP Secretariat

The IGBP Secretariat staff coordinated the central activities of the Programme, under the leadership of an Executive Director. The Secretariat implemented the decisions of the Scientific Committee of the IGBP, worked with the Core Projects to provide support to the overall research effort, raised funds for IGBP activities, communicated IGBP’s research to a wide variety of audiences, liaised with partner organisations, and administered the IGBP central budget.

The IGBP Secretariat was part of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences in Stockholm
