Abstract
Abstract. After describing the hydrological cycle and defining hydrology in the
introduction, the early historical development of hydrology is briefly
presented in the second section. Then the incorporation of hydrology within
the IUGG and the subsequent development of the association are described
chronologically. This description is organized into five sections
corresponding to five different periods, focused on the scientific and
organizational development of the association during each period. Finally, in
the conclusions, the present state of the association is discussed together
with an outlook for the future.
期刊介绍:
The scope of History of Geo- and Space Sciences (HGSS) is to document historical facts and knowledge and to improve awareness of the history of geoscience. The knowledge of the development of geosciences and their experimental methods and theories in the past can improve our current understanding and may stimulate current research. It is encouraging for young scientists to read biographical material of historical figures in their research area. It is important as well to learn that history of science is an integrated part of the ongoing research in their research area. Another important aim of the journal is the association of historical retrospective and current research.
