Abstract
Abstract. Our 21st century perspective on the oceans is due to the realization that
knowledge of them and specifically their role in earth's climate are central
to determining the future health of our planet. This present knowledge of the
oceans builds on the farsighted work of people who, over the past century,
worked to address seemingly intractable problems. The International
Association for the Physical Sciences of the Oceans (IAPSO) has, over that
long time span, promoted and supported the international approach that is now
commonplace and has championed the provision of cross-cutting activities, the
value of which we now fully recognize. This paper describes the key events in
IAPSO's history and the roles played by the scientists involved.
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.
