Conclusions of the Ad-hoc Review Committee (ARC) on the International Commission on Fossil Fuels (CFF) of the International Union of Geological Sciences (IUGS) (Paris, 22nd November 2006)

摘要

Following the recommendations of the IUGS Strategic Planning Committee (2000) and IUGS Strategic Action Plan (2001) to appoint Ad-hoc Review Committees (ARCs) to hold reviews of all IUGS-funded scientific activities on a regular basis, the IUGS Executive Committee decided at its 56th meeting in Punta Arenas, Chile (January 6-10, 2006) that an ARC should be convened to review the IUGS International Commission on Fossil Fuels (CFF). CFF has been part of IUGS, with different names, for at least seventeen years (as Advisory Committee before 1989; as Commission from 1989 to 1999; as Task Group from 2000 to 2004, and as Commission since 2004). The last review of CFF by the IUGS Advisory Board for Research Development (ABRD) was in 1999.
