Society of Wetland Scientists—an
international organization of about 3,500 members dedicated to fostering
sound wetland science, education, and management.
The International Union of Soil Sciences (IUSS)
is the global union of soil scientists. The objectives of the IUSS are
to foster all branches of the soil sciences and their applications, and
to give support to soil scientists in the pursuit of their activities.
The main mechanism for this work is the divisions and commissions
of the Union. Any interested soil scientist may participate in the
activities of the Union – there is no need to be an individual member as
scientists are represented by national members. In the United States,
the National Academy of Sciences is the IUSS national member,
representing all U.S. soil scientists regardless of professional society
membership through its
U.S. National Committee for Soil Science.
All U.S. soil scientists are invited to participate in the elections
for IUSS division and commission officers, who will serve from
2010-2014. Please go to
the website to cast your vote by
March 1, 2008.
