The Scientific Program of the 32nd IGC consists of Plenary Lectures, Special Symposia, Topical Symposia, General Symposia, Workshops, Short Courses and Field Trips. The Scientific Program Committee has involved a large community of geoscientists through a call for proposals, which has led to the development of the following program. We thank all individuals and organizations that have contributed with suggestions and helped to organize the Scientific Program of the 32nd IGC.

These lectures are open to all participants and will take place each day in the Cavaniglia Pavilion - Room 1, from noon to 12.45
