IAH Commissions & Working Groups
The strong science base of IAH is its Commissions, some of which have a long history of activity and publication. Working Groups are commissions currently in formation or short term project groups undertaking a particular task. We do not regard our scientific activities as static or rigid, and presently IAH is undertaking a process of review and reform that we hope will streamline and significantly improve our scientific activities while opening up opportunities for new initiatives in emerging global issues (click here for more details).

Our present Commissions are listed below, with relevant contact details. Most also have websites and/or discussion pages.
