International Association of Seismology and
Physics of the Earth's Interior

RESOLUTION 1: Publication Transfer

IASPEI
recognizing	the serious lack of scientific literature at many educational and research institutions in developing countries, IASPEI appreciates the establishment of a scheme for transfer of publications, whereby individuals and institutions with surplus copies of scientific journals, books and other publications make these available for transfer to suitable institutions in developing countries, and
urges	all individual scientists and institutions with such surplus publications to make their availability known to the Secretary-General.

RESOLUTION 2: Regional Cooperation

IASPEI
recognizing	the good seismology related work being done in Central American countries through support provided by the universities of Uppsala (Sweden) and Bergen (Norway),
urges	extension of such cooperation for assessment of seismic risk for this and other developing regions.

RESOLUTION 3: Committee on Education

IASPEI
concious	of the impact of recent damaging earthquakes, such as those at Latur (India), Northridge (USA), Kobe (Japan), and Sakhalin (Russia), and of recent technological advances in hazard assessment and mitigation techniques,
by establishing	a Committee on Education to promote the transfer of technology to developing countries, and to ensure the continuation and coordination of training courses,
urges	all appropriate national and international agencies to support this activity to the fullest possible extent.

RESOLUTION 4: Cataloging Artificial Events

IASPEI
recognizing	that catalogues of earthquakes prepared by local, regional, and international organizations are being contaminated by artificial events,
urges	that these organizations make all efforts to distinguish natural events from artificial ones so that seismicity is more clearly represented by these catalogues.

RESOLUTION 5: Seismological Data Exchange

IASPEI
recognizing	the desirability for free and open exchange of seismological data between major international, national, and regional data centers,
urges	that the United Nations Conference on Disarmament ad'hoc Group of Scientific Experts (GSE) makes the data supplied to the EIDC as readily available as possible to the world seismological community.

RESOLUTION 6: Strong Motion Data

IASPEI
recognizing	the importance of earthquake strong motion data in the evaluation of earthquake hazard and mitigation of earthquake risk, and
recognizing	significant new developments in strong motion instrumentation in many places,
encourages	all government agencies and other organizations operating strong motion instrumentation networks to make data available on request to researchers throughout the world as rapidly as possible.

RESOLUTION 7: Appreciation

IASPEI
Appreciating and utilizing	the very good arrangements made for the XXI IUGG General Assembly,
thanks and congratulates	all the members of the Local Organizing Committee for a most memorable Assembly.
