Abstract

The Scientific Committee on Oceanic Research (SCOR), a committee of the International Council of Scientific Unions, is charged with furthering international scientific activity in all branches of oceanic research. At present there are 37 members, 27 nominated by national academies or equivalent bodies and 10 nominated by unions within ICSU. Probably the best known of SCOR3s accomplishments since its founding in 1957 are the organization of the International Indian Ocean Expendition and the convening of the first International Oceanographic Congress. During recent years, SCOR has worked closely with the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission and the Unesco program in oceanography through its advisory responsibilities to both bodies.
