Since 1987, SEDI has been an Union Committee of the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics (IUGG). As such, it cuts across the traditional discipline-oriented bounds of the Associations of the (IUGG) [such as the International Association of Geodesy ( IAG), the International Association of Geomagnetism and Aeronomy (IAGA), the International Association of Seismology and Physics of the Earth's Interior (IASPEI), and the International Association of Volcanology and Chemistry of the Earth's Interior (IAVCEI)] which normally study the Earth from a particular point of view. The intent of SEDI is to amalgamate all sources of data and all points of view to generate the most coherent and consistent picture of the workings of the Earth's deep interior.
Business meetings of SEDI are held at the SEDI Symposium and the IUGG General Assembly. At these meetings, which are open to all interested participants, reports of SEDI-related scientific activities are presented and decisions are made concerning projects to endorse or scientific symposia to be organized.
Membership in SEDI is informal; it is sufficient to send an email message, containing your name and address and an expression of interest to become a member of SEDI, to the secretary at bergman-sedi@simons-rock.edu or bergman@simons-rock.edu. SEDI presently has about 550 members. The secretary of SEDI maintains an email list for the purpose of scientific exchange only.
