Canadian Societies for the Geophysical Sciences (CSGS)
A mechanism to link, integrate and coordinate the geophysical sciences in Canada
- A voice from the geophysical sciences to government, funding agencies, industry, the public
- A way to promote the advancement of the geophysical sciences in Canada
-
Facilitate collaboration and exchange amongst Canadian geophysical sciences
-
Coordinate and promote a vision for the integration of the geophysical sciences in Canada
Benefits from:
- Commonality of approach – application of physics to dynamical Earth systems, linkages to environment, chemistry, biology, geology
- Scientific exchanges and interdisciplinary linkages in the geophysical sciences
- Coordinated voice to scientific funding bodies and government on issues of policy relating to, and support for, the geophysical sciences
- A vision for the advancement of the geophysical sciences in Canada

The Partnership Group for Science and Engineering (PAGSE)
PAGSE is a cooperative association of more than 20 national organizations in Science and Engineering, representing approximately 50,000 individual scientists and engineers from academia, industry and public service. Formed in June 1995 to represent the Canadian science and engineering community, PAGSE's mandate is to educate and inform federal Parliamentarians, decision makers and other leaders of the importance and significance of Canadian research and innovation to economic development, and society as a whole. PAGSE became a non-profit organization in 2020. CMOS is a member of this association.
Here are the reports on the activities of the Partnership Group for Science and Engineering (PAGSE):
The Canadian Consortium for Research (CCR)
All activities of the Consortium are conducted with volunteers from the constituent member societies and organizations. A six-member steering committee provides the planning and leadership for the CCR and reports to the Consortium at regularly scheduled monthly meetings of the member representatives.
Science Media Centre of Canada
CMOS is one of the 120 charter members of SMCC.
American Meteorological Society (AMS)
The Canadian Meteorological and Oceanographic Society (CMOS) and the American Meteorological Society (AMS) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for mutually beneficial interaction. On October 31, 2014, the MOU was signed by both Presidents, Dr. Harinder P. S. Ahluwalia of CMOS and Dr. William B. Gail of AMS. In 2019 the MOU was extended by both Presidents, Kimberly Strong of CMOS and Jenni Evans of AMS until October 31, 2024.
This MOU will allow CMOS members to join AMS as “Affiliate Members” and with benefits provided to Affiliate Members as outlined on the AMS website, including, but not limited to a subscription to the digital version of the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society (BAMS), member rates on all journals, books, and other products of the AMS, and member registration rate for all AMS meetings. The dues rate for Affiliate Members will be approximately 66% of the normal member rate. CMOS members will apply for Affiliate Members status directly with AMS, and AMS will handle all aspects of the application and annual renewal process. Members of CMOS will be asked to provide their CMOS membership number (or other appropriate identification) that can be confirmed with CMOS at the discretion of AMS.
AMOS members will receive reciprocal benefits. Several other benefits to both Societies are listed in the MOU. For a full description, please consult the CMOS - AMS agreement .
