The lAU Colloquium No. 56, the Second lAU Colloquium, "On Reference Coordinate Systems for Earth Dynamics," co-sponsored by the COSPAR and the International Association of Geodesy of IUGG was held in Warsaw, Po1and, on September 8-12, 1980. The Co11oquium was organized by the Space Research Centre of the Po1ish Academy of Sciences and the Smithsonian Institution Astrophysica1 Observatory. It was sponsored by the Committee of Astronomy, the Committee of Geodesy, and the Committee of Space Research of the Po1ish Academy of Sciences.
