> GEOSCIENCE
>
> As a result of the excellent cooperation and hard work between China and
> India, the publication operations for "Episodes" has now been successfully
> transferred to India. Episodes will now be produced by the Geological
> Society of India. The new Editor for "Episodes", Dr. Mudlappa Jayananda,
> welcomes short, innovative scientific articles, as well as items dealing
> with geological sciences and society. To submit your papers, or for any
> enquiries, please contact Dr. Jayananda at email: gsocind en gmail.com or

> INTERNATIONAL YEAR OF PLANET EARTH - IYPE UPDATE
>
> In the first quarter of 2009 two more nations (Sri Lanka and Angola)
> established their own IYPE National Committees, bringing the total number 
> of
> countries to 80 (including the IYPE Regional Committee for East and
> Southeast Asia). National Committees were approached to complete a
> questionnaire concerning the impact of their activities, and their vision 
> on
> the future.
>
> The 5th IYPE Board meeting on 26 January 2009 was held in London (hosted 
> by
> the Geological Society of London). The main focus was on the future of 
> IYPE.
> After considerable discussion, the Board agreed to:
>
> 1) Explore options for creating a World Geoscience Forum. 2) Explore 
> options
> for creating a global platform to advocate and represent environmental
> (geo)science contributions to society. 3) Evaluate the impact of the
> National IYPE Committees in their countries and their ideas for prolonged
> existence. 4) Collect global support for the Young Earth Scientist 
> (Y.E.S.)
> initiative. 5) Explore options for a global and self-supporting outreach
> initiative on Planet Earth.
>
> The IYPE Science Implementation Teams (SITs) continued their work on the
> state-of-the-art scientific books, to be published by Springer Verlag as
> IYPE legacy items. Eight out of the ten science issues have confirmed
> production and two are still pending. The first books will be published in
> the 3rd quarter of 2009.
>
> The Lisbon IYPE Event (LIE). Hosted by the Portuguese Government, will be 
> a
> major event in Lisbon, from 20-22 November, to commemorate the end of the
> IYPE triennium, and to launch new initiatives for the next decade building
> on the IYPE legacy. All International Partners will be invited to
> participate in the meeting with the IYPE leadership and to expose their
> products in a special exhibition. Fundraising has started and a 
> professional
> Congress office selected. For more IYPE activity regularly check the 
> website

> IUGS IN THE GLOBAL GEOPARKS NETWORK (GGN)
>
> During its last meeting at the 3rd International UNESCO Conference on
> Geoparks 2009 in Osnabrueck, the Bureau of the Global Geoparks Network
> decided to invite the International Union of Geological Sciences (IUGS) to
> join as a GNN Bureau member.
>
> Presence of IUGS in this Bureau, the governing body of the GGN, is in full
> agreement with IUGS' interest in improving its collaboration with UNESCO,
> beyond the International Geosciences Programme (IGCP), the joint 
> initiative
> on Geological Applications of Remote Sensing (GARS) and the International
> Year of Planet Earth.
>
> The IUGS expects to contribute to a strong development of the Global 
> Network
> of Geoparks through an active participation of its 121 Adhering
> Organizations and 46 Affiliated Organizations.
>
>
>
> NEW IGCP PROJECTS ACCEPTED IN 2009
>
> Tens of thousands of Earth scientists from nearly every nation on Earth 
> have
> been involved in the IUGS-UNESCO joint activity: The International
> Geoscience Programme (IGCP) since its launch in 1972. It is a global 
> program
> of scientific collaboration between working scientists and has developed
> multidisciplinary projects that have had a lasting impact. Find out more!
> Contact information and a descriptions of the new projects approved in 
> 2009
> may be found at
> http://www.unesco.org/science/earth/doc/igcp/NewProject2009.pdf .  A full
