¨ -Scientific base of each project solid,

innovative, supporting start up projects that

• therwise might never begin

¨ Projects locally and globally inclusive and

multidisciplinary – involving a wide range of community, both scientific and social (129 countries in 2013) – a wide range of development levels

¨

• Diversity Inspiring

¡ Monitoring of the Global Water Cycle ¡ Metallogenesis of Collisional Orogens ¡ Asia-Pacific Cretaceous Ecosystems/Cretaceous Sea-Level Changes ¡ Environmental Change and Human Response during the Quaternary ¡ Impact of Mining on the Environment in Africa ¡ Climate Change and Biodiversity Patterns in the Mid-Paleozoic ¡ Seismotectonics and Seismic hazards in Africa ¡ Changing Early Earth ¡ Radon, Health and Natural Hazards ¡ Early to Middle Palaeozoic Revolution ¡ Etc.

¨ -Seed Funding from IGCP of importance in

further $$ as well as in kind support of lab access, field support (Geological Surveys, Corporate, Exhibitions, Etc.) – kick start to projects that otherwise might never have happened

¨ UNESCO Brand gives Global Credibility and

Visibility

¨ Training, Mentoring, Community Involvement,

Job Creation – all leading to Stability
