4 10 Science Themes 1. Groundwater – towards sustainable use 2. Hazards – minimising risk, maximising awareness 3. Earth & Health – building a safer environment 4. Climate – the ‘stone tape’ 5. Resources – towards sustainable use 6. Megacities – going deeper, building safer 7. Deep Earth – from crust to core 8. Ocean – abyss of time 9. Soils – the living skin of the Earth 10.Earth & Life – origins of diversity

5 Example of science activities –Transparent Earth –Aims to produce a digital map of the world –Scale 1:1 M by most Geological Surveys led by BGS –Scales 1:5 M and 1:25 M by CGMW –IUGS-CGI developed GeoSciML language –eGY participation welcome

6 Examples of Outreach –Balloon launches –Top Conference in Paris –Indigenous versus academic knowledge of the Earth –Geo-buses, trains, ships –Exhibitions –Popular books and articles –New Geoparks –TV documentaries, DVD’s –Stamps –New Year Concert Vienna –Art expressions, geo-poems, paintings
