Main ActivitiesThe main activities of the International Year of Planet Earth operate within its Science and Outreach programs. Funding for projects in both programs is sought from industry, Foundations and governments worldwide. Both programs essentially operate in a response, or ‘bottomup’ mode. The Science Program consists of 10 broad, societally relevant and multidisciplinary themes: health, climate, groundwater, ocean, soils, deep Earth, megacities, hazards, resources, and life. Brochures on each of these themes are available in hard copy, and can be downloaded from the Year’s website. Scientists from all countries of the world are invited to submit Expressions of Interest (EoIs) dedicated to specific questions within each theme. |
