The IGCP has been a cooperative enterprise between IUGS and UNESCO since 1972, with a focus on comparative international studies in the Earth Sciences. After three decades of successful work, the "International Geological Correlation Programme" continues as the "International Geoscience Programme". To date, IGCP has made research results available to a large number of scientists around the world through some 500 projects. Note the call for new proposals at the end of this E-Bulletin.
