Climate change is expanding Antarctica's sea ice, according to a scientific study in the journal Nature Geoscience.
The scientists approached were listed in the 2007 edition of the American Geological Institute's Directory of Geoscience Departments.
The longstanding International Geoscience Programme (IGCP) supports interdisciplinary research to foster the growth of geoscientific knowledge and expertise worldwide.
The scientists detailed their findings online Jan. 20 in the journal Nature Geoscience.
These applications include geoscience, scientific and engineering modeling, media and entertainment and rapidly growing on-line services that support businesses as well as consumers.
This work was part of an International Geoscience Programme (IGCP) project on the Role of Holocene Environmental Catastrophes in Human History ( IGCP project 490).
The study will be published in the Journal of Geoscience Education.
Not included are such ancillaries as ongoing lease obligations, any seismic or other geoscience disbursements, or any general and administrative burden at the field or corporate levels.

In recent years, the geoscience sector in Africa has benefited from important international investment to meet a significant global increase in demand for mineral and energy resources.
Outreach and public awareness: we are firmly committed to the importance of outreach activities at many different levels, including geoscience education, and of thereby promoting global geoscience visibility.
The study in Nature Geoscience also asserts that the cool melt water layer may limit the amount of water sucked from the oceans that falls as snow on Antarctica.
The Programme promotes the use of geoscience in a wide range of global issues including health and safety and reducing the adverse effects of natural disasters and resource extraction.
And geoscience consultant Allen West added that Daulton and colleagues had not followed the same protocols and therefore it was no surprise they had came up with a blank.
Based upon the success of the first Deep-Water Circulation congress in Baiona (16-18 June 2010), an initiative has been developed to start an International Geoscience Programme (IGCP) on Contourites.
The African geoscience community through the Geological Society of Africa is engaged in promoting awareness of the IGCP and its benefits and directing these to African Earth science leaders and institutions.
UNESCO, the UN organization in charge of science, has long promoted sustainable development notably through the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission, the International Hydrological Programme, the International Geoscience Programme and the Man and the Biosphere (MAB) Programme.
Project manager Martin Quinger, from the German Federal Institute for Geoscience and Natural Resources (BGR), told the Namibia Sun that it was a substantial body of water and could supply 40% of the nation's population for as long as 400 years.

UNESCO, which has a specific mandate in the sciences, has long promoted science for sustainable development through programs and platforms such as the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission, the International Hydrological Programme, the International Geoscience Programme and the Man and the Biosphere Programme.
Coordinate with national and international geoscience authorities and policy makers on research, technology transfer and public awareness raising programmes on the use of remote sensing for environmental monitoring, geohazard mitigation, georesource modeling, transboundary geoscience map integration, geoengineering, climate change and environmental geology.
In a separate study published in the journal Nature Geoscience, a team led by Bethany Ehlmann, from Brown University, analysed sedimentary deposits in two deltas within Mars' Jezero crater - which once hosted a body of water measuring some 40km (25 miles) across.
