            The wor(l)d is spreading!
          
        
        
          
            More and more geoprofessionals are joining GeoWorld.
          
        
        
          Geoprofessionals worldwide are
        
        
          becoming increasingly aware of the
        
        
          innovative networking site for geo-
        
        
          technical engineers and related fields.
        
        
          GeoWorld, a new resource developed
        
        
          by ISSMGE and Geoengineer.org, is
        
        
          expanding (40% membership increase
        
        
          in only 3 months!), with active mem-
        
        
          bers reaching almost 1,400 in January
        
        
          2012, 70 groups (including Technical
        
        
          Committees and Societies), and more
        
        
          than 80 companies and organizations.
        
        
          New features and improvements on
        
        
          the existing ones are made continu-
        
        
          ously. For example, it is now easier to
        
        
          add and show your published papers
        
        
          and books, with more and better
        
        
          organized information. This allows
        
        
          for a searchable database of publica-
        
        
          tions authored and catalogued by all
        
        
          GeoWorld members, divided by type
        
        
          (journal, conference, or book) and
        
        
          easy to find through the search func-
        
        
          tion.
