[1/8] Ottone Scammacca (BRGM) et François Bétard (Sorbonne Univ) proposent une relecture du concept de #géodiversité. Ils montrent que la géodiversité ne se limite pas aux roches ou reliefs, mais forme un système complexe lié au vivant et aux sociétés.

A Cretaceous hot spring preserving micro and macro life in exquisite fossil detail.
A precious page from the Book of Life, inscribed at a certain time & place.
Invaluable evidence for #Cretaceous #geodiversity & #biodiversity.
🌎In a Perspective, Scammacca and Bétard argue that #geodiversity is a multidimensional concept—aggregative, evaluative, spatio-temporal, and functional—defined by dynamic interactions with the biosphere and anthroposphere, and essential for advancing #sustainability.🧪

A cutting excavated into the Lowestoft Till while making the Haughley bypass, Suffolk, 2007. There is about 15 ft / 5 m of blue-grey till overlying a pale orange sand. The cutting is fenced off with red and white tape. A row of fence post above the cutting help give an idea of scale.
The wall of Timworth quarry, Suffolk, c.2004. The cutting is some 12 ft / 4 m high and shows a mass of blue-grey chalky till (the Lowestoft Till) which has glaciotectonically distorted a layer of sand which has been pushed into an anticlinal structure. A standing person in a blue jacket and red hat gives some indication of scale.
A ditch at Withersdale Street, Suffolk. It has recently been cleaned out to reveal blue-grey chalky Lowestoft Till with an overlying brown weathered horizon. There is a field of growing cereals in the background with a hedge in the distance. It is plateau land.
A view of a yellow-painted farm house and barns at Weybread, Suffolk, seen across a ploughed field developed on a weathered surface of Lowestoft Till. It is winter time, and the trees in the distance are leafless. It is plateau land.
Here is the raw stuff in the landscape:
* Lowestoft Till in a road cutting,
* LT in a quarry,
* LT in the sides of a ditch,
* LT in ploughsoil.

🪨 Behestan Castle, Iran
Carved directly into the rock above the Qizil Uzan River, Behestan Castle shows how geology and human history are deeply connected.

🌿 How does #bedrock shape #biodiversity?
In subtropical China, #plant diversity follows opposite latitudinal patterns on karst vs non-karst soils.
⛰️This new study calls for integrating #geodiversity into #ConservationPlanning.

...then two days of discussions about designing our new long-term #geodiversity field experiment, with the help of some wonderful expert colleagues. Intense, but very useful!
JOB ALERT: Become our #TERRA #DIVERSITORIUM manager @unihohenheim.bsky.social. If you have extraordinary coordination skills & feel dedicated to bring the first large-scale #geodiversity manipulation experiment to a global success: Please apply & become a #TERRAnaut, see uni-tuebingen.de/en/285483!
On International Geodiversity Day (6 October), we decided to highlight the granite formations of Serra das Mesas (Sabugal), where the Côa River has its source. An excellent place for walking and observing nature.

Happy International #Geodiversity day! 🌍
Enjoy these three geological locations in the Netherlands!
It is a pleasure to collaborate with #CENL and other members to bring #Geology to the public.
Past beaches kms away from the coast, fossils and urban Geology can also be found in this ”flat” country.

Did you know mining removes as much rock each year as a whole mountain – like the Zugspitze? ⛰️ Some of these samples are priceless for science. Stefan Peters, Head of Mineralogy at LIB Hamburg, calls for action to preserve this geodiversity: valuepast.hypotheses.org/4738
#Geodiversity
The #Diversitorium task force @aschweiger.bsky.social, @bossdorf.bsky.social, @michaeladippold.bsky.social, K.Tielboerger & Y.Oelmann visited Ihinger Hof field site @unihohenheim.bsky.social for the first time!
SO EXCITED to launch our key #TERRA experiment on #geodiversity manipulation: stay tuned!
It is starting to look deliberate. We should always remember to include #Brighton #Wildlife in future plans and projects.

A broken branch encrusted with cream-coloured tufa precipitated from groundwater.
Close-up view of a branch encrusted with cream-coloured tufa precipitated from groundwater. It contrasts with dark grey colour of the underlying wood.
Detail at c.30x magnification of tufa encrustation.
Close up view of section of a tufa crust c.1 mm thick overlying wood.
Groundwater is depositing calcium carbonate as tufa on twigs, stones and branches in a ditch in a wood in Suffolk.
An intriguing reminder of the hidden, complex, wonderful chemical & physical processes underpinning our lifeworld.
We ignore them at our peril.

These are the standard linguistic separations and attached ethical/moral evaluations I am trying to change. If nothing else, just look at the "relevant" science! True individualism is a myth.
