Seeing as today is #InternationalGeodiversityDay and as I'm leading a geology walk there later this month, as part of a Charity Day Fossil Hunt, I thought I'd write a blogpost about the geodiversity of Runswick Bay: fossilhub.org/runswick-geo...
Photos from recent travels to mark #InternationalGeodiversityDay. Dalradian metamorphic rocks with quartz veins #Connemara National Park, W Ireland; sandstone, slate etc, medieval tower house, St Marys & All Saints church, Conwy, Wales; dykes & Watt, Langwarder Groden, west of Bremerhaven, Germany

Geodiversity is also a climate ally 🌍🔬
Rocks that capture CO₂, aquifers that regulate droughts, soils that store carbon for thousands of years…
Protecting biodiversity is essential — but without geological processes, there can be no climate balance

Dr Anjana Khatwa, Earth Scientist
On 6 October, Rockwatch is celebrating International Geodiversity Day! Don’t miss our exclusive interview with Earth Scientist + presenter Dr Anjana Khatwa, who shares how she became a storyteller of rocks – and how YOU can become a rock whisperer too.

A large specimen of ink blue cavansite crystal clusters on a cream coloured crystalline matrix of stilbite. On display in the Natural History Museum, London.
The 6th October was #InternationalGeodiversityDay. Geodiversity is the variety of geological elements (minerals, fossils, landforms, etc.) in nature. It's basically the abiotic version of biodiversity
As of September 2024, there are 6079 valid mineral species: cnmnc.units.it #minerals #geology 🧪⚒️
