Description

The purpose of the U.S. Geoheritage and Geoparks Advisory Group is to increase awareness of geoheritage across the United States. The group promotes the conservation of significant geosites. It also develops and presents educational workshops, meetings, and publications about geoheritage to advance knowledge of geologic hazards, groundwater, climate change, the evolution of life, mineral and energy supplies, and the Earth’s history.

In 2020-2021 the advisory group organized America’s Geologic Heritage workshop to promote collaboration on geologic heritage and conservation in the U.S.; share experiences and best practices; increase the awareness of global geologic heritage concepts; and improve the flow of information between organizations and stakeholders interested in U.S. geologic heritage. The proceedings from this workshop are available online.

 

The group is chaired by Tom Casadevall and is a program development activity of the U.S. National Committee for the International Union of Geological Sciences (IUGS), sponsored by the National Academy of Sciences. 

Sure, we can mention that there's a Canadian member of the U.S. advisory group
