Geodiversity
Rocks, landforms and soils form the foundation upon which plants, animals and human beings live and interact. The geomorphological processes that shape our mountains, rivers and coasts also maintain dynamic habitats, ecosystems and landscapes.
Knowledge of the geological record provides detailed information about past environments and how they responded to broadly comparable climate changes. This information is important for the development of climate change impact scenarios for biodiversity and geodiversity.
