Launch of new website for Sussex Geodiversity
The Sussex Geodiversity Partnership was formed in 2011 with the aim of
promoting and protecting geodiversity in East and West Sussex and the
city of Brighton and Hove. Originating with the Sussex RIGGS scheme
hosted by Booth Museum of Natural History in Brighton from 1993 to
2006, the Sussex Geodiversity Partnership is hosted by the Sussex
Biodiversity Record Centre.
The Partnership comprises a small group of geologists and
geomorphologists with the aim of sharing information on the
geodiversity of Sussex, influencing policy and promoting
cross-regional working for geodiversity. The public face of the
Partnership is the new website at http://www.geodiversitysussex.org.uk
launched today on the 15th October 2013
As well as providing information on the geology of Sussex, the website
was developed to provide an open-access database for all geological
and geomorphological sites in Sussex. Using the original RIGGS
surveys, the 120 sites were re-surveyed and updated reports produced
in 2011/12 by the Sussex Biodiversity Record Centre working with West
and East Sussex County Councils.
The website is still being populated with site data. Initially, only
details of sites with public access will be made available together
with regional geological information. Details of limited access sites
will be added subject to permission from the landowners. A
comprehensive bibliography of publications on Sussex geology and
geomorphology is being added and there will be links to other websites
and a news item page. Over the next six months the number of sites
covered by the site will increase, so keep checking in a learn more
about the exceptional Geodiversity of Sussex.
