Lets make sure that Sussex gets a good representation in this list!
Go to www.geodiversitysussex.org.uk
<http://www.geodiversitysussex.org.uk/> for inspiration! Not all
accessible RIGGS loaded up yet, but we are getting there.
Best wishes

Launch of 100 Great Geosites!
The UK and Ireland features some of the most diverse and beautiful
geology in the world, spanning most of geological time, from the oldest
Pre-Cambrian rocks to the youngest Quaternary sediments. As part of
Earth Science Week 2014 <http://www.geolsoc.org.uk/earthscienceweek> ,
The Geological Society and partner organisations are celebrating this
unique geo-heritage by launching a list of 100 Great Geosites across the
UK and Ireland.
We need your help!
To come up with a list, we need your help. Send us your favourites via
Twitter, using #100geosites, on the project's Facebook page at
www.facebook.com/100geosites, or by emailing 100geosites at geolsoc.org.uk.
You can support your nomination with anything you like - be it
photographs, videos or enthusiastic words. You can find all of this
information and more on the webpage www.geolsoc.org.uk/100geosites.
A geosite could be a classic outcrop or a beautiful landscape like the
Giant's Causeway. The list could also include engineered sites of
economic importance such as a Crossrail station, museums, structures
featuring striking building stones or sites of significance to the
history of geology or our industrial heritage. The only rules are that
the site is in the UK or Ireland, and can be visited by the public.
We're hoping that, as well as the classic geological sites the UK and
Ireland is famous for, we'll receive some surprises!
Is there a great geosite in your region that deserves to be on the list?
Why not plan an event in Earth Science Week at a local site, to
celebrate our geoheritage in your area?
The list will be launched in October 2014 for Earth Science Week (13 -
19 October) <http://www.geolsoc.org.uk/earthscienceweek> . We hope the
final list of 100 will reflect the huge range of geological sites that
can be visited in the UK and Ireland -from the countryside to the hearts
of our towns and cities.
Earth Science Week 2014 is taking place on 13-19 October, with a theme
of 'our geo-heritage.' As well as the 100 geosites project, we're keen
to hear from anyone who would like to propose an event as part of the
week. From geowalks to public lectures to educational activities, all
ideas are welcome - email ESWUK at geolsoc.org.uk or visit
www.geolsoc.org.uk/earthscienceweek to find out more.
