Happening this week:
Stories in Stone: #Karnataka 's Geoheritage Wonders

If you're in #Mysuru , please drop in for this #geoscience talk (in English)!

It will be inspired by some of my Geosophy editions on #geoheritage sites like Hampi, Yana, Badami etc!

Please amplify!

Exciting to see a first edition of Charles Lyell's Lyell Time 'Travels in North America and Nova Scotia' at the U of King's College Library. Lyell's trip to Nova Scotia featured significantly in Volume 2 and a beautiful map, even if geography is off a little bit. #GeoTourism #GeoHeritage

Beside the impacts on multiple endangered species, yet another reason why Tasmania's giant industrial #RobbinsIsland #windfarm should be rejected by Tanya Plibersek. The unique #Geoheritage of Remarkable Banks, where many turbines would be dug into site. #politas #auspol
