Overview

Theo Murphy international scientific meeting organised by Dr Franziska Schrodt, Dr Malcolm Hunter, Mr Derk van Ree, Professor W Daniel Kissling, Dr Richard Field and Dr Joseph J Bailey.

Geodiversity, heterogeneity of abiotic nature, is both dynamic and crucial to Earth’s systems. Yet, human-induced change threatens geodiversity globally. This meeting brought together experts across disciplines, strengthened the intellectual core around geodiversity science and enhanced its policy impact by developing ‘essential geodiversity variables’, related to human well-being, sustainability and natural resource management. This will initiate a new field of transdisciplinary science. 

The schedule of talks and speaker biographies and abstracts can be found below. Meeting papers will be available in a future issue of Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A.
