GeoMôn

The Media Centre at GeoMon - realised both on and offline - supports the creation, presentation, and interpretation of its geology and includes exhibitions, events, screen-based production, news and development of a singularly comprehensive digital archive. The aims of the website are to present rich historical resources to members and visitors of the Network alike, and also promote services offered by the Geopark.

The aims of the Media Centre are to present discoveries made by earth scientists, and updates continually with commentary within a vast community that is the European Geoparks Network (EGN) and UNESCO Global Geoparks Network (GGN).

The Geopark's founding Director, Dr. Margaret Wood, who's research into Stromatolite on the island, will be recieving a Distinguished Service Award (for services to Geoscience) from the Geological Society, on June 2nd, 2010. Margaret will be collecting her award from Birlington House, London.

You can call on geologists at the Geopark to give talks at your Geopark Centre or other venue. We can also provide you with literature and organise field trips which, for example, demonstrate our niche geology (the Precambrian). Anglesey is also one of the finest anywhere to study plate techtonic processes and features.
