#ResearchWeek: The #Bonavista Peninsula's unescoEARTH @DiscoveryGEONL geopark covers an area of 1,150 sq. km and includes 280 km of coastline and landscapes. It is one of five geoparks in Canada! Faculty of Science, Memorial University @DMcEdiacaran Edith Samson ow.ly/prcG50GWEPO

Absolutely wonderful to read about the connections being made because of the breathtaking geological assets found within @DiscoveryGEONL! Fantastic example of mutualism between community, tourism, culture, and geoconservation. Well done, Edith Samson, @DMcEdiacaran, et al.!
