The Manx Geological Survey is a charity that encourages public interest in geology by promoting research and education.
The charity is building a database of geological and geophysical data on the Isle of Man’s rocks, soil and natural resources, onshore and offshore.
The data will assist anyone carrying out land management programmes and planning projects that impact on the natural environment.
Using maps, animations and information, the charity’s interactive website engages visitors about the Island’s geological development.
The charity hosts events and conducts school visits and public talks.
It is investigating the feasibility of running a postgraduate training course on Global Energy, at University College Isle of Man, covering future power generation, use and storage.
It’s intended to make resulting data publicly available to inform decision-making and demonstrate that the Isle of Man embraces new ideas and encourages new technologies.
Subject to securing funding, the charity also hopes to develop educational materials for primary schools, develop geological trails to encourage people to learn about how the Island is formed and produce more educational animations and videos.
Its Partnership with UNESCO Biosphere Isle of Man will add a ‘Geosphere’ element to the project.
