Welcome to the website of the Yorkshire and Humber Geodiversity Forum.

YHGF was set up in 2008 to create a supportive network providing contacts and sharing information. We do this primarily via the website and hope that you find it a useful geodiversity resource. As you know, a website is only as good as the content that is on it and so we are always looking for advice, feedback and, most importantly, information about you, your organisation, your research and your events. So please get in touch and make this more than the sum of its parts.

Email use and tell us your thoughts or read more about the forum.

The site contains details of LGAPs in the region as well as information regarding RIGS, LGS and collated reporting and guidance. You will also find regular news postings and event details.
