Dr Steve Boreham (BSc PhD) worked for the University of Cambridge for more than 30 years and has a special interest in Southern England, East Anglia, Fenland and the Cambridge District. He is a key member of the CGS Geosites team and in this talk he will describe the geodiversity of the county and its associated landscapes.

The CGS Geosites team has recently developed a landscape approach to describing the geology of Cambridgeshire and the geological (and geomorphological) features to be found here. This sets the geology in a context familiar to most people and also links it with local ecology and the key role that it has played in the economic development of the county, from limestone, chalk and clay to gravel, sand and peat. Our aim is to provide a comprehensive description of local earth heritage and to promote its geoconservation.
