The heads of
the 33 organizations that make up the EuroGeoSurvey (no-profit
Association of European Geological Service) gathered for the first
time in Italy in an Extraordinary Meeting at ISPRA headquarters in
Rome, to discuss the future development of earth science, including
the creation of the European Agency for Earth Sciences.
"We are aware of the importance of earth sciences and geology and
of the necessity for the European Union to play a leading role in
the international context," declared the head of ISPRA. The
conference "Earth and Wine" will be held in Riomaggiore on October
11, in the significant scenario offered by the Ligurian
geomorphology. The conference is organized by the Italian
Commission of the International Year of Planet Earth (IYPE), in
collaboration with the Cinque Terre National Park. The influence of
regional processes, climate change and the degeneration of the soil
on the quality and quantity of wine production will be analyzed in
the context of the park.
