Updated: Jul 26, 2019
TUESDAY 19 FEB | 6PM | OAMARU OPERA HOUSE
World expert on global geoparks, Professor Patrick McKeever will be in New Zealand to visit the Waitaki Whitestone Geopark and give a public talk on ‘The Role of Geoparks in a Changing World’ at the Oamaru Opera House.
Professor Patrick McKeever was instrumental in establishing the first Global Geoparks in 2000. As Head of Ecological and Earth Sciences at UNESCO and advisor to the Global Geopark Network, he has undertaken numerous expert missions, advising countries on every continent regarding the creation of UNESCO Global Geoparks.
In New Zealand as a guest of the Waitaki Whitestone Geopark Trust, this talk will allow Patrick to share his knowledge of geoparks worldwide, his impressions of ours, and what it means for our district.
There'll be a Question and Answer session after the talk with Patrick and the Whitestone Geopark team.
Entry is by gold coin donation to the Waitaki Whitestone Geopark Trust.






This announcement highlights how valuable public conversations can be when they connect expert knowledge with local communities. Professor Patrick McKeever’s experience with Global Geoparks makes the lecture especially relevant, while the question-and-answer session adds an engaging opportunity for discussion. I recently came across phonydiploma, and its review-style discussions offered an interesting perspective on discovering useful information through different viewpoints.
What an insightful topic! Visualizing the evolution of geoparks over time could be incredible, especially with tools like a Photo to Video AI Converter to show changes.
