  • Molina – Alto Tajo Geopark is located in Castile – La Mancha region, in Guadalajara Province, about 200 km north-east of Madrid. Geographically, the region of Molina is part of the southern Iberian plateau between the river Ebro to the north and the Tagus River to the south. These rivers strongly marked the Geopark's landscape, flora, fauna, and human settlement. The geological heritage interest of the Geopark is based on large continuous sedimentary series, ranging from the Ordovician to the present. They constitute a record of major events from the last 400 million years of Earth history. More than 20 sections of archetypical geological formations telling this story have been identified by scientists, with geological stratotypes and boundaries of international interest. The area has been inhabited since ancient times, and includes important samples of Palaeolithic rock art and Celtiberian fortresses that have provided valuable information about the Celtberian culture.
  • Sobrarbe Geopark
  • Subbeticas Geopark

United Kingdom

There are no 'national Geoparks' within the UK (as at July 2020); there are however a number of UNESCO Global Geoparks.

Vietnam
gollark: The idea is for this thing to stream TRoR to/from a headless CCEmuX (ideally CraftOS-PC eventually) instance to either a browser or ingame computers, possibly with extensions for local peripheral control and stuff.
gollark: I mean, I could, sure?
gollark: The CLOUD™ backend is very WIP because the canvas renderer in the frontend relies on some not actually supported browser APIs right now.
gollark: Also, the API services can be rewritten in Go to make it even worse.
gollark: PotatOS will offload half its operations to a Node.js backend server.
