Geodiversity assessment in the Ganos (Isıklar) Mount (NW Turkey)
Environmental Earth Sciences, 2017 Geodiversity is considered important for protecting, planning, and managing the environment. Recently developed new methods allow us to identify geodiversity in a more concrete way. An increased number of studies have assessed mountainous and especially rural regions in recent years. This study assessed geodiversity of the Ganos (Isiklar) Mount.
