Earth Science Frontier at Urban Periphery: Geoheritage from the Vicinity of Kazan City, Russia

, 2023
Characterizing geological heritage sites (geosites) available in Russia remains an urgent task. The present study focuses on two geosites from the vicinity of Kazan—a large city on the Volga River.

Reconstructing human‐induced geomorphic changes through historical maps and multitemporal remote sensing data in the Cancano–San Giacomo di Fraele reservoirs (Central Alps, Italy)

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 3, March 2026.
Reconstructing ~200 years of landscape change at the Cancano–San Giacomo hydroelectric system (Central Alps), we integrate historical cartography, archival photographs, multitemporal aerial/satellite imagery and field validation to map pre‐ and post‐impoundment landforms.

World-scale allocation of new mineral-related geological heritage resources

International Journal of Geoheritage and Parks
The socio-economical importance of geological heritage (geoheritage) makes it a geological resource. New minerals are reported regularly, and their type specimens and localities are ex-situ and in-situ constituents of geoheritage, respectively.

Landslides, a Key Landform in the Global Geological Heritage

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022
Landslides are important components of global geoheritage, but awareness of their significance and value in such terms seems scanty in the scientific community.

The New Space Race Era: The Exogeoheritage Challenge and Its Conservation

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract The escalating pace of space exploration has ushered in a new era reminiscent of the space race of the 1960s. However, the discourse on exogeoconservation—the protection of geological heritage—now demands a prominent place in decision‐making processes.

Field Observations of Decreasing Rock Fracturing Rates Over Geologic Time

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Rock fracturing regulates the topography, carbon cycle, geologic hazards, and infrastructure degradation of the Earth. Yet, there remains a paucity of constraints on long‐term fracturing behavior. Here we use field measurements of 2221 clasts across a range of environments and rock types to show that the number and total length of fractures in

Systematic Slowing of Initially Rapid Retreat of New Coasts Formed by Historical Eruptions in Volcanic Islands

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 130, Issue 8, August 2025.
Abstract Due to their exposure to waves, volcanic island coasts typically retreat with cliff collapses and other erosional processes. Understanding how retreat rates vary over time and in response to environmental and other factors could be useful for geohazard assessment, coastal management and landform reconstruction.
