An open geospatial database as a tool for geoheritage management at national scale: The case study of Greece

Acta Universitatis Carolinae Geographica
Geological heritage or geoheritage is of at least equal significance to – and sometimes also interwoven with – cultural heritage. Hence, it holds the potential of scientific, educational, cultural, aesthetic, and touristic value.

Diverse approaches to protecting biodiversity: The different conservation measures discussed as possible other effective area‐based conservation measures

Conservation Letters, Volume 17, Issue 4, July/August 2024.
Abstract Other effective area‐based conservation measures (OECMs) create opportunities for a wide range of area‐based conservation strategies. As countries seek to integrate OECMs into conservation planning, it is useful to consider the types of areas that might meet the formal criteria.

A case for stronger integration of physical landscape processes in conservation science and practice

Conservation Biology, Volume 38, Issue 3, June 2024.
Abstract I argue that the dynamic nature of contemporary, landscape‐shaping (geomorphic) processes deserves more consideration in conservation science and practice. In an analysis of a sample of fundamental terms related to geomorphology and area‐based conservation in the Web of Science, I found that the terms co‐occurred in <2% of the analyzed entries

The geolocation of features on information surfaces and the use of the open and FAIR data principles in the mountain landscape domain and geoheritage

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, Volume 35, Issue 2, Page 98-108, April/June 2024.
Abstract This note suggests that decimal latitude/longitude [dLL] locations should be used to identify features of interest, landforms, sample and investigations sites, in an ‘information landscape’ provided by the geomorphological literature. All the information associated with a labelled, or tagged, geolocation should be available for examination as ...

Gullies and badlands of India: Genesis, geomorphology and land management

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 49, Issue 1, Page 82-107, January 2024.
Studies on gully formation (red dots on map), badlands genesis (blue dots), gully and badlands mapping (aquamarine dots), their geomorphology (yellow dots), effects (green dots) and gully/badlands management (white dots) in India are discussed. While gully formation has largely been anthropogenically induced in India, her badlands have formed naturally

Sedimentary provenance of siliciclastic rocks from the Lalla Mouchaa Calcschists Formation (Coastal Block, Western Rehamna): Evidence of denudation of ca. 2 Ga basement in the Moroccan Meseta. [PDF]

, 2018
Paleoproterozoic basement rocks (ca. 2Ga) are scarce along the European and North African Paleozoic mountain chains (Fig.1a). In Morocco, ca. 2.2-2Ga granitic rocks (Gasquet et al., 2008; Kouyaté et al., 2013) have been exclusively reported in the ...
