Geoheritage Meaning of Artificial Objects: Reporting Two New Examples from Russia
, 2021 Geoheritage is not necessarily linked genetically to “purely” geological processes. Investigations in two urban areas of Russia allowed us to find essentially artificial objects demonstrating certain geological uniqueness.

Zircon Xenocrysts From Easter Island (Rapa Nui) Reveal Hotspot Activity Since the Middle Jurassic
AGU Advances, Volume 5, Issue 5, October 2024.Abstract We report the finding of mantle‐derived zircon grains retrieved from red soils, regoliths, and beach sands from Easter Island, that are much older than the island volcanism (0–2.5 Ma) and its underlying lithosphere (Pliocene, 3–4.8 Ma). A large population of 0–165 Ma old zircons have coherent oxygen (δ18O 3.8–5.9‰) and hafnium (εHf(t)+3.5–+12 ...

Granite Landscapes, Geodiversity and Geoheritage—Global Context
, 2021 Granite geomorphological sceneries are important components of global geoheritage, but international awareness of their significance seems insufficient. Based on existing literature, ten distinctive types of relief are identified, along with several sub ...

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

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 ...

Museum Collections as Geoheritage
Geoheritage is the key source of evidence on which the geosciences are founded and geoconservation aims to protect that heritage. There are two main classes of geoheritage: in-situ geoheritage represented mainly by geosites and ex-situ geoheritage ...
