Geoheritage, 2020 Globally, most active tropical glacial landscapes are found at elevations above 4000 m. Nonetheless, the presence of paleoglacial landforms in low latitudes, especially those formed during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), persists in different tropical regions. Chirripo National Park, in central-south Costa Rica, is one of these particular examples. The

Rock climbing sites as locations for geoheritage and geoscience engagement in mountains
Geology Today, Volume 40, Issue 6, Page 223-227, November/December 2024.Outdoor activities including trekking and hiking are commonly undertaken in mountains and in other environments where bedrock surfaces or bedrock‐controlled landforms are present and where users can enjoy the fresh air and the physical landscape.

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.

Malta and Sicily Joined by Geoheritage Enhancement and Geotourism within the Framework of Land Management and Development [PDF]
Geosciences, 2018 Malta and Sicily, which lie at the centre of the Mediterranean Sea, share a long history and have unique geological and geomorphological features which make them attractive destinations for geotourism. In the framework of an international research project, a study for the identification, selection and assessment of the rich geological heritage of Malta

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 ...

Conservation of geoheritage in Ecuador: Situation and perspectives
International Journal of Geoheritage and Parks, 2019 Due to the great geodiversity of Ecuador, it is not easy to present specific criteria related to the actions and scope of the conservation of the geoheritage in this nation; however, despite what we might believe, in Ecuador, geoconservation is a pending,

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
