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.

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.

Developments in Permafrost Science and Engineering in Response to Climate Warming in Circumpolar and High Mountain Regions, 2019–2024

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, Volume 36, Issue 2, Page 167-188, April/June 2025.
ABSTRACT Research in geocryology is currently principally concerned with the effects of climate change on permafrost terrain. The motivations for most of the research are (1) quantification of the anticipated net emissions of CO2 and CH4 from warming and thaw of near‐surface permafrost and (2) mitigation of effects on infrastructure of such warming and

The complex governance of protected areas: Insights from geoheritage and geopark management in China

Environmental Policy and Governance, Volume 34, Issue 6, Page 679-690, December 2024.
Abstract Geoparks aim to conserve areas of geological significance and achieve sustainable endogenous regional development via geotourism. The management of geoparks requires the involvement of all relevant stakeholders and authorities. However, the strategies when establishing geoparks are often based on the visions of scientists and policymakers ...
