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.

Geoconservation principles and protected area management

International Journal of Geoheritage and Parks, 2019
Geoconservation includes the protection of geoheritage features and geosites and the application of geoconservation principles more generally in the sustainable management of protected areas and in the wider landscape.

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

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 ...

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.
