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

Original Research The Geodiversity of the Shotori Mountain Range in Eastern Central Iran and its Role in Geotourism Development of the Tabas UNESCO Global Geopark

Geoconservation Research
Regional geotourism planning requires a comprehensive understanding of the spatial distribution of geoheritage. Despite the exceptional geodiversity of the Tabas UNESCO Global Geopark, no regional-scale framework has previously been developed for ...

Geoheritage: inventories and evaluation [PDF]

, 2018
The recognition of what is geoheritage is based on the perception that some geodiversity elements have something that it is unusually important, which means that they have an extra value.

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

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,

Global strategies for protecting geoheritage sites from mining with lessons for Nigeria and Africa

Discover Geoscience
Geoheritage and geotourism sites preserve vital records of the Earth’s history and support sustainable development. Yet many of these sites face growing threats from mining, industrial expansion, and weak governance, especially in resource-rich regions ...
