Geomorphosites: Function and Geoheritage Preservation in Belgium
2017This chapter opens with stressing the need for geomorphosite recognition, and situating the concept of geomorphosite in the broader context of geosites and the relations between geodiversity and biodiversity. Then, after mentioning the measures taken at the national level, notably with the creation in 1835 of the Royal Commission for Monuments, whose ...

Landforms and Geomorphosite Designation on Mount Gausta (Telemark)
2020Mount Gausta is the highest point in Telemark. It stands above a vast plateau lying at 1000 m or so in altitude (a fjell), where the large Vestfjorddalen valley is entrenched. There are two parts to it, with a pyramid peaking at 1881 m to the north (Gaustatoppen), and a long plateau at between 1500 and 1600 m (Gaustaraen).

During the last two decades a renewed interest emerged in the scientific community for geoheritage, geoconservation and geotourism research. This was the reason for the International Association of Geomorphologists (IAG) for creating a specific working group (WG) on geomorphosites, that is the geomorphological part of geoheritage, in 2001.

Karst landforms as geomorphosites:
2003The article presents the methodology of attributing quantitative values to the landforms as geomorphological heritage, including their evaluation in the frames of environmental impact assessment analysis. The scientific quality of a geomorphosite can be derived from its scientific, cultural, socio-economic and scenic significance and pondered according

This book proposes, therefore, a synthesis of the research on geomorphological heritage, both at the conceptual and methodological level. The results presented here are based on numerous studies carried out by various researchers in different contexts (academic research, environmental impact assessment, conservation, geotourism) and countries.

Geoheritage, Geoconservation, Geomorphosites in Hungary
2015In addition to geological sites of scientific interest, which appear on the list of key sections compiled by experts of the Hungarian Geological Institute, geomorphosites constitute an important group of protected earth sciences spots. In Hungary the Act on Nature Conservation of 1996 ensures the protection of objects of scientific, cultural, aesthetic,

Lombardy is a region of Northern Italy with a territory whose structure includes, from the physical-geographical point of view, a very important portion of the Alps and the adjacent Po plain with a little part of the Northern Apennines. This situation is due to the complexity of the landscape with its great diversity of historical and human aspects ...

Geomorphologic research of Umbria and nearest areas puts in evidence features with high cultural and scientific value, known in literature as “Geomorphosites”. Geo-tourism is nowadays the only mean to turn the geomorphosites from a teaching value into an economic one. The idea is to induce tourists toward geomorphosites through their interests.

The main Geomorphosites in Umbria.
2005The Region of Umbria region is characterised by highly different geological and geomorphological environments, giving the territory a “geomorphodiversity” as well as considerable variability among its ecosystems. The identification of potential geomorphosites is interesting, and is aimed not only at protecting them, but also at an appropriate ...
