Geomorphosites: definition, assessment and mapping

Géomorphologie : relief, processus, environnement, 2005
Geomorphosites are geomorphological landforms that have acquired a scientific, cultural/historical, aesthetic and/or social/economic value due to human perception or exploitation (Panizza, 2001). They can be single geomorphological objects or wider landscapes and may be modified, damaged, and even destroyed by the impacts of human activities. The value

Fluvio‐hydrological characteristics and diverse bedrock geology control the dynamic growth, truncation, and amalgamation of bedrock streambed and marine potholes

River, Volume 4, Issue 1, Page 84-105, February 2025.
Abstract A total of 393 potholes (368 fluvial and 25 marine potholes) were studied at seven different sites in both the fluvial and marine environments. Diverse bedrock properties and large‐scale delivery of tools and grinders regulate the dynamic growth, truncation, and amalgamation of potholes. Therefore, the principal objectives of the study are (i)

Geomorphosite assessment and management in protected areas of Greece Case study of the Lesvos island – coastal geomorphosites [PDF]

Geographica Helvetica, 2007
Abstract. This paper presents a methodology for assessment of geomorphosites located in protected areas. The methodological process involves definition of «geomorphological value» of all sites using six criteria: 1) «scientific» and «educational value»; 2) geodiversity, 3) «ecological» and «aesthetic value»; 4) «cultural value»; 5) potential threats ...

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 ...
