The ‘Management Perimeter’: A Proposal for Effective Conservation of Geomorphosites
GeomorphologyGeomorphosites, i.e. geosites with geomorphological interest, have a great spatial variability. Geomorphological heritage is visible at all scales, thus the area of a geomorphosite may include a single landform, groups of landforms, up to larger portions

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 ...

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

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).

Methods for mapping geomorphosites
2009Compared with research carried out in the fields of geomorphosite assessment, classification and promotion, geomorphosite mapping has not received the same consideration in the past. Today, scientists from different European countries are engaged in geomorphosite mapping and the awareness that maps are valuable from many standpoints is increasing ...

Geomorphosites and Geoheritage Sites in India
2014India is a storehouse of fascinating and exquisite landforms and landscapes. On account of varied geology, structure, tectonic history, climatic variability and a long coastline there is immense diversity of landforms (geodiversity). In the Indian context, notwithstanding the fact that a detailed inventory of geomorphosites/geoheritage sites important ...

Anthropogenic Geomorphosites in the Karancs–Medves Region
2015The Karancs–Medves Region consists of two hilly-mountainous parts: the Karancs, the largest andesite laccolith in Hungary, and the Medves Plateau, composed of basalt sheets and necks surrounded by blocks and basins of Tertiary sediments. This region was made famous by its raw materials, including coal, basalt, andesite and refractory clay, which ...
