The Integrated Assessment of Degraded Tourist Geomorphosites to Develop Sustainable Tourism: A Case Study of Grădina Zmeilor Geomorphosite, North-West Region, Romania

Applied Sciences, 2022
Most of the natural geomorphosites represent main attractions that have a high tourism potential and need great care in terms of their capitalization. The irrational tourism capitalization of the geomorphosites may lead to their degradation because of ...

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)

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

Geomorphosite assessment

Acta geographica Slovenica, 2010
Geomorphosites comprise natural features and processes, which can carry a certain value, whether that be scientific, aesthetic, historical, cultural, social, economic or other. With the intention of reducing the subjective impacts and enabling a mutual comparison, several assessment methods burst onto the scene.
