Coral reef and mangrove interplay during Holocene sea level changes, Belitung Island, Indonesia

open access: yesEarth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 7, July 2026.
The fate of mangroves and coral reefs during the ongoing sea level rise depends not only on our ability to preserve the ecosystems but also on their geological preconditioning. Therefore, strategies to preserve mangrove ecosystems, while undoubtedly essential, wecan only be successful if accounting for their geological history. Abstract Coral reefs and

Stress redistribution following landslides: Insights from 3D stress modelling of mountain topography

open access: yesEarth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 7, July 2026.
We present a novel numerical workflow adapting the Finite Cell Method directly to digital elevation models to simulate near‐surface stress fields. The models demonstrate that topographic unloading via slope failure dramatically reduces localized peak shear stresses but actively redistributes elastic loads onto adjacent slopes, driving progressive ...

Minor epic: Notes toward a different “Anthropoetry”

open access: yesAnthropology and Humanism, Volume 51, Issue 1, June 2026.
Abstract Anthropologists have often turned to poetry as a means of accessing emotional registers of which conventional academic prose is unable to avail. In doing so, they have tacitly conflated poetry with lyric poetry, today probably the most widely practiced poetic genre, associated in particular with the expression of inner feelings and subjectival

Analysis of network activities in geoparks as geotourism destinations

open access: yes
Geoparks as an innovation for the protection of natural and geological heritage play an important role in the development of geotourism and knowledge exchange. The European Geopark Network and the UNESCO Global Geoparks Network have introduced geotourism

Does digital transformation drive innovation in UNESCO Global Geoparks? Evidence from a global survey on the role of digital tools

open access: yesInternational Journal of Geoheritage and Parks
International conservation policy has increasingly recognized the importance of abiotic environments for sustainable development, geodiversity conservation, and education. UNESCO Global Geoparks are critical areas for preserving geoheritage and promoting

Influence of the Dynamic Geological History of the Japanese Archipelago on the Molecular Phylogeography of the Riffle Beetle Zaitzeviaria ovata (Coleoptera: Elmidae)

open access: yesFreshwater Biology, Volume 71, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The geographic genetic structure and distribution within species are shaped by factors such as dynamic tectonic activity and topographic changes associated with climate change. We used the largely flightless, freshwater‐dependent beetle Zaitzeviaria ovata (Elmidae) as a model to investigate how ancient topography and dynamic geological history

A SUSTAINABILITY MODEL OF GEOPARKS APPLIED TO THE TUNGURAHUA VOLCANO GEOPARK

open access: yesGeojournal of Tourism and Geosites
The Tungurahua Volcano Geopark (GVT), is located in the center of the Ecuadorian Andes, and comprises an area of 2,397 km2 . The name-giving Tungurahua Volcano, which is one of the most active volcanoes in Ecuador, is only one of many other volcanic complexes to be part of the GVT.

SOME PROBLEMS OF SYSTEMATISING LEGAL MEANS TO ENSURE THE DEVELOPMENT OF A TERRITORY (ON THE EXAMPLE OF GEOPARKS)

open access: yesПравовое государство: теория и практика
The legislation on specially protected natural areas is currently being reformed to ensure tourism development. New territories emerge, within the boundaries of which, on the one hand, there are unique natural sites, including geological ones ...
