Tectonics-Related Geosites: Towards Accurate Nomenclature [PDF]

open access: yesGeosciences, 2019
Accurate nomenclature of geological heritage sites (geosites) is necessary to facilitate their description and territorial geodiversity evaluation (both important for sustainable development and efficient land-use planning). As suggested by previous geological heritage studies, tectonics-related geosites are termed differently and, chiefly ...
