Geoconservation Survey of the Eastern Colombian Geosites Based on Geocientific and Scenic Interest

, 1970
Colombia boasts extensive geodiversity thanks to complex geological processes that have shaped its landscape over geological time. The eastern region of the country is characterized by ancient rock formations, covered by a substantial layer of sediments,

Static recrystallization of shocked calcite in Ries impact breccias

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 7, Page 1456-1473, July 2026.
Abstract Calcite is prone to chemical and microstructural modifications, especially after having been strained at high stresses and strain rates, as during hypervelocity impact events. These modifications include precipitation from pore fluid as well as replacement of strained volumes by recrystallization. In calcite aggregates of a metagranite breccia

Mechanical impacts of climbing on cliff vegetation: Contrasting management concepts

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 1, Page 153-164, January 2026.
Abstract Climbing a boulder for the first time often means entering a previously inaccessible ecosystem, many of which are inhabited by rare species. Little is known about the impacts of first ascents on cliff vegetation, especially with respect to different rock types.

The New Space Race Era: The Exogeoheritage Challenge and Its Conservation

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract The escalating pace of space exploration has ushered in a new era reminiscent of the space race of the 1960s. However, the discourse on exogeoconservation—the protection of geological heritage—now demands a prominent place in decision‐making processes.

GAM model and tourist valorization of geosites Plocnik [PDF]

The University Thought - Publication in Natural Sciences, 2017
In Serbia, there are several sites from the Neolithic period, but there is only one site from the period of existence of the Vinča-Tordoš family (5500-4800 BC). In this paper, we will try to become familiar with the site named Pločnik by using two methods.

Geosite Evaluation to Support Learning and Conservation

KnE Social Sciences, 2022
Freedom of learning can introduce more contextual factors, including environmental factors, into Indonesia’s education system. Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park has a natural uniqueness that can support the contextual learning process. Education held in the park can provide concrete conservation understanding for park visitors.

Integrating Virtual Reality Into a Structural Geology Curriculum: Two Longitudinal Case Studies of Blended Immersive Learning in Practice

Human Behavior and Emerging Technologies, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
This article concerns two 9‐week longitudinal case studies of the integration of an immersive blended‐learning structural geology curriculum at an Australian university. Immersive learning environments (ILEs) have the capacity to enhance learning outcomes in STEM through their inherent ability to represent 3D concepts and embed their users in real ...

Tracing the origin of Roman mosaic tiles in Aquileia: Petrographic analysis of specimens from the suburbium

Archaeometry, Volume 67, Issue 5, Page 1247-1266, October 2025.
Abstract This research represents the most extensive characterisation of Roman mosaic tesserae (tiles) from Aquileia, Italy, to date, examining 153 specimens. The study aimed to identify the lithotypes used in mosaics production through a multi‐analytical approach, which included colorimetric analysis, polarised light microscopy and scanning electron ...
