“…It is still a challenge for policy makers to put forward a clear set of geoheritage targets with a lack of knowledge on social capacity for responding to and shaping geoconservation dynamics. As long as responsible bodies cannot make informed decisions, the implementation of the elaborated geoconservation inventory will be on hold despite their ambition to follow a holistic conservation plan that includes all aspects of the geo-ecosystem with special relevance to their cultural relations [96][97][98]. Much of natural resource management is focused on biodiversity species models, and policy recommendations are based on their conservation without accounting for the role of geosystem services.…”

The increase in geoheritage studies has secured recognition globally regarding the importance of abiotic natural features. Prominent in geoheritage screening practices follows a multicriteria assessment framework; however, the complexity of interest in values often causes decision making to overlook geoeducation, one of the primary facets of geosystem services. Auckland volcanic field in New Zealand stretches through the whole area of metropolitan Auckland, which helps preserve volcanic cones and their cultural heritage around its central business district (CBD). They are important sites for developing tourist activities. Geoeducation is becoming a significant factor for tourists and others visiting geomorphological features, but it cannot be achieved without sound planning. This paper investigates the use of big data (FlickR), Geopreservation Inventory, and Geographic Information System for identifying geoeducation capacity of tourist attractions. Through landform classification using the Topographic Position Index and integrated with geological and the inventory data, the underpromoted important geoeducation sites can be mapped and added to the spatial database Auckland Council uses for urban planning. The use of the Geoeducation Capacity Map can help resolve conflicts between the multiple objectives that a bicultural, metropolitan city council need to tackle in the planning of upgrading open spaces while battling of growing demand for land.

“…Author metrics were extracted from Scopus [86] and citing articles were extracted from Web of Science [87] through research impact metrics tools of these online databases. The authors of this study considered the major advocates within the scientific discourse on achieving global agreement on the quantification criteria of geoheritage or geodiversity [51]. The search was conducted with the authors' names in the full databases of Scopus and Web of Science with no minimum time period until 2020.…”

“…The heavily biased field is expected to reach the level of reliability required by decision makers after three decades of practice by the adaptation of proven instruments from other disciplines that tackled similar issues. A scoping study explored all approaches to geoheritage conservation as the first step in cleaning up the field and to comprehensively synthesize evidence [51]. Four concepts were identified by a meta-analysis of the literature.…”

Ordination methods are used in ecological multivariate statistics in order to reduce the number of dimensions and arrange individual variables along environmental variables. Geoheritage designation is a new challenge for conservation planning. Quantification of geoheritage to date is used explicitly for site selection, however, it also carries significant potential to be one of the indicators of sustainable development that is delivered through geosystem services. In order to achieve such a dominant position, geoheritage needs to be included in the business as usual model of conservation planning. Questions about the quantification process that have typically been addressed in geoheritage studies can be answered more directly by their relationships to world development indicators. We aim to relate the major informative geoheritage practices to underlying trends of successful geoheritage implementation through statistical analysis of countries with the highest trackable geoheritage interest. Correspondence analysis (CA) was used to obtain information on how certain indicators bundle together. Multiple correspondence analysis (MCA) was used to detect sets of factors to determine positive geoheritage conservation outcomes. The analysis resulted in ordination diagrams that visualize correlations among determinant variables translated to links between socio-economic background and geoheritage conservation outcomes. Indicators derived from geoheritage-related academic activity and world development metrics show a shift from significant Earth science output toward disciplines of strong international agreement such as tourism, sustainability and biodiversity. Identifying contributing factors to conservation-related decisions helps experts to tailor their proposals for required evidence-based quantification reports and reinforce the scientific significance of geoheritage.

“…Investigations of geological and geomorphological heritage (geoheritage) have become an important direction of research among international geosciences, with an accumulation of significant amounts of diverse knowledge [1][2][3][4][5][6][7]. However, many particular aspects of geoheritage are yet to be fully understood.…”

On the Duality of Marine Geoheritage: Evidence from the Abrau Area of the Russian Black Sea Coast

Marine geoheritage is an important but still underdeveloped concept. Field investigations in the Abrau area (Krasnodar Region, southwestern Russia) and subsequent interpretations allow for the characterization of its geoheritage. Two geosites, namely Abrau and Limanchik, are delineated and assessed semi-qualitatively. Their high heritage value, complexity, and appropriate “technical” properties are appraised. The Abrau geosite features Abrau Lake with its enigmatic origin and the outcrops of deformed Upper Cretaceous carbonate flysch deposits. The Limanchik geosite represents an outstanding example of coastal abrasion, Paleocene siliciclastic flysch with trace fossils, and a coastal lagoon separated from the sea by a bar. The heritage aspects of the study areas are related to the development of the Late Cretaceous, Paleocene, and Pliocene seas, as well as to the active dynamics of the Black Sea coastal zone. The duality of marine geoheritage is linked to its relation to both ancient and modern marine environments.
