Geoparks and Geotourism in China: A Sustainable Approach to Geoheritage Conservation and Local Development-A Review

Kejian Xu et al.

Summary: Geoparks and geotourism, relatively new activities within tourism, have experienced rapid growth in the past decade. China, often referred to as an open laboratory in geosciences, leads the world in the establishment and maintenance of geoparks. Results show that geoparks are a sustainable approach to advancing geoconservation and promoting local economic development, highlighting the importance of sustainable management in geotourism for long-term improvements in rural areas.

Geotrails as a Medium for Education and Geotourism: Recommendations for Quality Improvement Based on the Results of a Research Project in the Swabian Alb UNESCO Global Geopark

Julian Stolz et al.

Summary: Geotourism is a rapidly growing branch of tourism that features geoparks and geotrails. However, many trails fail to consider recent findings and do not attract interest or convey relevant information to a lay audience. A comprehensive study was conducted on the UNESCO Global Geopark Swabian Alb in Germany to develop criteria for evaluating existing geotrails. Recommendations for model geotrails were derived, highlighting the need for better incorporation of education for sustainable development, geo-interpretation criteria, and new technologies.

ERASMUS plus Strategic Partnerships between UNESCO Global Geoparks, Schools, and Research Institutions: A Window of Opportunity for Geoheritage Enhancement and Geoscience Education

Marco Giardino et al.

Summary: The EU Erasmus+ program and UNESCO Global Geoparks both aim to develop models of best practices. They found a shared playground in high geodiversity and rich geoheritage areas to promote innovative education and professional perspectives in the ecological transition. Through environmental research and professional experiences, educational activities enhanced students' awareness of social and environmental responsibility, and highlighted the importance of geoparks in sustainable development, future skills, and lifestyles.

Digital Tools to Serve Geotourism and Sustainable Development at Psiloritis UNESCO Global Geopark in COVID Times and Beyond

Charalampos Fassoulas et al.

Summary: Digital tools are increasingly important in promoting geodiversity and geopreservation. This study presents three new digital applications developed for Psiloritis UNESCO Global Geopark in Greece, including an interactive digital map, story maps, and a business-listing map. These tools combine various applications and methods to interpret natural and cultural heritage, promote important sites, and support local productivity. The applicability and effectiveness of these digital tools in advancing geotourism and sustainable development goals have been proven.

The Volcanic Relief within the Kos-Nisyros-Tilos Tectonic Graben at the Eastern Edge of the Aegean Volcanic Arc, Greece and Geohazard Implications

Paraskevi Nomikou et al.

Summary: The Kos-Nisyros-Tilos volcanic field in the eastern Aegean Volcanic Arc is an active volcanic area formed by the subduction of the African plate beneath the Aegean plate. The region is characterized by volcanic cones, domes, and submarine volcanic calderas, with various geohazards such as seismic activity, volcanic eruptions, and tsunamis. Data from geophysical surveys combined with geospatial techniques have been used to analyze the volcanic relief and hazards in the area.

Investigation of Sentinel-1 capabilities to detect hydrothermal alteration based on multitemporal interferometric coherence: the case of Nisyros volcano (Greece)

Athanasia-Maria Tompolidi et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates the capability of Sentinel-1 SAR data in detecting hydrothermal alteration zones within the Nisyros volcano caldera through multitemporal interferometric coherence analysis. The calculated coherence images and average coherence map successfully delineate the hydrothermal alteration area based on geological maps, indicating the potential of Sentinel-1 data in differentiating hydrothermal alteration from loose alluvial deposits.
