Geotechnical aspects of alluvial soils at different depths under sodium chloride action in Najran region, Saudi Arabia: Field supported by laboratory tests

Ahmed Abd El Aal et al.

Summary: The research study investigates the impact of sodium chloride on semi-arid soils in the Najran area of Saudi Arabia. Experimental work is conducted to analyze the effect of salt on soil characteristics such as compaction, shear strength, and California bearing ratio. The findings demonstrate that sodium chloride significantly affects the geotechnical properties of semi-arid soils, with 20% concentration being an effective stabilizer for potential use in highway construction.

Better Understanding of Geoheritage Challenges within the Scope of Economic Geology: Toward a New Research Agenda

Dmitry A. Ruban et al.

Summary: Recognizing geoheritage as a geological resource with heritage value is a novel concept. Non-industrial exploitation of geoheritage brings benefits through tourism, eco-/geosystem services, research, and education. Economic geology should include geoheritage as an economically important resource, requiring collaboration between economic geologists and experts in geoheritage and nature conservation.

Geoconservation strategies framework in Brazil: Current status from the analysis of representative case studies

Maria da Gloria Garcia et al.

Summary: Achieving effective management of geodiversity and geoheritage requires integrative, multidisciplinary approaches that include diagnosis, conservation, and promotion. Research findings indicate that while diagnosis and promotion are commonly addressed, conservation represents the main weakness, particularly in terms of legal protection, geosite conservation, and monitoring.

Geoheritage resources and new direction of infrastructural growth in Egypt: From geosite assessment to policy development

Emad S. Sallam et al.

Summary: Geoheritage in the Qattamiya-Galala Corridor in Egypt has been evaluated and identified as a valuable geological resource. This study assessed 15 geosites based on their uniqueness, accessibility, scientific importance, and touristic potential. These geosites have been actively used for geosciences education and research, but there is still potential for further tourism development. The establishment of a geopark and attention to waste management are important aspects of the geoheritage resources policy.

Valuable geoheritage resources: Potential versus exploitation

Dmitry A. Ruban et al.

Summary: Geoheritage is an important geological resource that can provide various socio-economic benefits. The actual patterns of its exploitation are not fully understood, and the current exploitation level is limited but may accelerate in the future. Special policies are needed to protect and sustainably utilize geoheritage resources.

Geodiversity assessment to regional scale: Ecuador as a case study

Paul Carrion-Mero et al.

Summary: This research evaluates the geodiversity of Mainland Ecuador by estimating a Geodiversity Index and analyzing the geodiversity index map obtained to develop policies for the use and conservation of geodiversity. The maps and estimated indices serve as relevant tools in territorial planning and future geoconservation strategies, with proposed initiatives to favor the characterization, use, and protection of geodiversity.

Pathway to environmental sustainability: Nexus between economic growth, energy consumption, CO2 emission, oil rent and total natural resources rent in Saudi Arabia

Mary Oluwatoyin Agboola et al.

Summary: This study empirically explores the relationships between energy consumption, economic growth, CO2 emissions, and natural resource rent in Saudi Arabia. The findings suggest long-term impacts between energy consumption and economic growth, energy consumption and environmental degradation, and total natural resource rent and CO2 emissions. Saudi Arabia faces challenges in environmental sustainability due to over-reliance on natural resource rent, highlighting the need for conservation and management.

Recent State Policy and Its Impact on Geopark Establishment and Operation in Slovakia

Marian Lukac et al.

Summary: The geological evolution and structure of Slovakia greatly influence its geodiversity, with geoparks playing a crucial role. However, the unclear legislative position of geoparks in Slovakia hinders their successful operation, impacting their sustainability. The potential future of geoparks in Slovakia lies in adopting specific legislation to support their development as (geo)tourist areas.
