Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Inland and underwater geoheritage and geosite conservation represent an ever-expanding research topic, with a multitude of approaches and interdisciplinary methods being employed. As an ever-growing field of research, geoheritage has been attracting more and more attention in recent years from both researchers and local authorities, with its main purposes being the conservation of the natural landscape for future generations and its potential valorization through geotourism. Nevertheless, historical landscape research has recently benefitted from new contributions related to the conservation of geoheritage in general. Natural geological phenomena that affected the historical landscape at certain times have been thoroughly documented, and new insights can be recorded within the historical research on certain areas. Moreover, by employing multidisciplinary approaches, such as geoarchaeology or different methods of geological prospection, researchers in the field of geoheritage conservation are constantly innovating.
Therefore, the aim of this Special Issue is to gather new and valuable contributions to the study of inland and underwater geoheritage and historical landscape conservation, with the aid of state-of-the-art multidisciplinary approaches and methods.
