Synopsis

Geoheritage: Assessment, Protection, and Management, Second Edition provides a comprehensive exploration of geoheritage, beginning with an introduction to geodiversity and progressing to the characterisation of in situ and ex situ geoheritage, its protection and sustainable use. It also offers advanced concepts and methodologies for site assessment, mapping, conservation, visualisation and management, and features 12 case studies spanning five continents.

Authored by 75 experts from 22 countries, this edition includes nearly 200 figures and maps. New chapters expand the scope of the first edition to address geoheritage's links to biodiversity, climate change, natural hazards, ecosystem services, education and cities.

This essential resource is perfect for geoscientists and students in the fields of geodiversity, geoheritage, geoconservation and geotourism, as well as professionals involved in nature conservation, protected areas and geoparks.
