A detailed analysis of the Viñales National Park (VNP) was carried out to evaluate main geosites geomorphological interest inside park. This allowed selection areas (AIG) and localities (LIG) with 20 geological (PIG) suitable their importance as geoheritage. Moreover, three field trips one virtual itinerary encompassing park aimed improve geological–geomorphological knowledge be used in geotour...

The 12 research papers and two summaries of conference discussion sessions contained in this Theme Issue build upon presentations and dialogue at the Third Johnston–Lavis Colloquium held at University College London in September 2009. The meeting brought together delegates from the UK, Europe and the USA to address the issue of climate forcing of geological and geomorphological hazards, with a ...

According to the perception that subjects have about geographic objects, people can evaluate their proximity. The answers to the question if a geographic object is near other will be different according to the environment that the objects belong to. Also, when we consider geographic objects that do not have well defined boundaries, the perceptions of people with respect to the distance will be ...

The objective of this work is to conduct a detailed mapping the Héðinsdalsjökull foreland, northern Iceland (65°39′N, 18°55′W). This cirque currently shows variety glacial and periglacial landforms derived from complex deglaciation. Mapping was performed combining traditional hand-drawn digital mapping. A sketch georeferenced in ArcMap 10.7.1, supported on an aerial photograph (year 2000). Its ...

Soil moisture (SM) plays a key role in many environmental processes and has a high spatial and temporal variability. Collecting sample SM data through field surveys (e.g., for validation of remote sensing-derived products) can be very expensive and time consuming if a study area is large, and producing accurate SM maps from the sample point data is a difficult task as well. In this study, geosp...

This study investigates the semi-detailed and detailed geomorphological mapping produced by researchers in State of São Paulo beginning 21st century, considering its diversity methods symbology. 22 academic productions were analyzed. Criteria for selection were: year publication, scale, possibility downloadability, legibility description procedures. Scales ranged from 1:60.000 to 1:5.000. Diffe...
