Serifos island is characterized by rich geodiversity, industrial and cultural heritage. The present paper focuses on the geological mining heritage of Serifos, with aim integrating in international environment Geoparks, near future. In this geopark, can highlight combined as expressed activities since prehistoric times facilities iron copper mines. During study, six geotrails have been develope...

Active or recently active volcanic areas present very visible and easy to understand phenomena for the broad population appreciate as geological heritage. However, in a geologically stable country such Ireland, with no volcanism evident tens of millions years few clearly traces volcanoes ‘school textbook’ nature, significance ancient remains is much harder explain visitors heritage sites. This ...

This paper presents a different point of view on the conservation of the built heritage, adding ionizing radiation to the most well-known digital documentation dataset. Igneous building materials characterize most of the built heritage in the Campania region, and in a large part of southern Italy. The ionizing radiations proceeding from these materials can produce stochastic biological effects ...


 This paper is focused on the relatively new terms in Earth Sciences – geodiver- sity, geological heritage, geoconservation, geosites, geoparks and their practical usage Ukraine. The diversity of processes that have occurred Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, its structural-tectonic position, long complex history development, since Precambrian until Quaternary Epoch, combined with a large amount natu...

Syros Island, Cyclades complex, central Aegean Sea, Greece, is a prime locality for the study of processes active in deep levels orogens and world famous its exceptionally well preserved glaucophane schist-to eclogite-facies lithologies. Glaucophane schists eclogites are witnesses one fundamental tectonic operating on planet Earth. Results geological research have contributed lot to our present...
