30 November–2 December 2021, Palmerston North, New Zealand
GSNZ Annual Conference 2021: Geoheritage of Aotearoa and the SW Pacific

Geoheritage research continues to develop as a transdisciplinary science, where classical geological knowledge and physical geography research often occurs in parallel with biogeography, and tourism research. In turn these may be heavily influenced by social sciences such as pedagogy and cultural histories. New advances in geoeheritage research on the global stage demonstrate the dynamic nature of this science arena, with New Zealand and the SW Pacific providing the perfect canvas for researching and engaging with this field. We invite participants to demonstrate the diversity of geoheritage research within the New Zealand and SW Pacific context. In particular, we seek previously unpublished research, and new descriptive works outlining development of methodologies and projects for building geoheritage inventories; exploring the place of geotourism and geoconservation within diverse communities; and integration of advanced technologies within these research fields such as: advanced GIS, data mining techniques, remote sensing, and virtual technologies. We also seek submissions exploring global developments in these fields, that would place our regional geoheritage ventures in a wider global context and developments in internationally recognised best practices.

Session Convenors: Karoly Nemeth (Massey University; Geoconservation Trust Aotearoa), Ilmars Gravis (Geoconservation Trust Aotearoa), Chris Twemlow (Geoconservation Trust Aotearoa; Department of Conservation)
