Editorial Board Members' Collection Series: "Trends and Prospects in Geoheritage, Geoparks, and Geotourism"

Dear Colleagues,

In recent years, the fields of Geoheritage, Geoparks, and Geotourism have experienced a notable surge in research activity, highlighting their pivotal roles in shaping scientific understanding, environmental conservation, and human culture preservation. By delving into the inherent value of geological and geomorphological sites as repositories of Earth's history and crucial resources for scientific inquiry, we aim to deepen appreciation for these landscapes.

This Special Issue aims to provide a platform for interdisciplinary exploration and dialogue, unraveling the complexities of geoheritage research and offering insights into the conservation, management, and promotion of geological features and landforms. Studies within this Special Issue will explore the conceptual frameworks underpinning geopark establishment and management, as well as investigations into the evolving landscape of geotourism and its implications for sustainable development.

We welcome contributions from researchers worldwide, with a focus on leveraging advanced technologies such as geostatistics, geophysics, GIS, and various techniques for the analysis of big data. We sincerely invite you to join us on this significant journey of exploration and discovery.
