Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, a significant acceleration in the use of advanced technologies across various fields has been witnessed. These modern tools allow us to develop and test new methods for managing different aspects of our personal and professional lives, as well as allowing for the exploration of new research opportunities. In the fields of geoheritage and geoconservation, these technologies support a wide range of theoretical and practical studies related to definition, management, protection, and dissemination.
This Special Issue aims to collect papers covering a broad range of theoretical and practical topics related to the sustainable management of geoheritage and geoconservation.
We welcome contributions that focus on leveraging advanced technologies and techniques for data analysis. We also emphasize the importance of protecting, conserving, enhancing, and promoting the educational and touristic enjoyment of geoheritage in its broadest sense. We sincerely invite you to join us in this sharing of ideas and experiences.
