Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When most people think geologist in a natural tourist destination is only able to tell you the rock's history (geotourism or geological tourism), the author argue: geologist able to do more than just explaining the rocks! The author offer new opportunities through his idea of tourism geology: increase visitor experience, increasing safety awareness, new tourist attraction / tourist destination, new tourism market, or even new tourism type. Tourism geology idea is able to be applied anywhere: National Park, National Monument, UNESCO Geopark, even deep ocean floor or Mars! Tourism geology idea is provided as the other new perspective on geology and tourism relation. It is about the future of tourism and also business opportunity where geological knowledge able to support various types of tourism markets, e.g. the markets of: o Sun and Beach Tourism o Adventure Tourism o Health Tourism o Medical Tourism o Cave Tourism o Volcano Tourism o Deep Sea Tourism o Moon Tourism o Mars Tourism Written by a geologist who dedicated his years to develop it, he shares his perspective in: o 1 chapter of introduction depicts the general description of the book, o 4 chapters of know-why arguments which describe tourism geology phylosophy, tourist attraction, tourist activity, safety, and impact of the activity, what make it differ with geotourism, and o 5 chapters of know-how knowledge as research demonstration. Tourism geology idea provides what should be asked to geologist and what should be delivered by geologist to tourism-related professionals (e.g. park manager, tour guide/operator, and park rangers). Hence, those two professions able to communicate in the same content and same context. The content is to deliver proper geological knowledge, while the context is tourist attraction. The book is the first tourism geology textbook, the real geological application for tourism to support tourism-related professionals. Get Free ebooks: https://yudispurnama.com/free-resources/).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Geotourism, as a form of sustainable geoheritage tourism, was defined and developed, from the early 1990s, to contextualize modern approaches to geoconservation and physical landscape management. However, its roots lie in the late seventeenth century and the emergence of the Grand Tour and its domestic equivalents in the eighteenth century. Its participants and numerous later travellers and tourists, including geologists and artists, purposefully explored wild landscapes as‘geotourists’. The written and visual records of their observations underpin the majority of papers within this volume; these papers explore some significant geo-historical themes, organizations, individuals and locations across three centuries, opening with seventeenth century elite travellers and closing with modern landscape tourists. Other papers examine the resources available to those geotourists and explore the geotourism paradigm. The volume will be of particular interest to Earth scientists, historians of science, tourism specialists and general readers with an interest in landscape history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ross K. Dowling and David Newsome present an original, substantial and much-needed contribution to the field to further our understanding of geotourism in theory and practice. This Handbook defines, characterizes and explores the subject through a range of international perspectives and case studies, identifying geotourism as a rapidly emerging form of urban and regional sustainable development. With extensive case studies from North and South America, Europe, Asia, Australasia and Africa, this global Handbook examines and explains the relationship between geology and tourism. Thematically arranged sections cover the relationship of geology with tourism, sustainability and society, geotourism in urban areas, and interpretation and education strategies. The final two sections assess geotourism's impact through wide-ranging case studies of UNESCO global geoparks and geotourism in a range of countries. The eminent academics and practitioners demonstrate how geotourism is the future for engaging the public and protecting geosites, as well as emphasising the importance of sustainability. An essential resource for students and educators, this Handbook provides an international perspective for those interested in tourism, environmental geography, ecology and geology. Written with practitioners in mind, this book reveals how tourism professionals and geologists should each know about the nexus of their subjects.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Europe's engagement from the late sixteenth century onwards in scientific Earth science inquiry has generated numerous and varied collections of minerals, rocks, and fossils, together with their associated archives, artworks and publications, forming a rich cultural geoheritage held in major private and especially royal and aristocratic collections, museums, universities, archives and libraries. The mines, quarries, geological structures, landforms, minerals, rocks and fossils - or geodiversity - that underpin these collections populate past and present-day Earth science literature. However, for too long their scientific, historic and cultural significance was not universally recognised and generally they were not accorded adequate resources and protection - or geoconservation. Hence, geotourism was developed in the 1990s to raise public awareness of Europe's geoheritage and geodiversity and to promote itsgeoconservation; the volume's theoretical essays and case studies examine these four core geoelements and provide a timely introduction for anyone interested in natural history museums, countryside management, and landscape-basedtourism. Dr Thomas A. Hose is an Honorary Research Associate in the School of Earth Sciences, University of Bristol. He has pioneered the recognition of and research into geotourism, and is the author of the world's first doctoral thesis on the subject. Contributors: Kevin Crawford, Peter Davis, John E. Gordon.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a complete set of studies of alluvial fan sediments in southern Iran from the point of view of sedimentology, sedimentary geochemistry, tectonics, economic geology, groundwater, geomorphology, hazards and telemetry. In addition, the book focuses on advanced topics and theory, which practically serves as a model for the study of this type of sediment around the world. Alluvial fans are an important and fundamental factor in many sciences such as geology, environmental science, natural hazards, groundwater science, agriculture and many other related sciences. Lack of accurate knowledge of their constituent sediments has always been an important problem for experts in many science disciplines. From the economic point of view, the identification of alluvial fan deposits is of particular importance. For example, alluvial deposits are the centre of groundwater accumulation, and most groundwater reservoirs within the sedimentary basin are fed by water from alluvial deposits. Most of the gold production in South Africa has been formed as placer deposits in ancient alluvial fans. In addition, a large amount of uranium placer deposits is extracted from old alluvial fans in sedimentary basins in South Africa. This book serves as an ideal guide for experts in earth and environmental sciences and hydrology.
