ABSTRACT

Geodiversity refers to the overall landscape and interaction of geologic features, terrain, and soil, and hydraulic features among the Earth's components. It includes the interrelationships between these individual elements, their combination, structure, system, and overall landscape. Geodiversity is a concept that is paired with biodiversity and is a collective entity where creatures interact and ecosystem services are achieved. Meanwhile, the European Geosciences Union (EGU), the largest association of geo-sciences in Europe held annually in April, is the meeting where many research results related to the geodiversity are presented. The presentation session opened in 2012 at the first time. A total of 272 papers were presented at the meetings from 2012 to 2018. The presentations include aspects of description of geological sites itself; geodiversity including geological and geological resources and relationships with human life, history, and culture; research on systems and management techniques for designating and managing geoheritage-related sites or areas; the technical aspects including mapping and utilization of the related techniques; the development of field trip courses, education programs and geotourism to introducing educational contents and programs, and so on. The studies of geodiversity are changing emphasis on the relevance of human societies from the study of the academic values and characteristics of various geoheritage sites. In particular, the relationship between landforms and human history has been emphasized. On the other hand, in terms of linking education and tourism, it is emphasizing the use of various new technologies, introduction of active participation method of education and visitors, diversification of knowledge delivery method and level at each site.
