Geoheritage requires proper conservation and has significant importance for geoscience education at universities. Furthermore, its related potential needs to be evaluated. This study focuses on two textbook localities (these are parts of larger geosites) from the Cenozoic orogenic belts, namely Zagros Greater Caucasus. The novel, tentatively proposed approach aims general geological characteris...

Magmatic belts mostly situated in northern eastern parts O...

introduction long-term climate records are valuable for environmental planning, and tree rings allow records to extend to the time before the establishment of weather stations. for a better understanding of the past climate fluctuation and to mitigate the effect of climate fluctuation, dendroclimatic reconstructions have been applied in many parts of the world. inter annual variations of climat...
