They occur in the form of volcanic cones, volcanic necks or plugs, remnants of volcanic craters, plateaus and other forms that are most prominent in the areas of extinct volcanic activity. The significance of the objects of the geoheritage is based on their defined values. Upon the termination of the volcanic activity to date, the volcanic forms are significantly morphologically modified mostly as a result of the large erosive processes and anthropogenic influences. Therefore, the prominent palaeo-volcanic relief forms that are part of the geoheritage need adequate protection. They deserve special attention, due to the fact that some of them are natural rarities that exceed not only the borders of the Balkan Peninsula but also in Europe.","PeriodicalId":179095,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings 2018","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126057626","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The objective on this research is, initially to collect and analyze all the available data information of the examined 10-year (2008-2017) period for the area of Macedonia, Greece and based upon all these information to develop the lightning climatology for the area of interest by creating lightning density maps on an annual, seasonal and monthly bases of total and positive-only lightning strike activities. Moreover, climatological analyses and studies are also performed for the “warm periods” (April to September) and for the “cold periods” (October to March) of the year, in order to investigate any temporal and spatial characteristics of lightning flashes, and particularly to emphasize and focus on days with excessive lightning. It is believed that studying the aforementioned characteristics of the previous 10 years lightning events (climatology), it provides useful information about risk areas, where property or life are threatened.","PeriodicalId":179095,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings 2018","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126669293","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The examined municipalities are subject to suburbanization, whereas their new habitants originate from various cities of the polycentric core. The aforementioned leads to urban sprawl and the development of dwelling function (residential) in the metropolitan area.

SHD provides useful information on the timing of formation and stabilization of periglacial and paraglacial landforms. These landforms are often associated to be geomorphological footprints of climatic cooling during the late Quaternary and the Holocene. The landform ages from the western location show that those landforms reacted more sensitively to climatic fluctuations, as many of periglacial landforms were re-mobilized and stabilized in the late Holocene. This is in contrast to the eastern study area, where most of the landforms stabilized in the late Quaternary. The estimated SHD ages show that the landforms in the eastern study area were not re-mobilized during several cold climate periods following the last deglaciation. All landforms investigated appear to be relict without recent process dynamics. We explain this by the sufficient moisture supply which enhances processes responsible for periglacial landforms formation and re-mobilization in the maritime western fjord region.","PeriodicalId":179095,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings 2018","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123915099","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Natural tourism resources, as an important part of this totality, contribute significantly to the formation of the reputation of the territory. More than two-thirds of the trips are directed to these resources. Therefore, they can be decisive. Bulgaria's natural tourism resources are varied and specific. Their peculiarities are determined by the location of the country in temperate latitudes along the fringe of the subtropics and bordering the Black Sea and the Danube. Having many mountains is also important for Bulgarian tourism and for shaping the tourist image of Bulgaria. The purpose of the paper is to analyze the use and to determine the importance of Bulgaria's natural tourism resources for the formation of the country's tourist reputation.

The sequences of the forest phases in Holocene are well known because of the studies made by the School of Palynology from Cluj (Romania). These have shown that past vegetation dynamics are not uniform in the Romanian Carpathians, as initially believed. The Ink quaking bog is situated in the contact area of the Carpathians and the Subcarpathians Curvature’s sector at the altitude of 560 meters. The surrounding vegetation is highlighted by deciduous forest and meadow or swamp vegetation, having mesotrophic and meso-eutrophic characteristics. The peat bog deposit layer is 70-80 cm thick, and it’s represented by a very darkened made of soil peat bog, with some maceration variations. The swamp was dug with a gravity corer, attached with collecting tubes, which allowed a continuous circulation of the inner material column. The samples were collected for the sporopollenin analysis and radiocarbon dating (C). The material collected from the -65 cm layer, dating from 7861±50 B.P., was placed at the limit between Boreal and Atlantic (Alnus 27,6%; Ulmus 16,35%; Tilia 12.78%; Quercus – 5.45%; Picea 4.94%; Pinus 4.1%;).

The contact area between the Eastern SubCarpathians, in their middle part, and the Central Moldavian Plateau present a series of morphological peculiarities determined by a corrugated and varied structure, by an alternation of tough hard rocks and the action of the flowing water. These morphohydrographic peculiarities corroborated with climatic conditions dependent on the latitude, orientation and altitude of the major relief forms are determinant for genesis and flow regime. The first advantage in studying small river basins is that the results can be extrapolated for larger basins. Also, the magnitude of the analyzed data is smaller. The results of this study can certainly provide important information and can contribute to the implementation of effective measures in order to protect and prevent floods. The results of this study play an important role in the elaboration of hydrological prognosis of immediate or long-term utility because it is necessary to know in detail the variability in time and space of some hydrological parameters.
