Ardanuç (Artvin, Türkiye) district is a region with great potential for geotourism due to its natural, historical and cultural assets. However, there are currently no comprehensive studies that fully evaluate this strong geotourism potential. Throughout the study, the aim is to use both scientific and traditional approaches to preserve this heritage on a scientific basis and pass it on to future generations. Comparative and future conclusions can be drawn by mankind about the geological processes affecting the canyons and their significance today. The details and morphological features of the Cehennem Deresi Canyon(s), which developed in two different directions, and their value in different areas were determined.

The selection of geoclimbing sites and geotrekking routes is aimed at combining multimedia tools and outdoor activities for Geosciences promotion and conservation in UNESCO Global Geoparks, aspiring geoparks or geoparks project, and also in protected areas featuring geoheritage sites. Indeed, both outdoor activities and multimedia tools favour the pursuing of many of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (e.g., 3, 4, 8, 11). An international consortium of geoscientists from 12 different countries selected, through the proposed procedure, 22 geoclimbing sites, and then they also detected 30 geotrekking routes mirroring Earth geodiversity. At some test sites (geoclimbing and geotrekking) multimedia tools and digital outcrop models have been developed through different methodological approaches (e.g., Structure from Motion and Multi-View Stereo photogrammetry), to open the way to the second part of the project still in progress.

The municipality of Riemst, Belgium, is used as a case study because of the high density of underground quarries found there, and which are prone to frequent collapses related to the historical underground exploitation. As not all underground quarries have been mapped, a mobile laser scanner has been employed to aid the mapping surveys. This paper investigates how this method and its data can be used in the field of geoheritage and safety studies of underground quarries. The mobile laser scanner is an effective tool in mapping the vast underground networks, as well as georeferencing and mapping underground voids that are inaccessible for normal surveyors using a total station. The large amount of data, obtained by various surveys provides a high level of detail in which different structures and features can be identified. The results demonstrate the presence of different typologies of entrances, gallery morphologies and outlines in various underground quarries. It also appears to be a valuable tool in visualizing and identifying geological and stability features, such as karst, pillar instability and collapse areas. It can be concluded that in the field of safety management and geoheritage studies a mobile laser scanner proves to be an efficient method for mapping, documenting the underground landscape and describing different structural elements of underground quarries.</p>","PeriodicalId":48924,"journal":{"name":"Geoheritage","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-07-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141614145","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
