Natural processes and biodiversity are under pressure, especially in the human-dominated region of Central Europe. Therefore, an effective approach is needed for the conservation of the last fragments of valuable habitats. Šumava National Park is one of the biggest relatively natural forested areas within the cultural landscapes of Czechia and Central Europe. It has been protected since 1991 as a National Park, but management has been changed several times; thus, we would like to create a map with nature protection prioritization based on objective procedures and data to help manage the National Park with regard to its goals. We used occurrence data for 50 selected key fauna and flora species and made habitat suitability models; furthermore, data derived from the habitat mapping layer describing the quality of habitats were prepared. These data were inputs for prioritization ZONATION software resulting in a prioritization map, which could be compared with the current zonation of the National Park.

In this study, we investigated the Zicavo Metamorphic Complex (southern Corsica), which is part of the innermost Axial Zone of the Corsica-Sardinia Variscan belt. To better evaluate its geological and structural outline, a 1:5000 geological map, coupled with new structural/microstructural and petrographic data, is presented. The complex is formed by three tectonic units, from bottom to top: (i) an Orthogneiss Unit, (ii) a Leptyno-Amphibolite Unit, and (iii) a Micaschist Unit. They are separated by ductile shear zones with a top-to-the-SE sense of shear. They underwent a polyphase deformation and polymetamorphic history, with a shortening stage in the amphibolite facies, responsible for the main structures and shearing, followed by an exhumation phase.

Detailed glacial geomorphological maps are valuable for identifying target sites for palaeoglaciological reconstructions and thus for palaeoclimate inferences. In this study, we present the first detailed glacial geomorphological mapping of the landform assemblages produced by the former glaciers in the Notsarula (42°45′44″N 43°38′29″E) and Chanchakhi (42°42′5″N 43°40′42″E) river valleys, Georgian Caucasus. Our goal is to create a high-resolution (1:33,000 scale) glacial geomorphological map of this area (237 km2) and provide a detailed and accurate distribution of glacier-related features (see Main Map). Several field investigations between 2010 and 2022 along with detailed remote sensing surveys have been conducted for this glacial geomorphological mapping. The mapped landforms indicate multiple readvance or stillstands of valley glaciers across the study area. The largest and complex glacier body likely existed in the Bubistskali River gorge (42°43′16″N 43°43′32″E). Well-preserved moraine landforms in this valley suggest at least five large and several relatively small glacier readvances or stillstands occurred during the Late Quaternary. The simple-valley-type (without branches) glaciers were also probably present in other tributary valleys of the Chanchakhi River basin at that time. This map can be used for further geomorphological investigation as well as to support future geochronological work in the Greater Caucasus.

On 26th November 2022, a heavy cloudburst affected Ischia Island (Southern Italy) causing a flash flood and triggering several flowslides. The most affected municipality was Casamicciola Terme, where this event produced 12 casualties, more than 200 people evacuated and several damages to the buildings and the road network. The largest flowslide involved Celario watershed, which started as a small slide (around 10 m3) on the top of Mt. Epomeo at 703 m a.s.l. of height and impacted downward at 645 m a.s.l., successively channelising in the catchment. This study summarises the geological and geomorphological evidence collected during the field investigation of the Celario flowslide and analyses the remotely sensed UAV data to reconstruct the occurred scenario. Finally, some considerations on the relationships between the occurred damage and the flowslide impact are discussed.

This research presents a set of geomorphological and geoheritage evidence from the Piana Crixia Natural Park, located in the northwest part of Italy. The Natural Park, which covers an area of just under 8 km2, was established for the conservation and enhancement of two geosites: the Piana Crixia mushroom, a 15 m high earth pyramid shaped in conglomerates representing an example of runoff erosion, and badlands landforms that crop out in the area, representing a regional uniqueness and characterize a landscape defined the ‘Langhe of Liguria’. The methodology includes bibliographic research, aerial photographs, fieldwork and analysis of the data provided by the Park's archives. The main maps were realized by combining lithological and geomorphological data with geoheritage elements and information about hiking and tourism. The 1:10,000 map represents the main area of the Piana Crixia Natural Park, while the 1:3000 map was designed to characterize the Piana Crixia mushroom.

The Southern Apennines consist of a Cenozoic to Quaternary fold and thrust belt characterized by a complex structural architecture. In the axial portion of the chain, corresponding to the Agri Valley, folds and faults with multiple styles formed during the progressive emplacement of various tectonic units, derived from different paleodomains. In the available geological maps, the geometry of these tectonic structures is often hindered by scarce cartographic detail due to the use of basic stratigraphic subdivisions. Therefore, at the aim to better define these structures and contextually update the outcropping stratigraphic units, we realized a detailed geological map, which take into consideration not only the formation as basic stratigraphic units, but also finer subdivisions such as members or beds. Using this approach, we improved the stratigraphy of the area, we recognized new geological units and, eventually, we reconstructed the structural setting, and the tectonic evolution of the Agri Valley in detail.

The Courel Mountains Geopark is in Galicia, Northwest Spain. Its total area is 578.29 km2. Parallel valleys and ridges characterize its relief from North to South. Their maximum altitude reaches 1,641 m. Their lithology is dominated by slates, quartzites, and limestones, together with small diabase outcrops. Materials are intensely fractured due to the tectonic dynamics that started during the Cenozoic, and sedimentary formations accumulated in response to environmental changes during the Pleistocene are abundant. As a result, a wide variety of structural landforms are present, along with a wide range of landforms and deposits of alluvial, fluvial, glacial, and periglacial origin. All of them have been mapped to enable sustainable use and management aimed at improving the livelihood of the inhabitants of the geopark area, which has suffered depopulation in recent decades.

The geographical configuration of northwest Ethiopia has changed often and significantly during the previous four centuries, according to a meta-analysis of historical maps. Boundary lines of languages in use and of territorial control were reported on the Main Map. Sixty-six coeval historical maps depict the territorial control of Western Tigray, also known as Welkait and its surrounding districts. The area is specifically recorded as part of Tigray from 1707 to 1794, 1831 to 1886, and 1939 to 1941. From 1891 to 1909 and 1944 to 1990, it is labelled as being a part of Amhara or Gondar. Welkait is shown in other eras as either being autonomous or a component of a broader Mezaga lowland territory. The agreement of 32 ethnolinguistic maps of northern Ethiopia from the twentieth century sustains the post-1991 extent of the Tigray region in the districts located between the Tekeze River and the Sudanese border.

We present the first geological map of the Neruda Quadrangle (H13), Mercury. H13 is in Mercury’s southern hemisphere between latitudes 22.5°S–65°S, and longitudes 90°E–180° covering a total area of just under 5 million km², equivalent to 6.5% of the planet’s surface. Map digitisation was carried out at scales between 1:300,000 and 1:700,000 for final presentation at 1:3,000,0000, from end-of-mission data products from NASA’s MESSENGER mission. We distinguish three main photogeologic plains units: intercrater, intermediate, and smooth plains. We also distinguish all craters and their materials ≥ 20 km in diameter based on their degradation state. We have completed two versions of the map, one using a three-class crater degradation scheme and one using a five-class crater degradation scheme. In addition, specific geological units were charted for the Rembrandt impact basin. This map has been constructed to provide context and targets for the ESA-JAXA BepiColombo mission to Mercury.

This study emphasizes the critical role of air conditioning (AC) in preventing heat-related illnesses such as heat exhaustion and heatstroke. The challenge of limited geographic coverage and outdated AC availability data hampers effective heat risk mapping and prevention efforts. We identified areas with significant AC needs and examined factors related to AC ownership in Florida, U.S. Local Indicators of Spatial Association results displayed distinct AC ownership disparities, with high-high clusters in coastal and metropolitan areas and AC-deficient clusters inland. Vulnerable urban communities, predominantly inhabited by marginalized groups, had limited to no AC availability. The Spatial Durbin Model results revealed a significant correlation between AC ownership and socioeconomic and urban factors. Notably, a higher proportion of AC-deficient households were in predominantly African-American neighborhoods, underscoring racial disparities in AC ownership. These findings provide valuable insights for targeted interventions to mitigate heat-related risks and adapt to evolving climate conditions in vulnerable neighborhoods.
