Over the last 25 years, research on geoparks has moved from basic to comprehensive multidisciplinary studies related creation and development of geoparks, integrating principle sustainability. This focuses exploring as core subject. The aim this study is synthesize heterogeneous body knowledge about in an exhaustive way by leveraging a multi-database bibliometric approach. methodology applied based quantitative analysis using R, including its application for non-coders ensuring reliability with PRISMA Statement framework. Ten databases were taken sources papers: Web Science, Scopus, PubMed, Nature Journals, SpringerLink, Taylor & Francis, Wiley IEEE Xplore, CABI. method we used limitations, providing restricted number trends aligned scaled database boundary conditions analysis. main goals are follows: (1) impact data integration—Evaluating how merging ten improves coverage. (2) Global trends—Identifying evolution geopark-related over time. (3) Three-year forecast—Predicting upcoming directions polynomial regression model. (4) Academic performance—Assessing geographical distribution, citation impact, productivity laws. (5) Conceptual contribution—Identifying key themes that drive future potential areas exploration. Among these, highlighted elements. integration provides 63% greater insight into scientific compared Science (WoS) database. Geographically, output spans 102 countries, China leading production two decades. most impactful paper accumulated 768 citations, while Ruben D.A. Wu Fandong emerge prolific authors.

The Rudny Altai is a western segment of the orogenic belt. Its geological richness makes its geoheritage exploration an urgent matter. Investigations in Loktevsky District (Altai Region, Russian Federation) have led to finding three notable localities, which are proposed as geosites. Field investigations and both qualitative semi-quantitative (scoring by criteria) studies were carried out characterize value properties these localities. Neverovsky palaeoreef relatively large geosite, representing Frasnian reef developed on volcanic edifice. Zolotukha section Razdolnoe smaller geosites deep-marine facies Giventian–Frasnian transition late Frasnian, respectively. Seven types established palaeoreef, four other two Examination rarity, accessibility, vulnerability, allows ranking globally regionally. need special geoconservation measures (especially regarding their rich fossil content). can be used for promotion local tourism.

Geomorphosite inventory remains an urgent task for many geographical domains where it can facilitate the exploration of geoheritage resources. The present study reports a new and sufficient portion information from Mountainous Adygeya in southwestern Russia, which is geoheritage-rich area western part Greater Caucasus Mountains. Cossack, Monk, Three Teeth mountains were analyzed qualitatively semi-quantitatively. Their morphology geological settings described, their properties scored by several criteria, cultural meanings considered. It was established that total heritage values these geomorphosites are comparable. challenging accessibility landforms offset availability sites distant observation.

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 characteristics localities, identification principal teaching topics opportunities, semi-quantitative evaluation educational basis several objective criteria. Abmorghan anticline (Zagros, Iran) is suitable learning about regional Paleogene stratigraphy, carbonate platform evolution, karst. locality Skala monocline (Greater Caucasus, Russia) allows deposition in past tropical conditions structures explained.
