The article demonstrates a method for quantitative-qualitative geodiversity assessment based on core elements of abiotic nature (geology and geomorphology) according to a proposed weight multiplied by the area of spread through the studied region. The territory of the Coromandel Peninsula was selected as a case study due to its diverse geology and geomorphology. The north part of the Peninsula (Port Jackson, Fletcher Bay and Port Charles districts) was chosen because of the variety of rock types (sedimentary and volcanic groups) covering the region, while historical stratovolcano remnants and old sediments provide a good variety of meadow hills and weathered coastal cliffs. Meanwhile, the method utilizes easily accessible data (topographical and geological map) to assess slope angle (morphometry) and rock groups, including their age (geology) to identify areas in the sample region with significant geodiversity values. Moreover, the aim of this research is to make the assessment of geodiversity simpler and more accessible for various parts of the world with minimal required information. In this paper, we provide access to improve and utilize this method in geologically diverse territories to select the best areas for geotourism, geoeducation and geconservation planning.

The Impact

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to define suitable tracers that are particularly significant in assessing the impact on the surrounding environment caused by a steel making plant. Design/methodology/approach – The authors focussed on the detection and quantification of inorganic pollutants such as heavy metals in the soil and in the air in the surrounding area of the steel making plant. The presented data, concerning a plant in the North part of Italy, come from an approach that took into account the advantages of different devices and sampling criteria: apart from conventional devices, two kinds of deposimeters have been used (for characterizing either total or wet/dry depositions). Their locations have been chosen taking into account the distance from the plant. Findings – The paper demonstrates that the presence of diffused emissions plays an important (negative) role still today; thus a modern plant should reduce this kind of emission in order to be accepted from the population living in the surroundings. In the analyzed case study, the benefits of adopting the best available technologies can be seen from the temporal variability of the incidence of the plant. Originality/value – The value of the paper is in the support that it can give to decision makers that must manage a steel making plant in an area.

Explanatory notes to the Geological Map of Greenland, 1:100 000, Ussuit 67 V.2 Nord. Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland Map Series 3, 1-40. https://doi.org/10.34194/geusm.v3.4596 _______________ The Ussuit map area is situated around the inner Nassuttooq (Nordre Strømfjord) in central West Greenland, in the core of the Palaeoproterozoic Nagssugtoqidian orogen. The orogen largely consists of reworked Archaean gneisses, as well as Palaeoproterozoic ortho- and paragneisses in its central part. Easy access through the branched fjord system and good exposures along its coastlines, combined with less intense reworking compared to neighbouring areas to the west and south, have made the Ussuit map area the most intensely studied and best known part of the orogen. The most recent research and mapping projects were organised by the Danish Lithosphere Centre (1994–1999) and the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland (2000–2001). The predominant rocks are late Archaean tonalitic and granodioritic orthogneisses, intruded by postkinematic granites. Archaean supracrustal rocks are predominantly of mafic composition, but only few have been recognised. Palaeoproterozoic rocks occur as tectonic sheets (the Ussuit unit) which are always in tectonic contact with the Archaean orthogneisses. The most abundant Palaeoproterozoic rock types are biotite schist and biotite-bearing paragneiss, besides orthogneiss of the Arfersiorfik intrusive suite. The latter rocks are mainly deformed quartz diorites intrusive into the metasedimentary rocks and interpreted as remnants of a magmatic arc above a subduction zone. The Ussuit unit also includes amphibolite, marble and calc-silicate rocks, and lenses of ultrabasic rocks. Small bodies of younger syn- and post-tectonic granites occur throughout the map area. The interleaved Palaeoproterozoic and Archaean rocks form a major anticlinal fold structure between two crustal-scale shear zones, the Nordre Strømfjord shear zone in the north and the Nordre Isortoq steep belt in the south. These shear zones formed during the latest ductiledeformation event (D4), following ductile thrusting (D1) and kilometre-scale folding (D2 and D3). The deformation and high grade metamorphism are the result of collision of two Archaean blocks at c. 1850 Ma, with a presumed strongly deformed suture rooted in the southern Ussuit area. No economically feasible mineral occurrences have been discovered to date within the Ussuit map area. Minor sulphide mineralisation related to hydrothermal activity occurs in faults and shear zones, and minor stratabound iron formations have been observed. The most promising industrial mineral deposits are minor diopside occurrences and potential dimension stone in migmatised orthogneiss.

Abstract The geological structure of the Bełchatów area is very complicated as a result of tectonic and sedimentation processes. The long-term exploitation of the Bełchatów field influenced the development of horizontal displacements. The variety of factors that have impact on the Bełchatów western slope stability conditions, forced the necessity of complex geotechnical monitoring. The geotechnical monitoring of the western slope was carried out with the use of slope inclinometers. From 2005 to 2013 fourteen slope inclinometers were installed, however, currently seven of them are in operation. The present analysis depicts inclinometers situated in the north part of the western slope, for which the largest deformations were registered. The results revealed that the horizontal displacements and formation of slip surfaces are related to complicated geological structure and intensive tectonic deformations in the area. Therefore, the influence of exploitation marked by changes in slope geometry was also noticeable.

Rice is a staple food and daily routine for Malaysians. Currently, the increasing population in Malaysia has led to the need to increase rice production with more quality. Therefore,the government established a scheme with national organic standards, MS 1259: 2015 which is myOrganic certification to recognize organic farms. Koperasi ABSB is the first rice farm that obtained this certification. Thus, the aims of this study are to explore the implementation of myOrganic in Koperasi ABSB and the barriers faced by this cooperative to implementing myOrganic certification. Qualitative method is used in this case study through interviews and observation. The finding showed that the implementation of myOrganic is as follows, by register myGAP, register myOrganic, Department of Agricultural Malaysia (DOA) will send a supervisor, prepare nine files or records, perform internal and external audit, and renew myOrganic. This study is expected to increase awareness of organic farming practices and promote the implementation of myOrganic in agriculture industry especially for the new farmer who wants to register and obtain myOrganic certification.
