“…Therefore, to improve the interpretation of geoheritage, the information should be presented in a more appropriate manner to non-professionals. In recent years, digital technologies have been proven to be very useful in the efficient representation of geological phenomena and for communicating the scientific outcomes to a large number of tourists (Martin 2014;Santos et al 2018;Melelli 2019).…”

The small stalactites found on the ceiling at level I near the Sutoris shaft in the thirteenth-century historic salt mine in Bochnia, Poland, are mainly composed of mirabilite (Na2SO4·10H2O) followed by blödite (Na2Mg(SO4)2·4H2O). The unique presence of these two minerals in only one location in this old underground mine is attributed to contemporary precipitation from percolating solutions. This can be caused by a combination of at least two factors: a specific and stable microclimate (characterised by a low temperature, high humidity, and relatively strong air circulation which accelerates the processes of evaporation and crystallisation) and the specific chemical composition of the leaking solution (contains a low carbonate and high sulphate content, and characterised by acidic pH (4.8) and intermediate-mineralisation (174,308 mg/L)). The microclimate specified above can be linked to the long distance from the ventilation shaft that pumps the air from the surface to the mine, while the composition of the leaking solution as well as the hydrochemical modelling results obtained with PHREEQC can be directly related to the top anhydrite layer and the overlying secondary cap consisting mainly of claystone, anhydrite, and gypsum. In this study, the challenges underlying the preservation of mirabilite in the underground environment of the salt mine are discussed, in terms of both nature and mining law. Based on the results of detailed geological, mineralogical, and chemical research, appropriate solutions that can be practically applied for the management, preservation, and protection of the mirabilite efflorescence are proposed. The presence of this intriguing mineral, with appropriate protection, can be another geological attraction for tourists visiting this thirteenth-century UNESCO-recognised salt mine.

Interactions between cultural heritage, tourism, and pedagogy deserve investigation in an as-built environment under a macro- or micro-perspective of urban fabric. The heritage site of Shih Yih Hall, Lukang, was explored. An Augmented Reality Tourism System (ARTS) was developed on a smartphone-based platform for a novel application scenario using 3D scans converted from a point cloud to a portable interaction size. ARTS comprises a real-time environment viewing module, a space-switching module, and an Augmented Reality (AR) guide graphic module. The system facilitates scenario initiations, projection and superimposition, annotation, and interface customization, with software tools developed using ARKit® on the iPhone XS Max®. The three-way interaction between urban fabric, cultural heritage tourism, and pedagogy was made possible through background block-outs and an additive or selective display. The illustration of the full-scale experience of the smartphone app was made feasible for co-relating the cultural dependence of urban fabric on tourism. The great fidelity of 3D scans and AR scenes act as a pedagogical aid for students or tourists. A Post-Study System Usability Questionnaire (PSSUQ) evaluation verified the usefulness of ARTS.

Morphometric characterisation is particularly relevant in the study of geomorphological heritage. 3D modelling techniques have been proven as very useful tools to recognise, characterise and valorise geomorphosites. Bedrock rivers account for one of the most outstanding aspects within geomorphological heritage due to the amount of distinctive and attractive geomorphological features associated to them and the high preservation of sculpted forms. Digital elevation models (DEMs) have made it increasingly possible to establish accurate morphometric indices and establish clearer connections between forms and processes. This paper reviews different methodologies to obtain DEMs on bedrock rivers. This review goes from DEM analysis at multiple spatial scales to introduce optical microrugosimeter as the latest technical development to facilitate micromorphometric analysis. Micromorphometric analysis opens the scope for improving the knowledge we have on trans-scale issues in bedrock rivers. Micromorphometric analysis also opens a new layer of information that enriches the public's valuation of geodiversity of geomorphosites by increasing its didactic and interpretative potential.
