Concepts of geoparks establishment in Bulgaria and their geothermal resources
Abstract Bulgaria is the third country in the world by number of mineral springs after Japan and Iceland. The Bulgarian-Russian collaboration in geological, environmental and landscape conservation provided a new development of the methodology for identification, evaluation and characterization of g...
