This book records the geoheritage values of globally significant,
yet little-known, volcanic geosites in Saudi Arabia. It is the
first of its kind to focus on the Middle East, clearly showing
the hidden geoheritage value of the volcanic Arabian Peninsula’s
harrats and demonstrating why the Saudi Arabian volcanic fields
are unique. Along with the systematic geosite description, the
book introduces scientifically founded geoeducational programs
that can be used to develop our understanding of volcanic
geoheritage values of volcanic fields. It offers a detailed and
comprehensive research-based description of four of the most
accessible volcanic harratts in Saudi Arabia and an additional
summary of other more remote fields. Additionally, it discusses
geoeducational programs that could be used to link these volcanic
areas and use them in volcanic hazard education.
