Iain Stewart Desert Stories: Mapping Jordan’s Geoheritage KIRKCALDY

Discover how Jordan’s landscapes reveal an exceptional geoheritage, where geology, culture, and history are interwoven. From desert oases to rift valleys, these environments record both Earth’s deep past and the long human story of adaptation. This talk presents geoheritage not simply as geotourism but rather as a holistic concept linking natural landscapes with cultural traditions, identity, socio-economic development and lived experience drawing on examples from the Azraq Oasis and the Aqaba Mountains.
