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.
