, 2018 Geodiversity Action Plans are used widely within the United Kingdom to inform and record action for geodiversity and geoconservation. They encompass both site-based audit and conservation with a wider perspective on geodiversity resources available in an agreed area (such as geological sites, museum collections and building stones) with ambitions to ...

Investigaciones GeográficasGeodiversity is defined by constituents that include geology, geomorphology, soils, surface waters and groundwater. Here, geodiversity indices are calculated in units of 625 km2 on the basis of three subindices, geology (types of rock), geomorphology (types of landforms) and soil types, expressed in raster images with a resolution of 500 m, and a cell ...

Geodiversity Research Methods in Geotourism [PDF]
Geosciences, 2018 With the emerging new approaches in the field of geodiversity, we can get better use of geographic space in geoparks and increase the number of geotourism destinations. Depending on what we want to study in geodiversity, a suitable research method should be adopted. No method is wrong, because various features of objects be examined this manner.
