Geodiversity Assessment with Crowdsourced Data and Spatial Multicriteria Analysis [PDF]
ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information, 2020 This paper presents an approach to geodiversity assessment based on spatial multicriteria analysis. Instead of relying solely on weighted linear combination (WLC) for aggregating factor ratings and weights to compute a synthetic measure of geodiversity ...

Quantitative-Qualitative Method for Quick Assessment of Geodiversity [PDF]
Land, 2021 The article demonstrates a method for quantitative-qualitative geodiversity assessment based on core elements of abiotic nature (geology and geomorphology) according to a proposed weight multiplied by the area of spread through the studied region.

Inventory and Quantitative Assessment of Geosites and Geodiversity Sites: a Review [PDF]
Geoheritage, 2015 The inventory and quantitative assessment of the most valuable occurrences of geodiversity are essential steps in any geoconservation strategy and in the establishment of priorities in site management. Despite the existence of many site inventories applied to different scales (countries, municipalities, parks, etc.), the criteria used for their ...

Geodiversity Assessment of Paraná State (Brazil): An Innovative Approach [PDF]
Environmental Management, 2013 Geodiversity is considered as the natural range of geological, geomorphological, and soil features, including their assemblages, relationships, properties, interpretations, and systems. A method developed for the quantitative assessment of geodiversity was applied to Paraná, a Brazilian state with an area of about 200,000 km(2).
