An open-source tool for automated geodiversity assessment
2022<p>Geodiversity assessment is a key element of geoconservational activities. It reveals the variety of earth scientific features of the examined areas highlighting the zones that may be further analysed for scientific and tourism purposes.

Current trends and future directions in quantitative geodiversity assessment
Progress in Physical Geography: Earth and Environment, 2020Geodiversity assessment is recent and is passing through a stage of methodological development and consolidation. With rapid environmental change, improving the developmental states of geodiversity assessment is of paramount importance. A scientometric analysis is presented to identify knowledge gaps, current trends and avenues for future research in ...

Geodiversity assessment of French Guiana: the need to integrate geodiversity within land-planning
2022Studies on geodiversity have been gaining prominent interest among the geoscientific community over the last decades. As operational concept, geodiversity implies a measurement and its application narrowed to a given spatial area. However, such concept is often integrated to support planning perspectives that focus mostly on geoconservation, neglecting

Gd-ratio as a quantitative geoindicator of geodiversity assessment
2020<p>Recently, there have been many methods for assessing geodiversity. During comparative studies, not all of these methods allow you to clearly identify which area is more or less geodiverse. <strong>We propose the Gd-ratio geoindicator, which defines the ratio of areas with very_low_and_low geodiversity to areas ...

A new quantitative assessment method for the geoeducational potential of the geodiversity
2023Nowadays, many geoscientists have been engaged in the promotion of areas of significant  geoheritage, which includes geosites that incorporate geological, paleontological and geomorphological features, together with cultural and historical features (Zafeiropoulos et al., 2021).Geosites can be used as outdoor classrooms, where students can ...

Two-level assessment of threats to geodiversity and geoheritage
2022<p>Geoconservation is an action of conserving and enhancing geological, geomorphological, hydrological and soil features and processes, sites and specimens. Originally and usually, the geoconservation activities aim at preserving specific sites of Earth-science interest, respectively geoheritage.

A Spatial Method for the Geodiversity Fragmentation Assessment of Basilicata Region, Southern Italy
2021The heterogeneity of the abiotic factor, or geodiversity, is an important issue for the landscape genetics. In this paper, a spatial method for the assessment of the geodiversity of Basilicata region in southern Italy is proposed through the use of fragmentation indexes.

Geodiversity Assessment Methods: An Updated Framework
The concept of geodiversity has gained increasing recognition since its introduction in the 1990s. Unfortunately its assessment remains a challenge due to the lack of a well-defined methodological framework. Geodiversity assessment plays a crucial role in understanding and managing abiotic nature, influencing geoconservation, spatial planning, and ...Zbigniew Zwoliński +2 more

Comparison of grid and non-grid types of scaling for geodiversity assessment
2022<p>The current state of geodiversity estimates still lack of complete strategy of assessments in comparison with its analogue, biodiversity. This issue connects with the number of differences between these terminologies and existing form of their elements.
