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).

A New Methodological Contribution for the Geodiversity Assessment: Applicability to Ceará State (Brazil) [PDF]
Geoheritage, 2017 The concept of geodiversity aggregates the abiotic elements of nature and promotes the geoconservation. The main objective of this work is to contribute to the upgrade of the method for the assessment and quantification of geodiversity proposed by Pereira et al. (2013).

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 ...

The use of geomorphons in geodiversity assessment
2021<p>The quantification of geodiversity has become an important task for researchers just after the formulation of the definition. For &#8216;measuring&#8217; the values of the physical environment, many quantitative assessment models were presented in the past decades. The common characteristic of these methods is that they

Assessing regional geodiversity: the Iberian Peninsula
Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 2009AbstractGeodiversity is a landscape characteristic related to the heterogeneity of the physical properties of the earth surface. In this work, we quantify and compare geodiversity in several geodynamic zones of the Iberian Peninsula. For this purpose, we have developed a geographic information system (GIS) procedure to carry out a regional terrain ...

A quantitative assessment of geodiversity in UNESCO Global Geoparks
2021<p>UNESCO Global Geoparks aim to protect globally significant geoheritage and geodiversity. However, the representativeness of geodiversity in these geoparks has never been quantified in a global context. Here, we quantify geodiversity in 147 UNESCO Global Geoparks and compare the outcome to global, Asian and European geodiversity using a
