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 ...

Methods for assessing geodiversity
2018The assessment of geodiversity can be made with qualitative, quantitative and qualitative-quantitative methods. Qualitative methods have a descriptive character and are suitable for nominal and ordinal data. Quantitative methods are based on a set of parameters and indicators to determine a geodiversity index of a certain area. Qualitative-quantitative

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 ...

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

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 ...
