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).
