Geodiversity Supports Cultural Ecosystem Services: an Assessment Using Social Media [PDF]
Geoheritage, 2022 AbstractGeodiversity is under threat from both anthropogenic activities and environmental change which therefore requires active management in the form of geoconservation to minimise future damage. As research on the role of geodiversity on ecosystem service (ES) provision has been limited, there is a need to improve our understanding of which aspects ...

Tasmanian reserve geoconservation inventory assessment using Geographic Information Technology (GIT)
International Journal of Geoheritage and Parks, 2021 Geoconservation is, at its foundation, a grass-roots movement with geoheritage represented by geosites containing the most scientifically significant and valuable geodiversity elements.

Geographies, 2022 In qualitative–quantitative assessment of geodiversity, geomorphology describes landscape forms suggesting specific locations as geosites. However, all digital elevation models (DEM) contain information only about altitude and coordinate systems, which ...

Quantitative Assessment of Spatial Pattern of Geodiversity in the Tibetan Plateau
Sustainability, 2022 Geodiversity is considered a new tool to exploit the resources of regional and local geotourism. Hitherto, few assessments of geodiversity have been conceived for huge geographic units. The spatial pattern of geodiversity in the Tibetan Plateau (TP) is the purpose of this study.

International Journal of Geoheritage and ParksGeodiversity assessment is a critical preliminary step for geoconservation planning and represents the foundation for any rich biodiversity system. The purposes of this research were to identify the geomorphic constraints that influence the geodiversity ...

Education Sciences, 2022 Most methods used for geoheritage inventories do not consider the quantitative assessment of the geodiversity indicators; consequently, it can happen that some geosites are wrongly inventoried as geodiversity sites and vice versa or activities for ...

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Global decarbonization has positioned lithium as a strategic mineral for electric vehicles, battery storage, and low‐carbon development. Yet its extraction raises serious environmental, political, and justice concerns that complicate dominant narratives of clean energy progress.
