Geodiversity assessment for geomorphosites management: Derborence and Illgraben, Swiss Alps
Geological Society, London, Special Publications, 2023 Abstract The paper reports on a geodiversity assessment method at the local scale based on spatial multi-criteria analysis (S-MCA). The study area consists of two geomorphosites: Derborence and Illgraben, located in the Swiss Alps and representative of different types of morphodynamics. Apart from glacial and fluvial landforms, the morphology
