Geodiversity of the Umbria region (central Italy): a GIS–based quantitative index. [PDF]

open access: possible, 2014
The measure of natural range related to geological bedrock, landforms and geomorphological processes is the necessary starting point to geodiversity evaluation. Geodiversity plays a strategic role in landscape management. Whereas geotourism and geosites are identified as a driving power for the scientific and economic promotion of an area, the ...

Quantitative Geodiversity Index: GIS & spatial analysis for assessment and selection of geomorphosites

2013
The research centered on geoconservation and geotourism stressed qualitative methods focusing on the definition, identification, study and development of geosites. Although the excellent results achieved by scientific international research, the topic of quantitative evaluation of geodiversity is still an open field.
