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 ...

A Quantitative GIS and AHP Based Analysis for Geodiversity Assessment and Mapping [PDF]
Sustainability, 2021 In recent times, the issues of geodiversity assessment and mapping have been subject of great attention, and many evaluation methodologies, either quantitative or qualitative, have been developed. In this research, a first assessment of geodiversity in the Liguria region has been carried out, according to a quantitative method based on spatial analysis

Mapping and Analysis of Geodiversity Indices in the Xingu River Basin, Amazonia, Brazil [PDF]
Geoheritage, 2014 From the 1990s, geodiversity studies have been widely carried out in order to understand, describe and preserve the natural heritage of the abiotic environment. Geodiversity assessments have principally been conducted using geological (minerals, rocks and fossils), geomorphological (landforms and processes) and pedological variables.
