Land surface diversity: A geomorphodiversity index of Italy
Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 48, Issue 15, Page 3025-3040, December 2023., 2023 Geomorphodiversity refers to the variety of landforms and morphological processes characterizing the landscape. The definition of an index to quantify geomorphodiversity is a relevant step for Earth science, land use management, geoheritage conservation, and helps describing the interaction between abiotic and biotic compartments.

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 48, Issue 11, Page 2141-2151, 15 September 2023., 2023 I argue that a concise [decimal latitude,longitude] tuple form of geo‐referencing be used to identify landforms and sample sites, in data strings and image metadata. This form enables searching and information exchange from geomorphology into and beyond Critical Zone studies via the FAIR data principles: findability, accessibility, interoperability and
