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.

Climate change will challenge the management of geoheritage in protected and conserved areas [PDF]
Parks Stewardship Forum, 2022 Climate change presents challenges for the management of geoheritage in protected and conserved areas at all scales from individual geosites to whole landscapes, affecting all areas of the planet. Direct impacts will principally arise through the effects of climate changes on geomorphological processes and vegetation cover, while indirect impacts will ...

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

Place re‐making and sense of place after quarrying and social‐ecological restoration
Sustainable Development, Volume 31, Issue 4, Page 2240-2255, August 2023., 2023 Abstract Rapid urbanization increases pressure on extracting construction materials through quarrying, which is disrupting and re‐making places worldwide. In this study, we examine how people's place making and sense of place are reconfigured through quarrying.
