URGERE - URban GEodiversity for a Resilient Environment
Geodiversity refers to the variety of natural abiotic features, as the natural variety of geological (rocks, minerals), geomorphological (landforms, physical processes), hydrological and soil properties. The parameter “geomorphodiversity” is a measure of the dynamics of the Earth’s surface and it has a key role in conservation of biodiversity and sustainability of ecosystems. Thus, it affects evolution of the biotic world and of human life. A measure of geomorphodiversity in time relates to the evolutionary stage of the physical processes shaping the landscape. This is particularly relevant in an era of pervasive anthropic actions and even more so with the onset of climate change.
