Escalonamento de plataformas de erosão marinha na praia de Fornelos (Montedor, ...

The present study identifies the staircase development of shore platforms at Montedor - Viana do Castelo, using the data obtained by the method of Communicating Vessels and GPS. It was found that both devices provide identical results and operation time. There were identified four different shore platforms above the actual (0,4/1,8 meters), at 2,8/3,4 - 4,5/5,5 - 6,6/7,4 and 8,5/9,2 meters. A tectono-eustatic o...

Geodiversity assessment of Paraná state (Brazil) : an innovative approach

Geodiversity is considered as the natural range of geological, geomorphological, and soil features, including their assemblages, relationships, properties, interpretations, and systems. A method developed for the quantitative assessment of geodiversity was applied to Parana ́ , a Brazilian state with an area of about 200,000 km2. The method is based on the overlay of a grid over different maps at scales ranging...

Estado actual da geoconservação em áreas protegidas de Portugal Continental

As Áreas Protegidas em Portugal Continental constituem, na sua maioria, unidades geomorfológicas bem individualizadas e com valor geológico que não e inteiramente valorizado. Algumas áreas dispõem de um inventário sistemático do património geológico e algumas outras dispõem de dados dispersos. Neste trabalho destacam-se alguns aspectos relevantes da geologia do Parque Nacional da Peneda-Geres, de alguns Parques...

The inventory of the Portuguese geological heritage : a good example of scienti...

The first systematic inventory of the Portuguese geological heritage is a clear example of the academic collaboration that characterizes the geoconservation in Portugal. Three hundred and twenty six geosites with inter- national or national relevance have been inventoried under the scope of the scientific research project “Identifica- tion, characterisation and conservation of geological heritage: a geoconserva...

Geoconservation education : the leading role of the University of Minho (Portugal)

In the University of Minho the first works concerning geoconservation were developed in 1996 in the Earth Sciences Department but it was only in 2005 that a major step was taken by this university with the creation of the master course on Geological Heritage and Geoconservation. Since that time, around 70 students were enrolled with an average of 10 new students each year. The University of Minho is also engage...

Finding the proper methodology for geodiversity assessment : a recent approach ...

A methodology for the quantitative assessment of geodiversity was defined and tested at various scales. It was applied to the Xingu River Basin, Amazon, Brazil (about 510,000 km2), Paraná state, Brazil (about 200,000 km2), and Portugal mainland (about 89,000 km2). This method is intended to assess all geodiversity components and to avoid overrating any particular component, such as lithology or relief, a common...

Quantitative evaluation of geodiversity : development of methodological procedu...

Although geodiversity is considered the setting for biodiversity, there is still a huge gap in the social recognition of these two concepts. The concept of geodiversity, less developed, is now making its own way as a robust and fundamental idea concerning the abiotic component of nature. From a conservationist point of view, the lack of a broader knowledge concerning the type and spatial variation of geodiversi...
