Geodiversity assessment of the Xingu drainage basin
Silva, Juliana; Pereira, D. I.; Aguiar, Alexandre; Rodrigues, CleideArtigo com mapa em anexo ; Geodiversity is a recent concept that refers to the abiotic variety of nature. It is defined as the range of geological (rocks, minerals, fossils), geomorphological (landforms, processes) and soil features, including their assemblages, relationships, properties, interpretation and systems. In this work, a method of quantitative assessment of geodiversity was applied to the Xingu drai...
Geodiversity assessment of Paraná state (Brazil) : an innovative approach
Pereira, D. I.; Pereira, Paulo; Brilha, J. B.; Santos, LeonardoGeodiversity 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
Pereira, D. I.; Pereira, Paulo; Brilha, J. B.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...
Pereira, Paulo; Brilha, J. B.; Pereira, D. I.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)
Brilha, J. B.; Pereira, D. I.; Pereira, PauloIn 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 ...
Pereira, D. I.; Santos, L.; Silva, Juliana; Pereira, Paulo; Brilha, J. B.; França, J.; Rodrigues, CleideA 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...
Forte, João; Brilha, J. B.; Pereira, D. I.; Nolasco, MarjorieAlthough 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...
Geoconservation education, research and outreach : the experience of the Univer...
Brilha, J. B.; Pereira, D. I.; Pereira, PauloGeoconservation is an emerging geoscience. In order to gain recognition among the scientific community and in society in general, education lato sensu is of paramount importance. This work presents the experience of the University of Minho with geoconservation education during the past 10 years, namely with graduation and postgraduation courses, teachers training, research, and outreach. Working in those differ...
Mapping regional geodiversity in Brazil and Portugal
Pereira, D. I.; Santos, Leonardo; Silva, Juliana; Pereira, Paulo; Brilha, J. B.; Silva, Julio; Rodrigues, CleideA methodology meant to be used in the quantitative assessment and mapping of geodiversity was defined for regional scale, following the initial proposal of Pereira et al. (2012). The method was tested in the Xingu Basin, Amazon, Brazil (about 510,000 km2), Paraná State, Brazil (about 200,000 km2), and Portugal mainland (about 89,000 km2). It is a GIS method intended to assess all features of geodiversity and to...
Quantitative assessment of geosites with national and international relevance i...
Pereira, P.; Brilha, J. B.; Pereira, D. I.During the last years geoscientists of various institutions have developed a project aiming the establishment of a geoconservation strategy in Portugal. One of the main goals of this project was the inventory of the most important Portuguese the definition of the frameworks representing the most important geological features in Portugal and considering all geodiversity. With the participation of more than seven...
