“…It should involve the lease possible intervention to ecological processes, evolutionary processes and earth processes". In Scandinavia, the Nordic Council of Ministers published an excellent book on geodiversity in Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark and Iceland (Johansson, 2000) with an English Summary (Nordic Fig. 1.…”

In 2015, the United Nations adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) aiming to achieve a better world for the entire human population. In spite of the fact that human development is dependent on nature and its resources, the non-living (abiotic) natural resources and processes are persistently neglected in international and national policies that foster sustainable development. This paper reviews the geodiversity concept and makes the links with well-established concepts and strategies, namely the ones related with natural capital and ecosystem services, to demonstrate that the UN SDG can only be achieved if the elements and processes of geodiversity are definitely considered in the global agenda.

“…There are several definitions for geodiversity (e.g., Sharples 1995;Eberhard 1997;Johansson 2000;Stanley 2001;Nieto 2001;Australian Heritage Commission 2002;Gray 2004;Kozlowski 2004;Serrano and Flaño 2007), in which geological, geomorphological, and soil features are considered the most important elements of it. However, there is no agreement on a definition that could be used in an international convention on geodiversity, as suggested by Crofts (2014).…”

Kernel Density Applied to the Quantitative Assessment of Geodiversity

The development of research involving the geodiversity concept has been growing in the last two decades. The quantification of spatial patterns of geodiversity seems to be one of the most promising lines of research related with natural diversity, since it explores the relations between abiotic elements. This last aspect can be crucial, not only for territorial management, but also for conservation initiatives associated with biodiversity. The main aim of this study was to develop a new GIS procedure, based on centroid analysis, to calculate a geodiversity index, using kernel density, and to test its application in two municipalities with different area surfaces and geological setting. The proposed method is an upgrade of those previously published based on a spatial grid system at a landscape scale. The results of this method show that it is possible to obtain a spatial geodiversity standard that reflects the spatial variation of natural abiotic elements on both territories and that lithology and geomorphology are the key drivers that control the geodiversity index. In addition, the testing procedures have demonstrated that this method can be applied to areas with any geological and geomorphological setting and at different scales and also to be a useful tool for land use planning.

“…The regulative principles of this type of study are concerned with individual differences in proximal variables which are commonly the subject of psychophysical measurement. Studies by Holzman [40], Postman and Bruner [yq], Smith [90], Johansson [43], and others seem to be yielding increasingly impressive indications that reliable variations among individuals are to be expected in parameters of proximal organization, and that higher-order regulatory principles determine in part the personal constants of individual differences seen at these levels. 4 A number of studies have attempted to define personality constants in cognitive terms; e.g., "cognitive attitudes" of leveling and sharpening, focusing, tolerance and intolerance for instability, broad and narrow equivalence-range tendencies, flexible-control and constricted control [40,85,23,49].…”

He was Senior Psychologist at the Perception Laboratory of the Menninger Foundation. A graduate of Columbia University in 1942 with the Ph.D., and a diplomate in clinical psychology, Dr. Klein is a national leader in the field of perception, and an authority on the function of perception in personality. He is author of many scientific journal articles, and coeditor of the book, Theoretical Models and Personality Theory. He has also contributed an important chapter to Blake and Ramsey's Perception: An Approach to Personality.Stating that the many concentrated man-hours of study which the issue of motivated perception has inspired were generated by clinicians, personality theorists and social psychologists, Dr. Klein gives a terse developmental history of the perception-motivation approach to personality. He points out that perceptual theories, which had been protected by a tradition of psychophysical methodology, were, to a great extent, first attacked by the work of Murphy, Goldstein and Allport. The attack was further inspired by psychoanalytic principles, by the clinical diagnostic work with tests by Rapaport and Schafer, and by the work of Bartlett and Sherif in the area of social psychology.Klein believes that there has been too much emphasis of relatively simple, perceptual problems at the expense of the more complex, cognitive processes. These latter, of course, involve not only the perceptual processes, but numerous motivational factors as well. From this point of view, Klein has reviewed and analyzed much of the salient work in the field of perception; he has organized and refined many of these concepts and has integrated them with his own thinking to provide an interesting and stimulating approach to understanding personality. I am greatly indebted to Dr. Robert R. Holt and Dr. David Rapaport for their many stimulating and invaluable comments on this paper.
