Abstract

This paper provides an overview of the main researches carried out on geodiversity and related themes in Brazil in journals CAPES classification A1, A2, B1, and B2. Based on the survey carried out between 2010 and 2016, there was an increase, albeit small in concerning the number of publishers works, since for the 2010-2012 three-year period 29 publications were identified and, for the quadrennium of 2013-2016 this number totaled 35 articles. For the 2010-2012 triennium, the region of the country that displayed primacy over publications related to geodiversity and other related concepts, was the Southeast Region of the country, followed by the Northeast and South regions. For the 2013-2016 quadrennium, there was a concentration of surveys in the Northeast, followed by the Southeast and South. The surveys address the relationship between geodiversity and geotourism, discussing the importance of recognizing geodiversity and using sustainable bases for geotourism in the different regions of the country.
