    Análisis de metodologías estadísticas y morfométricas para la estimación y valoración de la geodiversidad en la cuenca del río Samacá (Boyacá), en contexto de ambientes sedimentarios-estructurales con enfoque en la gestión del patrimonio geológico

    The geodiversity in Colombia is an invaluable tool for analyzing diversity patterns, especially when a unified definition is available. This study aims to highlight the importance of geodiversity by applying statistical (Valentín, 2021) and morphometric (Ramírez, 2022) approaches. This opens an educational and/or touristic perspective for several types of audiences to understand the landscape that surrounds them. Geodiversity maps and inventories of Geosites of interest (LIGs) categorized for scientific, touristic, and didactic purposes help local communities in understanding and supplying guidance to visitors, thereby creating economic development opportunities through lodging, transportation, and trained personnel. The method used, which combines a statistical approach including morphometric diversity in the Samacá River basin, allows validation of the technique in complex structurally sedimentary environments (typical in the Colombian Eastern Cordillera) and sheds light on areas of special interest in the future for geoeducation and geotourism in the Samacá River basin. The results obtained revealed spatial variability of geodiversity controlled by the structural geology and the river network in the study area.
