Contribuição dos geoindicadores como ferramenta na identificação dos processos erosivos associados a Antropogeomorfologia.

Changes in anthropogenic sources identified in the processes of urban expansion, suppression of vegetation, soil sealing, changes in the drainage cycle and their influence on the diversity of environmental systems are characterized as aspects that can generate negative environmental impacts. From this theme, it is necessary to develop techniques that make possible the comprehension of the temporal extension of these modifications. Since then, the proposal for the use of more specific geoindicators has been widely considered within the scientific community as a method to aid in the recognition of the probable changes identified in the landscape, space and temporal scales that can contribute to the identification of probable environmental impacts and/or in the planning of mitigating actions. Thus, the present article aimed to understand the role of geoindicators in the identification of probable changes originating from anthropogenic actions in urbanized environments. In addition, it proposes to present and discuss the different proposals of geoindicators that can be used in the identification of hydrogeomorphological modifications diagnosed in urban areas.
