Abstract
This article explains the epistemic function of images in geological research and in the preservation of geodiversity in hyper urbanized regions in Mexico. Various modes of visual representation of mountain landscapes, such as artistic and amateur photography, including tourist campaigns on billboards, serve as catalysts for collective consciousness and environmental education; those are the bases for the preservation of geodiversity. This transdisciplinary research is inscribed in the “geological turn” and revives the conceptual heritage of Alexander von Humboldt, relating scientific research and aesthetic analysis of mountain landscapes, generating knowledge of orientation in the debates on the Anthropocene.
