A convex geometry is a closure space satisfying the anti-exchange axiom. For
several types of algebraic convex geometries we describe when the collection of
closed sets is order scattered, in terms of obstructions to the semilattice of
compact elements. In particular, a semilattice Ω(η), that does not
appear among minimal obstructions to order-scattered algebraic modular
lattices, plays a prominent role in convex geometries case. The connection to
topological scatteredness is established in convex geometries of relatively
convex sets.Comment: 25 pages, 1 figure, submitte
