Abstract:

The Geosites Project, initiated by the IUGS Global Geosites Working Group and supported by UNESCO, aims to produce a global inventory of the Earth's geological heritage. This global inventory requires a systematic methodology, based on the selection of geological frameworks of international significance in each country. These frameworks are topic events, temporal or regional geotectonic elements, etc. The second step of this methodology is the selection of the most valuable and representative sites of these geological frameworks (geosites). Fortunately, the geological diversity of Spain provides a great number of frameworks of global significance. In addition, the high quality of the outcrops (for topographic and climatic reasons) will allow for the selection of illustrative geosites. This paper presents a list of Spanish geological frameworks drawn up by consensus. It was prepared in accordance with the Geosites Project methodology, without taking into account the National Inventory of Geosites, which is in progress and covers 40% of Spanish territory. The IGME (Geological Survey of Spain) drew up a preliminary list, which was sent to all the university departments of geology, mining schools and research centres, for analysis, discussion and improvement. The result of this request was the selection of 20 frameworks, forming the first Spanish contribution to the Geosites Project.
