Geoconservation as an Emerging Geoscience

Abstract: The main purpose of geoconservation is the conservation of geosites as basic units of the geological heritage through the implementation of specific inventory, evaluation, conservation, valuation and monitoring procedures. In this paper, geoconservation is characterised as an emergent geoscience within the Earth and Space Sciences where its scope and methods, as well as production and validation of knowledge can be recognised-thus defining Basic Geoconservation-, interrelations with other earth sciences can be… Show more

“…How to select, among many possibilities, the most representative sites in terms of the geological history of a certain area? The way to solve this issue is to promote geosites selection by means of inventory (Brilha 2016, Henriques et al 2011. Therefore, inventories must have welldefined objectives and methods and also evaluate geosites according to both specific scales and geological frameworks (Carcavilla et al 2009, Lima et al 2010, Wimbledon 1996.…”

“…In this context, geoconservation emerges as a new area within Earth Sciences in which the knowledge produced may be used to prevent, correct and minimize environmental impacts that cause risk for geoheritage, like inappropriate land use planning (Carcavilla 2012, Henriques et al 2011. As pointed out by Borba et al (2013), geoconservation aims the interaction between geoscientists with social issues such as environmental protection, sustainable development, education, and territorial planning.…”

“…Segundo Henriques et al (2011) um geossítio pode ser reconhecido através da aplicação do princípio da singularidade, o local torna-se geossítio devido a alguma propriedade específica que detém, reconhecida e apreciada por especialistas, e que é singular e portanto, relevante para o entendimento da história e dinâmica da Terra (HENRIQUES et al, 2011, p. 119, tradução nossa A identificação do patrimônio geológico requer uma metodologia para a definição de seus valores que implicam no reconhecimento de seus aspectos singulares e excepcionais.…”
