Abstract
Las Islas Canarias albergan uno de los 21 contextos geológicos españoles de relevancia internacional, llamado “Edificios y morfologías
volcánicas de las Islas Canarias” y cuentan con catorce lugares de interés
geológico de la misma relevancia, que forman parte del Inventario Español de Lugares de Interés Geológico (IELIG). Existen también varios
inventarios de patrimonio geológico a escala insular y municipal realizados con diversas metodologías. Sin embargo, no existe un inventario de
patrimonio geológico sistemático que se haya acometido para todo el
archipiélago canario. En este trabajo se presenta una propuesta para
denominar una serie de contextos geológicos regionales dentro del contexto de relevancia internacional ya definido, como paso previo a la
realización del inventario de lugares de interés geológico de esta Comunidad Autónoma. Así, se han establecido en una primera fase doce
contextos geológicos regionales que son representativos del dominio
geológico del archipiélago y que permitirán seleccionar sus lugares de
interés geológico más representativos e ilustrativos. Estos contextos
regionales pueden ser comunes para otras islas volcánicas oceánicas,
especialmente aquellas dentro de la Macaronesia
The Canary Islands house one of the 21 Spanish geological frameworks of international relevance, called “Volcanic edifices and morphologies of the Canary Islands” and have fourteen geosites, which are part of the Spanish Inventory of Places of Geological Interest (IELIG). There are several inventories of geological heritage on an insular- and municipal-scale made with different methodologies too. However, there is no a systematic geological heritage inventory that has been undertaken for the entire Canary archipelago. In this work a proposal is presented to denominate a number of regional geological frameworks within the geological framework of international relevance already defined as a previous step to the realization of the geoheritage inventory of this Spanish Autonomous Community. Thus, twelve regional geological frameworks have been established in a first phase, which are representative of the geological domain of the archipelago and will allow the selection of their most representative and illustrative regional geosites. These regional frameworks may be common for other volcanic oceanic islands, especially those of the Macaronesia
