Purpose

The main objective of the IELIG is to identify an infrastructure of knowledge of the Spanish geological heritage that can identify and provide precise and updated information on areas or enclaves of interest belonging to the most representative geological units of Spain and the Spanish geological contexts of world relevance. To gather the places of interest, due to their unique and/or representative character, for the study and interpretation of the origin and evolution of the great Spanish geological domains, including the processes that have modelled them, the climates of the past and their paleobiological evolution.

Statement

This database of the Spanish Inventory of Places of Geological Interest (IELIG) that, in accordance with Law 42/2007, should be prepared and updated by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Environment, with the collaboration of the Autonomous Communities and the scientific institutions. Royal Decree 1274/2011, instructs IGME to finalize this inventory.

Description

The main sources of information were: the IGME Inventory of Points of Geological Interest and the various inventories existing in the autonomous communities. In addition, since the 80's of the XX century, local administrations, individual members of scientific societies and universities have given rise to various inventories of varying scope, as well as the inventory or cartographic projects of the IGME, the international project Global Geosites or regional inventory projects.
