The Geoheritage Tool-kit is a method, or series of steps, that has been developed to enable a geoheritage practitioner to systematically identify and categorise areas, geosites, or geological features of geoheritage significance at all scales (from mountain to microscale), to allocate them to a conceptual category of geoheritage and scale of reference, and to assess their level of significance for science and education.
The Geoheritage Tool-kit can also be applied to existing geoheritage lists. In this case, site-based lists can be revised to include the various categories of geoheritage and updated to more accurately describe their levels of geoheritage significance.
