СОХРАНЕНИЕ И ИСПОЛЬЗОВАНИЕ ГЕОНАСЛЕДИЯ ПЕРМСКОЙ СИСТЕМЫ НА ОСОБО ОХРАНЯЕМЫХ ПРИРОДНЫХ ТЕРРИТОРИЯХ И В МУЗЕЙНЫХ КОЛЛЕКЦИЯХ

Abstract

The purpose of the research is to determine the level of conservation and management of signifi Permian System geoheritage objects in special protected natural areas and world museum collections as well as to rehabilitate and preserve Perm Region on the Permian museums and geoheritage map. Th geographical distribution of modern geotoponyms of the Permian geological System, identifi in 1841 in Russia and named aft the city of Perm, was made in relation to the stratigraphic (geochronological) scale subdivisions at the place of discovery by the level of system, series, stage (period, epoch, age respectively), including Global Boundary Stratotype Sections and Points (GSSP). Geographical distribution of the geoheritage sites allows highlighting their primary and secondary localization for the Permian Period. Signifi objects of the Permian heritage were analyzed in conjunction with its representation of the place of its discovery based on the protected areas and signifi museum collections network. Ex situ conservation of the Permian spatial collections' localization is caused by two main factor: territorial linkage to the localities (primary type research and acquisition), and acquisition of the most signifi collections by museums, universities and research institutes (secondary type of research and acquisition). Th analysis of signifi Permian geoheritage sites in the world spatial distribution allows us to identify nine main clusters. Key clusters of the Permian refer to CisUral region, South of the USA, and WestEastern China (with the GSSP for the Lower, Middle, and Upper Perm respectively). Signifi in situ sites let develop geotourism activities. Proposals for the Permian geoheritage system optimization in the Perm Region are formulated in conjunction with the network of protected areas, university research and key museum collections.
