A database of Tasmanian geological, geomorphological (landform), and pedological (soil) sites, features, areas and systems considered to be of significant conservation, scientific or heritage value. Site values are classified according to formative process into 81 types, which are further subdivided by geological age. Multiple values may be attributed to a site. Values are assigned significance on a five level scale ranging from local to global. Significance is determined by an expert panel, the Tasmanian Geoconservation Database Reference Group, which assesses site nominations on behalf of DPIPWE. Site entries contain a text description, statement of significance, an indication of susceptibility to potential threats, management notes and references amongst other details. Spatial data defining site extent is associated and images are progressively being added. The LIST presents a highly abridged version of the full Natural Values Atlas dataset. The LIST version is updated weekly.
