Abstract

The scientific knowledge of geological sites is a model to recognize the scores of stablish geoconservation and education/touristic proposes sites in geoparks territories. The alkaline massif of Poços de Caldas is a structure of igneous alkaline origin (with volcanic and hypabissal deposits), formed, roughly, by breccias and tufts, effusive and hypabissal rocks and plutonic rocks. The purpose of this article is to recognize the international scientific relevance of geological sites in the Alkaline Massif of Poços de Caldas (Minas Gerais State) as a requirement to be a UNESCO Global Geopark. Poços de Caldas is located in the Southern region of Brazil and were know in the literature as the second biggest alkaline massif in the globe. We did a scientific database review in Scopus and manual review to recognize a science base for the issue of International publications of Poços de Caldas. The publication of bibliographic stuffs mentioned in the text formed a database for knowledge of international sites and its relevance. The themes of volcanism, hydrogeology, geomorphology, rare minerals and samples are contextualizing the geossites arranged in the article. The significance of largest igneous alkaline massif in the globe, rare minerals founded in Poços de Caldas, the uranium thematic in Brazil, the International Earth Science Olympiad and the hydrogeology are the main international relevant geossits in the region studied.
