The Danakil Depression, located in the northern segment of the Afar rift, is a world-class example of active rifting and the birth of a new ocean. The unique, yet only partially interpreted geothermal system of Dallol in northern Danakil is currently receiving renewed attention by researchers and visitors despite its extreme climate since the recent improvements of infrastructure and the stabilisation of Ethio-Eritrean political relations. Previous studies focused on the general geological description, the economic exploitation of potash reserves and interpretation of the complex hydrothermal processes. Continuing monitoring of geothermal activity has not yet been carried out, and the valorisation of local geoheritage has not accompanied the increased interest of tourists. Here, we present a three-step study in order to demonstrate the unique geological environment and international geoheritage significance of Dallol and Danakil. A three-year-long remote sensing campaign has been done to provide information on improving the resilience of visitors through interpreted, monthly hazard maps, and on following up the changes of geothermal activity. Over the same time, the first geoheritage assessment of the region for 13 geosites was carried out along with a comparative analysis of three quantitative methods (to evaluate the scientific importance and the geotouristic development potential of the area). Finally, with the input of the assessment, a preliminary geoheritage management plan was created for practical consideration by stakeholders toward a geoconservation and geotourism development, as well as a resilience system of this peculiar area.

位于阿法尔裂谷北部的达纳基尔山pression陷是活跃裂谷和新海洋诞生的世界级典范。由于近期基础设施的改善和埃塞俄比亚政治关系的稳定，尽管气候极端恶劣，但达纳吉尔北部达洛尔地区独特但仅有部分解释的地热系统目前正受到研究人员和游客的重新关注。以前的研究集中在一般的地质描述，钾盐储量的经济开采和复杂的热液过程的解释上。尚未继续进行地热活动的监测，并且当地地质遗产的价格上涨并没有伴随着游客的兴趣增加。这里，为了说明Dallol和Danakil的独特地质环境以及国际地质遗产的意义，我们分三步进行了研究。已经进行了为期三年的遥感运动，以通过解释性的，每月的灾害图提供有关改善游客弹性的信息，以及跟踪地热活动变化的信息。同时，对该地区的13个地理位置进行了首次地理遗产评估，并对三种定量方法进行了比较分析（以评估该地区的科学重要性和地理旅游开发潜力）。最后，在评估的输入下，制定了初步的地质遗产管理计划，供利益相关者对地质保护和地质旅游开发进行实际考虑，
