Geomorphological Landscapes and Geoconservation
2016The intrinsic value of geomorphological landscapes is considered in the context of aesthetics, culture, socio-economics, and ecology as well as geoscience. Geoconservation has become more urgent as geodiversity, biodiversity, and cultural diversity have declined.

Geoheritage, Geoconservation and Geotourism in Switzerland
2020Switzerland has a rich and diversified geoheritage. It marks the origin of nature protection in Switzerland, with the earliest protected erratic boulders dating back to 1838. At present, however, the significance of the geological richness and geodiversity of the country is largely unknown in public and political circles.

Marine geoconservation in the United Kingdom
Proceedings of the Geologists' Association, 2013Abstract Although the conservation of geological and geomorphological features is a well-established practice in the UK, the conservation of such features in the marine environment has been largely ignored until recently. The provisions made for conserving biodiversity in The Marine and Coastal Access Act 2009 and Marine (Scotland) Act 2010 provide ...

Geoconservation of Human Tracks
2014In the previous chapter we have seen how there is a wide diversity of human tracksites each with a different depositional history and mechanism of track preservation. The challenge for the geoarchaeologist is not only to document such sites but also to advise with respect to their long-term conservation. At many human tracksites this is challenging due

History of geoconservation in Europe
Geological Society, London, Special Publications, 2008Abstract Europe consists of many countries and legislative regimes. Some countries have a long history of geoconservation with well developed strategies and practices and others lack the most basic legislation for this kind of work. Some of the earliest geoconservation is found within Germany such as the conservation and visitor control from ...

Challenges for Geoconservation in Contemporary Japan
2017This chapter analyzes the challenges for geoconservation in Japan, based on the findings of a questionnaire survey. Geoconservation is defined as the action taken with the intent of conserving earth heritage, but it has proven difficult to implement this concept at the ground level due to perceived low priority of conservation and lack of funding.

About this title ‐ The History of Geoconservation
Geological Society, London, Special Publications, 2008This book is the first to describe the history of geoconservation. It draws on experience from the UK, Europe and further afield, to explore topics including: what is geoconservation; where, when and how did it start; who was responsible; and how has it differed across the world? Geological and geomorphological features, processes, sites and specimens,

Geoconservation of Quaternary sites and interests
Proceedings of the Geologists' Association, 2013Abstract Quaternary geosites tend to be ‘high-maintenance’, in terms of their conservation; in that the interest is generally in unconsolidated sediments in which exposures will survive for a relatively brief interval. Therefore the success of conservation measures is often dependent on the interest being sufficient to generate repeated visits for ...
