British Tertiary Volcanic Province
Author: C.H. Emeleus
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 9789401115131
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 259
Book Description
When setting out to produce the Geological Conservation Review series the then Nature Conservancy Council rightly selected the British Tertiary Volcanic Province as one of its front-running topics. By any standards the Province is one of the outstanding features of British geology. It has contributed to the development of geological ideas, applied world-wide, over about 200 years, and holds a continuing position as a focus for international research. A prime earth science concern of any conservation agency must be to preserve the evidence on which scientific advances have been based, and to ensure that future generations have an opportunity to study the problems that remain. Of course, geological features are generally speaking pretty robust. Casual and thoughtless destruction on a grand scale, to which biological assemblages are so vulnerable, is not generally a serious problem. But geological knowledge depends on seeing the relationships between rock masses, the critical areas of outcrop may be few and far between, both in Highland Scotland with its peat moors and forests and in the agricultural lands to the south. It is documentation of these sites showing critical inter-relationships that is the business of the Geological Conservation Review series. This volume provides the NCC's successor body, Scottish Natural Heritage, with the scientific justification to safeguard the described sites, which are the highlights of the Province.
