The Geological Conservation Review (GCR) is produced by the UK's Joint Nature Conservation Committee and is designed to identify those sites of national and international importance needed to show all the key scientific elements of the geological and geomorphological features of Britain. These sites display sediments, rocks, minerals, fossils, and features of the landscape that make a special contribution to an understanding and appreciation of Earth science and the geological history of Britain, which stretches back more than three billion years. The intention of the project, which was devised in 1974 by George Black and William Wimbledon working for the Governmental advisory agency, the Nature Conservancy Council (NCC), was activated in 1977. It aimed to provide the scientific rationale

| - Die Geological Conservation Review (GCR) wird vom (JNCC) zusammengestellt und dient dazu die Orte zu finden, die im nationalen oder internationalen Interesse alle wichtigen geologischen und geomorphologischen Eigenschaften des Vereinigten Königreichs besitzen. Diese Orte zeigen Sedimente, Gestein, Mineralien, Fossilien und Landschaftsformen, die in besonderer Weise dem Verständnis der Geologie Großbritanniens dienen. Die Ausrichtung des Projekts wurde 1974 von George Black und William Wimbledon vom (NCC) formuliert. 1977 nahm das Projekt seine Arbeit auf. Seine Aufgabe ist es den wissenschaftlichen Hintergrund für den Erhalt der Orte zu liefern, die als geologische Site of Special Scientific Interest nach dem geschützt werden. Durch den wurde das JNCC gegründet, das die Verantwortung für die Beurteilungen durch die GCR und die Veröffentlichung der Zusammenstellungen der aufgenommenen Orte übernahm. Bis zum Jahr 2000 wurden über 3000 Orte identifiziert, die den Kriterien der GCR entsprechen. Teile der Veröffentlichungen der Ergebnisse wurden durch kommerzielle Verleger, vor allem Chapman & Hall, vorgenommen. Die Bände 15 bis Band 36 wurden vom JNCC herausgegeben. Die Bände Nummer 37 bis Band 45 als Abschluss der Reihe werden als Proceedings of the Geologists' Association – Special Issues herausgegeben. (de)
- The Geological Conservation Review (GCR) is produced by the UK's Joint Nature Conservation Committee and is designed to identify those sites of national and international importance needed to show all the key scientific elements of the geological and geomorphological features of Britain. These sites display sediments, rocks, minerals, fossils, and features of the landscape that make a special contribution to an understanding and appreciation of Earth science and the geological history of Britain, which stretches back more than three billion years. The intention of the project, which was devised in 1974 by George Black and William Wimbledon working for the Governmental advisory agency, the Nature Conservancy Council (NCC), was activated in 1977. It aimed to provide the scientific rationale and information base for the conservation of geological SSSIs (Sites of Special Scientific Interest, protected under British law (latterly the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, as amended 1995). The NCC and country conservation agencies were established in 1990 when JNCC became established (Environmental Protection Act 1990) and took over responsibility for managing the GCR site assessment process, and publishing accounts of accepted sites. By 2000, over 3000 localities had been identified as qualifying for GCR standard (SSSI standard). NCC and later JNCC, have published detailed site descriptions of the GCR localities. For part of the GCR Series of books, commercial publishers were involved, principally Chapman & Hall. To date 36 of the planned 45 volumes have been published, with volumes 15 to 36 being published by JNCC directly, and available for sale through the Natural History Book Service, Totnes. (en)
