地质学家有幸在地球上一些最引人注目、最美丽和最偏远的地区工作。作为专业人士，我们必须关心重要的露头，这样他们才能在未来继续启发和教育地球科学家。岩石档案的有价值的信息，以及对这些露头的访问，可能会被几个轻率的行动摧毁。每年，无数个人和实地考察小组都会参观可进入的模范地质遗址。未经授权的访问造成的后果，以及岩锤、油漆节号、钻孔和其他证据表明这些经典遗址的访问量不断增加，都会产生严重的后果。为了保护学生和研究人员的持续使用，我们作为一个地质界，必须采取负责任的行动，在需要的地方获得适当的许可，保存和保护经典的地方，并尊重土地使用规则。在下文中，我们讨论了几个我们研究了多年的经典露头的保存和可获得性的例子，认识到类似的问题在全球都很普遍。经典地质露头：保存与未来可获得性
Geologists are privileged to work in some of the most remarkable, beautiful, and remote areas on the Earth. As professionals, we must care for important outcrops so they can continue to enlighten and educate earth scientists well into the future. Rock archives of valuable information, and access to these outcrops, can be destroyed by a few thoughtless actions. Accessible, exemplary geologic sites are visited by numerous individuals and fieldtrip groups each year. The consequences of unauthorized access, and the impact of rock hammers, painted section numbers, drill plug holes, and other evidence of increasing visits to these classic sites has serious consequences. In order to protect continued access for students and researchers, we, as a geologic community, must act responsibly by getting proper permits where required, conserving and protecting classic localities, and respecting land-use rules. In the following, we discuss a few examples of the preservation and accessibility of classic outcrops we have studied for years, recognizing that similar issues are prevalent globally.
