  • Radiography in the Earth Sciences and Soil Mechanics

    by E. L. Krinitzsky ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    Radiography, the use of penetrating radiation to produce shadow images of the internal structure of materials, has been with us since Roentgen made his discovery of x rays in 1895. However, applications of radiography in the earth sciences and in the related field of soils engineering have, until recent ly, been slow to develop. Bruhl reported optimistically on applications in paleontology as ... Read more

  • Four Revolutions in the Earth Sciences

    From Heresy to Truth

    by James Powell ...
    Over the course of the twentieth century, scientists came to accept four counterintuitive yet fundamental facts about the Earth: deep time, continental drift, meteorite impact, and global warming. When first suggested, each proposition violated scientific orthodoxy and was quickly denounced as scientific—and sometimes religious—heresy. Nevertheless, after decades of rejection, scientists came to ... Read more
