Structural Geology Research with Dr. Randy Merrett Dr. Randy Merrett is an Associate Professor in the Department of Geological Sciences at the University of Texas. Dr. Marrett's research concentrates on deformation processes in the upper continental crust where folds, faults, and opening-mode fractures are the most important products. This work is applicable to a wide range of human concerns such as natural hazards (eg, earthquakes, volcanoes) and the flow of fluids through rock (eg, hydrocarbons, water, contaminants). Some common themes that relate his disparate interests are quantitative field observations and ***ysis, especially using techniques that address spatial and size scaling of structures. Dr. Marrett currently has on-going projects that address active faulting and geyser eruption patterns in the Central Andes of Argentina and Chile, detachment folding and curved orogenic belt development in the Sierra Madre Oriental of Mexico, and opening-mode fracturing in numerous areas.

Geological Research with Dr. Leon Long Dr. Leon Long is a professor in the Department of Geological Sciences at the University of Texas. Dr. Long's research is in isotope geology, especially to use naturally occurring radioactivity and its daughter products as a geologic clock (eg, to date the crystallization of a magma), and as a geochemical tracer (eg, to characterize the source rock whose melting produced the magma). Dr. Long is interested in applying the Rb-Sr isotopic age method to clay minerals, one possibility being to date when weathering had produced an ancient soil zone.

586 Million year Geological Cycle and Galactic Supercluster Walls Geologists have reported a cycle of about 600 million years, and Prof Afanasiev of Moscow has determined the period of this cycle as 586.24 million years. I was pleased to meet Prof Afanasiev when I visited Russia in the mid 1990s and I gave the keynote speech at a cycles conference where he was the chair of the geological committee. With improvements in the measurement of the Hubble constant, the spacing of megawalls of galactic clusters can now be found to be about 588 million light years. Here is evidence that there are huge wave structures in space that explain both the spacing of galactic clusters and the period of geological cycles. By seeing this connection it is possible to determine the Hubble constant far more accurately. I made this video in February 2008 but it is not on YouTube now so loading in May 2009.

Geologic "Eras", animated "Eras" is a fast-paced, hand-drawn, animated timeline of the four most prominent geologic eras of Earth's history -- Precambrian, Paleozoic, Mesozoic and Cenozoic. It was created by students 12 to 15 years of age, in the LineStorm Animation Digital FlipBook class at the Creative Arts at Park School summer program in Brookline, Massachusetts. Originating entirely on flipbooks, "Eras" visualizes the delightful Science Song of the same name, written by David Haines, from his oratorio, "LifeTime: Songs of Life and Evolution." The performance is by the North Cambridge Family Opera Company Chorus, at MIT's Kresge Auditorium during the Cambridge Science Festival, April 2006. The chorus was conducted by David Bass. Geologic "Eras", animated, was supervised by Pell Osborn and produced by MotionArt, Boston.

Geological Engineering Project The purpose of this presentation is to study the seismic behavior of the rock slopes and block structures during the 2006 Hawaii earthquakes. The geological engineering investigation of seismic damage after these earthquakes focuses on the relationships between the observed geology and the failure mechanisms. This relationship will be highlighted by discussing the observed rock failures with the involved parameters that have the greatest effect on stability during earthquakes. A brief overview of the seismic history of Hawaii and geology of the area will also be provided.

USGS Science: Walrus Haul-Out 2011 Female Pacific walruses and their calves traditionally spend summers far from shore, diving for benthic invertebrates over the shallow continental shelf waters of the Chukchi Sea. These female walruses and their calves prefer to rest between forage bouts on sea ice drifting above their feeding grounds. However, in recent years loss of summer sea ice over the continental shelf has forced many walruses to travel to the northwest coast of Alaska where they haul-out on shore to rest. This large herd of walruses hauled out near Pt. Lay Alaska in August of 2011.

Greatest Geology Discoveries 2/3 1. Earth's Core (1906) Seismologist Richard Oldham determines that earthquake waves move through the central part of the Earth much slower than through the mantle around it. He surmises that the Earth has a core composed of liquid. 2. Earth's Inner Core (1930s) Inge Lehmann documents that some seismic waves from deep inside the Earth's core do not pass through, but are reflected back. It becomes clear that the Earth has an inner core consisting of a small, solid iron sphere that is surrounded by a thick outer core composed of liquid iron. 3. Continental Drift (1911) Alfred Wegener proposes that all the continents in the world once formed a single, giant landmass that was eventually split apart in a process called "continental drift." Wegener's evidence consists of the "fit" of South America with Africa, fossil distribution and geological similarities. 4. Seafloor Spreading (1950s -- 1960s) Adding his own data on changes in seafloor depth and geology to discoveries of his peers, Harry Hess proposes that Wegener's theory of continental drift is a result of seafloor spreading. He hypothesizes that molten magma from beneath the Earth's crust is oozing up between the plates in the Great Global Rift (now referred to as the Mid-Ocean Ridge). As the hot magma cools, it expands and pushes the plates out from the rift, causing the Atlantic Ocean to get wider over time. 5. Plate Tectonics (1960s) The work of many scientists reveals that the Earth's surface is broken into several ...

Genesis and Geology The Channeled Scablands; Scientific Bias Against Catastrophism. "In the end, the truth of catastrophism did win, but it took more than 50 years to see the project through. And this was despite the fact that the event in question was relatively easy to document through field observations." EK Peters, No Stone Unturned: Reasoning About Rocks and Fossils, 1991, pp. 78 and 84. "Increase of knowledge about biology has tended to emphasize the extreme rigidity of type, and more and more to discount the idea of transmutation from one type to another--the essential basis of Darwinism." *McNair Wilson, "The Witness of Science, "Oxford Medical Publishlications (1942). "The theory [evolution] is a big mistake." *Louis Agassiz, quoted in H. Enoch, Evolution or Creation (1986), p. 139 [Aggassiz was a Harvard University professor] "To my mind, the theory does not stand up at all." *H. Lipson, "A Physicist Looks at Evolution", Physics Bulletin 31 (1980), p. 138. "From thealmost total absence of fossil evidence relative to the origin of the phyla, it follows that any explaination of the mechanism in the creative evolution of the fundamental structure plans is heavily burdened with hypothesis. This should appear as an epigraph to every book on evolution. The lack of direct evidence leads to the forulation of pure conjecture as to the genesis of the phylia; we do not even have a basis to determine the extent to which these opinions are correct." *PP Grasse, Evolution of ...
