... Climate Catastrophes 8 May 1998 From Andrew Yee <ayee@nova.astro.utoronto.ca> University of Florida Sources: Stanley Dermott, (352) 392-2052; Stephen Kortenkamp, (202) 686-4370 ext. 4440 Writer: Kristen Vecellio, vecellio@ufl.edu May 7, 1998 INTERPLANETARY DUST MAY CAUSE CLIMATE CHANGE, GRADUAL EXTINCTION GAINESVILLE- Space dust in the earth's atmosphere and changes in the planet's orbit may have started the gradual extinction of dinosaurs and other life thousands of years before a massive asteroid collision dealt the final blow, according to research from the University of Florida and the Carnegie Institution of Washington. The dust build-up, which rises and falls on about ...
112. In Alaska. Ch.1 In the North (Earth In Upheaval) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Earth in Upheaval]
... , often several miles in length and sometimes as much as 140 feet in depth, are now being sluiced out along stream valleys tributary to the Tanana in the Fairbanks District. In order to reach gold-bearing gravel beds an over-burden of frozen silt or muck' is removed with hydraulic giants. This muck' contains enormous numbers of frozen bones of extinct animals such as the mammoth, mastodon, super-bison and horse."2 These animals perished in rather recent times; present estimates place their extinction at the end of the Ice Age or in early post-glacial times. The soil of Alaska covered their bodies together with those of animals of species still surviving. Under what conditions did this great ...
113. Poleshifts, Catastrophes, And Myths [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... not only to poleshifts, but also to sudden plate tectonic motions. The concept that Velikovsky posed in 1950, that the solution for the cause of the Ice Age is of an extraterrestrial catastrophic nature, is just the direction that the scientific community is belatedly groping toward. The various disciplines have arrived at a watershed with respect to the Pleistocene extinction, and scientists involved in this research are beginning to wonder if some global or near global catastrophe has occurred. For example, Haynes wonders: "The question... [of the Pleistocene extinction] is this: Were they killed off or did they die off? It is tempting to explain mass extinctions by finding unique and ...
114. ASTROBLEMES AND GASTROBLEMES [Journals] [Aeon]
... reasoned that a meteorite must have brought it in and the ensuing volcano after impact must have propelled it into the upper atmosphere, whence it "salted" the entire globe. The theory was received enthusiastically and has been much tested in the eight following years. Alvarez' concept was based on several premises: 1) that a massive species extinction event occurred suddenly at the K/T boundary; 2) that there was a single high iridium anomaly in the boundary clay; and 3) that the quantity of iridium implied was too great to have come from any known Earth surface source such as a large volcano. As promising as the idea seemed, it has failed because ...
115. Showers of Glass [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Estimates for the formation of the australite field based on 14C dating range from 16,000 to as recently as 5000 years before the present. Some advances seem to be happening in the study of tektites - the small, glassy, meteoritic allies of catastrophism which are often found in the same geological horizons as evidence for geomagnetic reversals, faunal extinctions, volcanic maxima and sea-level changes. An excellent summary of the recent trends was presented by Peter J. Smith in "The origin of tektites - settled at last?" Nature vol. 300, 18 Nov. 1982. Smith, editor of Open Earth, writes in a clear and concise way on a controversial and difficult subject ...
116. Arctic Muck [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... From: The Velikovskian Vol 4 No 1 (1998) Home | Issue Contents Arctic Muck Charles Ginenthal The muck deposits of Alaska and Siberia are made up of gravel, soil, clay, tiny particles of many minerals, and organic matter made up of grasses, mosses, trees and vast numbers of extinct and extant animal bones.120 It appears quite clearly to be a flood sediment because it lies directly over gravel beds. That is, the heaviest materials tend to lie at the bottom of the muck beds and the lighter ones tend to lie above it. Henry Howorth long ago understood that the nature of this ring of material encircling the Arctic Ocean was indicative of ...
117. On Velikovsky And Darwin [Journals] [Kronos]
... From: Kronos Vol. VII No. 4 (Summer 1982) "Evolution, Extinction, and Catastrophism" Home | Issue Contents On Velikovsky And Darwin Lynn E. Rose The so-called "Darwinian Revolution" stands in sharp contrast to, and was of an entirely different character from, the Brunian Revolution of the sixteenth century. It is well known how Darwin sailed with the Beagle and patiently collected facts from the Galapagos Islands and elsewhere around the world. Many people take it for granted that these actual observations are the basis for his theory of gradual evolution by natural selection. Darwin did make many observations, but his theory was chosen in defiance of observational data, not ...
118. "Nemesis" -- A New Idea as Old as the Bible? [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... From: Catastrophism and Ancient History VII:1 (Feb 1985) Home | Issue Contents "Nemesis"- A New Idea as Old as the Bible?Zecharia Sitchin The field of catastrophism has been exposed, since early 1984, to the grandest theories of all: the suggestion that periodic global extinctions could be triggered by a distant celestial object that disrupts the Solar System once every 26 million years or so. Though the beginnings of the idea can be found in other and earlier publications, the unprecedented impetus to the scholarly debate- still raging- was a series of studies in the British scientific weekly, Nature, and especially its Vol. 308 (issue of April ...

... to Guterbock. Radiation Death for Dinosaurs sources: SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE 1.7 .83 INTERNATIONAL HERALD TRIBUNE 3.7 .83 NEW SCIENTIST 14.7 .83, p. 99 Aristes Yayanos's theory to account for the terminal Cretaceous disaster received wide publicity. Yayanos's paper in NATURE 390, p. 797, proposed that the mass extinctions - particularly affecting the larger land animals - were caused by the effects of thermal neutrons on interaction with sea water and living organisms by the production of short-lived and noxious radioactive isotopes. The neutrons would have come from an increase in cosmic rays entering Earth's atmosphere: the increased influx of cosmic rays could have derived from one of three possible ...

... age exploration. Overviews on the electrical nature of comets, the "electrical sun", the flow of electricity though and between galaxies, and the electrical underpinnings of gravity make this CD a terrific contribution to a potential new science of the third millennium. The CD production is a co-venture between Thornhill and film producer Robert Dunlap.- MASS EXTINCTIONS: The CD $44.00 Paleontologist and film producer Robert Dunlap has done an excellent job of translating his film material to CD, with attractive visuals and numerous video clips of interviews with prominent scientists. Dunlap, whose earlier work included one of the first documentaries shown on the Discovery Channel, has produced an authoritative summary of five ...
