... From: Catastrophist Geology Year 1 No. 2 (Dec 1976) Home | Issue Contents The Martian Deluge Johan B. Kloosterman Rio de Janeiro Remote Sensing When we scan an object not directly but through an intermediary image which informs us of some properties of that object, we speak of Remote Sensing. Not very correctly so, for three out of our five sense organs- the eye, ear and nose- function at a distance from the sensed object so that, in fact, we are continuously involved in remote sensing during our waking hours. Many aspects of the world around us may be appreciated better when viewed from a distance, while others, such as the ...
612. Flow Slips, Ocean Bottom Currents and Subaqueous Dunes [Journals] [Catastrophist Geology]
... From: Catastrophist Geology Year 2 No. 1 (June 1977) Home | Issue Contents Flow Slips, Ocean Bottom Currents and Subaqueous Dunes Gerrit van der Lingen Sedimentation Laboratory, N.Z . Geological Survey University of Canterbury Christchurch, New Zealand With much interest I read in your December 1976 issue the paper by Tazieff on horizontal landslides during the 1960 Chile earthquake. I would like to make some comments regarding three items mentioned in his paper. I. Horizontal displacements of material over considerable distances during earthquakes are not uncommon and have been reported in other publications. For instance Marshall (1933), who is well remembered for his Marshall Line' or Andesite Line', ...
613. Changes in the Rotation Axis of Earth After Asteroid/cometary Impacts and Their Geological Effects [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... From: SIS Internet Digest 2002:1 (Sep 2002) Home | Issue Contents Changes in the Rotation Axis of Earth After Asteroid/cometary Impacts and Their Geological Effects Ing. Ammiraglio Flavio Barbiero Accademia Navale, Livorno The geological history of Earth is characterised by long periods of absolute stability, interrupted by short violent crisis, during which there are volcanic eruptions, orogenesis, climatic changes, inversions of the magnetic field, sea level variations and very often a radical change in the ecological equilibrium, with mass extinction and the emergence of new species. For some of these crises it was possible to prove that their beginning coincides with the impact of an asteroid; therefore a connection ...
614. Catastrophism and Evolution [Articles]
... SIS Meeting 29th October 1983 (afternoon session) Catastrophism and Evolution Trevor Palmer Although it remains probable that natural selection is a major evolutionary mechanism, it no longer seems likely that evolution proceeds in an even-paced manner. Species tend to appear rapidly, by geological standards, and may eventually disappear again equally abruptly, showing few morphological changes in between. On occasions, mass extinctions of species have taken place, to be followed by the rapid appearances of new species to fill vacant ecological niches. Astronomical evidence suggests that at least some mass extinctions are likely to have resulted from the impacts of comets or asteroids upon the Earth, while geological and palaeontological evidence is consistent with the extinctions ...

616. Fissures In The Rocks. Ch.5 Tidal Wave (Earth In Upheaval) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Earth in Upheaval]
... From "Earth in Upheaval" © 1955 by Immanuel Velikovsky | FULL TEXT NOT AVAILABLE Contents Fissures In The Rocks JOSEPH PRESTWICH, professor of geology at Oxford (1874-88) and acknowledged authority on the Quaternary (Glacial and Recent) Age in England, was struck by numerous phenomena, all of which led him to the belief that "the south of England had been submerged to the depth of not less than about 1 000 feet between the Glacial or Post-Glacial-and the recent or Neolithic [Late Stone] periods."1 In a spasmodic movement of the terrain, the coast and the land masses of southern England were submerged to such a depth that points 1 000 feet high ...
617. Impact Geology (Review)ed [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... From: Catastrophism and Ancient History VIII:2 (July 1986) Home | Issue Contents ALLAN O. KELLY Impact Geology (Review)Reviewed by Harold E. Lippman In 1953- long before the Alvarez impact theory saw light of day- Allan O. Kelly and Frank Dachille in Target Earth promoted the concept that asteroidal impacts played a role in earth's geogenesis. Kelly's new book, Impact Geology (Encinitas, California: A.O . Kelly, 1985, 228 pp.), oversize and amply illustrated, gives every sign of being a labor of love- a love broad enough to include Cartesian mechanism, uniformitarianism, and multi-billion year chronology. And Kelly would ...
618. Mona Lisa And The Antarctic. File III (Stargazers and Gravediggers) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Stargazers]
... From "Stargazers and Gravediggers" © 1983 by Immanuel Velikovsky | FULL TEXT NOT AVAILABLE Contents Mona Lisa And The Antarctic ONE AFTERNOON, several months after we had moved to Princeton in 1952, while working in the library of Guyot Hall (Geology Department of the university), I was approached by a friendly gentleman, a professor of the department, who asked me if my name was Velikovsky. I confirmed that it was. The gentleman was Glenn L. Jepsen: he had heard me speaking at the American Philosophical Society. The members of the faculty must have wondered at my invasion of their library. When the manuscript of Earth in Upheaval was complete, I asked ...
619. Focus [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... subjected to a succession of minor seismic disturbances over the past few years. The Alvarez theory of asteroid impact to explain the Cretaceous/Tertiary boundary extinction (see SISW 3:4 , pp.l6-17) was succeeded by grander ideas of cometary encounters (see SISW 5:1 , pp.30-31). Then in May 1983 the geological meeting at the Dahlem conference showed a strong bias towards extraterrestrially caused catastrophism (see SISW 5:4 , pp.26-27). At this conference Raup mentioned work, later published in collaboration with Sepkoski,(2 ) which appears to have set off a major intellectual earthquake. Raup and Sepkoski correlated the dates of known extinctions of ...
620. Victory of The Sun [Books] [de Grazia books]
... them. What we say may have happened, is not at all a miracle if it did happen. And whether it happened is to be judged by evidence- miracle or no miracle. Cosmogony changes. Unfamiliar models become intelligible. It is anachronistic for a scientist to deny the ancient occurrence of cosmic catastrophes and biological revolutions, to accept geological and radiological chronometry as unquestionably valid, to believe that the succession of historical gods is without historical meaning, and to deny human beings any role as witnesses of epochal happenings in the history of the Earth. Charts are drawn today that show peaks of sunspots occurring when Jupiter and Saturn are in position to exercise their maximal tidal draw upon ...
