... From: Catastrophist Geology Year 1 No. 2 (Dec 1976) Home | Issue Contents Horizontal Landslides During the 1960 Chile Earthquake Haroun Tazieff Commission Nationale de la Recherche Scientifique, Paris Introduction The 1960 Chile earthquake has had great repercussions, not only because of its magnitude and of the havock it has wrought, but also because of the lessons it has taught us about the possible role of earthquakes in geomorphology and in tectonics: landslides can move over considerable horizontal distances, whole provinces may suffer sudden elevation or subsidence, and we shall have to take into account the possibility that alpine nappes can be formed in a matter of minutes only. Also, the role of turbidity currents ...

763. Kentish Catastrophes [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... From: SIS Workshop Vol 4 No 2 (Sep 1981) Home | Issue Contents Kentish Catastrophes Jill Abery A gravel quarry in Kent has recently been the scene of a find that is extremely difficult to explain in conventional geological terms. Gravel deposits can be the remains of old sea beaches or river banks, in which case they consist of well-sorted, clean gravel. They can also be deposits of mixed dirt and stones left behind after the retreat of a glacier. Kent, however, has many of a third sort, very mixed deposits, not associated with the old Thames or Medway river beds and not explicable as glacier deposits, for the "Ice Age" ice ...
764. Fossil Radioactive Bones [Journals] [Catastrophist Geology]
... From: Catastrophist Geology Year 3 No. 1 (June 1978) Home | Issue Contents Fossil Radioactive Bones Comments on Apophoreta-4, ctd.J. Saxon Dounreay Nuclear Power Development Establishment United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority (Northern Division) Thurso, Caithness, Great Britain The bones of a number of Devonian fishes from the Orcadian cuvette have been checked for radioactivity by myself and my colleagues. All seven specimens of the genus Homostius so far checked were highly radioactive, due in one case mainly to uranium and its daughter products (Diggle & Saxon, 1965) and in others to thorium and its daughter products (see eg Bowie & Atkin, 1956). Other cenera from the ...
... starts with myth and literature, developing hypotheses from these areas which he then applies to the interpretation of natural phenomena. His approach has been to speculate rather than to perform experiments. The incredible thing is that when experimental data finally is produced, it tends to confirm his hypotheses." 1 Harry H. Hess, President of the American Geological Society, wrote, "Some of these predictions were said to be impossible when you [Velikovsky] made them. All of them were predicted long before proof that they were correct came to hand. Conversely, I do not know of any specific prediction you made that has since been proven to be false."2 One of ...
766. The Science of Evolution (Part I) [Journals] [Kronos]
... The European tradition of non-Darwinian biology includes not just the evolutionism of Grassé but also the anti-evolutionism of Nilsson (1953). However, both rely heavily on fossils as the record of unique events. In addition to conflicting conceptions of what constitutes the scientific study of evolution (for example, Grassé versus Stansfield) is a conception of the historical geological record so clearly and repeatedly catastrophic as to render improbable the continuity of highly developed life from era to era. The weakness of traditional catastrophism is the lack of a unified theory, but it never loses sight of the geological facts. As emphasized by another European, the leading historian of the battle between catastrophism and uniformitarianism: "Catastrophism ...

768. The Neutrino-Sea -- Hypothesis or Reality [Journals] [Catastrophist Geology]
... From: Catastrophist Geology Year 2 No. 1 (June 1977) Home | Issue Contents The Neutrino-Sea- Hypothesis or Reality Horace C. Dudley University of Illinois Medical Center, Chicago, USA Scientific Revolutions, Past and Present Scientific Revolutions can be defined as profound changes in our basic concepts about the workings of the physical universe. These Revolutions are triggered by the development of new and more accurate apparatus with which we extend our senses. New concepts evolve out of the attempts to correlaleand understand the new data which this new apparatus produces. Thus, new paradigms replace the old thru evolutionary processes, and enable us to understand better the workings of the macrocosmos and the microcosmos. ...
769. Comments on the Second Issue [Journals] [Catastrophist Geology]
... From: Catastrophist Geology Year 2 No. 1 (June 1977) Home | Issue Contents Comments on the Second Issue The Yuty Crater on Mars' by V.Axel Firsoff (CG of Dec. '76, p.47) contains the statement that a body falling from infinity on the surface of the Moon would attain 2.38 km/s " presumably because Firsoff regards the theoretical escape velocity as the upper limit. In fact, a body falling from infinity is rather like a comet and these are known to have velocities of several hundred km/s when they graze the Sun, in which the escape velocity is 619 km/s . In other ...
