The advocates of the vulcanism hypothesis have included Dewey McLean, a geologist at the Virginia Polytechnic Institute, and Vincent Courtillot, a geophysicist from the Institut de Physique du Globe, Paris. Conflicting views about the K-T transition Although the Alvarez paper of June 1980 stimulated much investigation and discussion about the possible ...

... gained acceptance only two or three decades after their publication. Characteristically and also concomitant with his 80th birthday in 1988, Alfvén was awarded the most prestigious prize of the American Geophysical Union, the Bowie medal, for his work three decades earlier on comets and plasmas in the solar system. Disputed for 30 years, many of his theories about ... was often forced to publish his papers in obscure journals; and his work was continuously disputed for many years by the most renowned senior scientist in space physics, the British-American geophysicist Sydney Chapman. Even among physicists today there is little awareness of Alfvén's many contributions to fields of physics where his ideas are used without recognition of who conceived them. ...

... evidence of recent stupendous volcanism on a surface that appears to be pristine. One of the first indications of this excessive volcanism was presented in May 1990 in the Journal of Geophysical Research which analyzed the sulfur content of the Venusian clouds. There Na Y.

However, when they observe misshapen craters on Venus in which nearly all craters over 12 ...

The Sun affects the mind Science Frontiers No. 91, Jan-Feb 1994, p. 1 When the admissions dates of psychiatric patients were checked against various parameters of geophysical activity, significant correlations were found with high levels of solar radioflux, sudden magnetic disturbances in the ionosphere and the index of geomagnetic activity.

Periods of intense activity seem to be triggered about every century. Other geophysicists studying ancient vast outpourings of lava such as the Kerguelen Plateau, an elevated region of sea floor just north of Antarctica and the continental Deccan Traps in India, have ...

By mid-1956 preparations for the International Geophysical Year were gaining momentum. On December 5, 1956, I gave to Hess a memo describing, in brevity, several projects for inclusion in the IGY.

He asked UCLA's geophysicist, Professor Louis Slichter, to organize a committee for the same kind of inquiry I had proposed to Hess. Murphy's initiative, however, foundered and the story needs ...

There is an excellent criticism of the Milankovitch theory of ice ages which is contrasted with the much more likely theory of pole shift due to frequent meteoritic bombardments ... . By comparison the range of craters presented by René Gallant in 1964 as evidence for massive meteorite bombardment seems relatively modest. Perhaps more today than when it was published, geophysicists and Solar System astronomers should read it. Most would, I feel sure, find it very enjoyable, especially for his occasional dry comment, as in the final ...

But they are very important from a geological and geophysical point of view, and certainly very important from an astronomical point of view. What I am really trying to emphasise to you is that we now have the framework ... ? Dr. Clube: No. Basically, the magnetic field is controlled by a fairly complex set of currents in the Earth's dynamo, and it is well known to geophysicists that this is a very unstable system. Essentially this means that if you whack it, it wobbles, and it's fairly clear to the theoreticians who study this system ...
