... medals for Exceptional Scientific Achievement and for Distinguished Public Service, and the international astronautics prize, the Prix Galabert. He has served as Chairman of the Division for Planetary Sciences of the American Astronomical Society, as Chairman of the Astronomy Section of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and as President of the Planetology Section of the American Geophysical Union. For twelve years, he was Editor-in-Chief of Icarus, the leading professional journal devoted to planetary research. In addition to 400 published scientific and popular articles, Dr. Sagan is the author, co-author or editor of more than a dozen books, including Intelligent Life in the Universe < < but not, apparently, in the ...
402. Were All Dinosaurs Reptiles? [Journals] [Kronos]
... caves. Small animals could enter clefts of the rocks, or holes in the ground, and though they also were destroyed by myriads, relatively more of them could survive. In the conditions that followed the catastrophe, the very few large dinosaurs which were left alive, were condemned to extinction as the result of violent alterations in practically all geophysical conditions: changes in magnetic fields, in temperature, in the composition of the atmosphere, in the length of the day and of the year, along with the change in the seasons, profoundly affected organic life. Especially the increased weight of everything on the Earth,(12) caused the bodies of the few remaining brontosaurs to ...

... 14km above the Earth over storm clouds, rising like fountains another 20km into the stratosphere. There followed a report, published in New Scientist of 19 August, 1995, p.34: ". .. in the summer of 1994, using two aircraft flying about 50 kilometres apart, they [Davis Sentman and Eugene Wescott of the Geophysical Institute of the University of Alaska in Fairbanks] caught the first colour videos of sprites at work. The flashes look like the Fourth of July, like Roman candles with fountains," says Sentman. Observing the same sprites from two different directions allowed Sentman and Wescott to work out their altitudes and dimensions for the first time. Prior ...

... , over a period of time, have reduced the ability of the tether insulation to withstand electrical breakdown due to contamination found in the tether. "The tether itself was a remarkable engineering achievement," said Ken Szalai, who chaired the investigative board, "and produced some startling scientific discoveries." Scientific papers recently presented at an American Geophysical Union conference reported that currents generated by the tether were three times higher than theoretical models had predicted prior to the flight. "Constructing a tether that was strong, lightweight and electrically conducting took the project into technical and engineering areas where they had never been before," said Szalai. "Now, with 20/20 hindsight, ...

... a depth of 138 feet. Therefore, it is quite clear that the ice modeling of the Greenland ice cap indicated a depth of 80 feet for the planes but this analysis failed to even come near the actual depth at which the squadron was ultimately located. According to David Hayes who wrote about the various expeditions, William Thuma, a geophysicist, in September 1985 who after the 80 foot level was reached failed to reveal the planes, using magnetic signals, and "having had time to run his data through computers and review the findings patiently, Thuma was able to draw a tentative conclusion about what they called site number four, the B-17 tower, which put the plane ...

... than 4 x 1016 volts, negative- seemed to him so ridiculous that he rejected it immediately. An electric charge of the necessary magnitude to give the earth such a potential, wrote Rowland, "would undoubtedly tear the earth to pieces and distribute its fragments to the uttermost parts of the universe (4 ). " Such arguments have convinced geophysicists ever since Rowland's time that an electric charge on the earth cannot be held responsible for terrestrial magnetism. Most recently, it has been fashionable to rest content with the so-called dynamo theory as an explanation for the earth's magnetic field. It is supposed that the field is generated by motions in the molten core of the earth. No one ...

... doubt that it also was compiled from accurate source maps of Antarctica... in this case of the entire continent. Close examination has proved [that] the original source maps must have been compiled at a time when the land mass and inland waterways of the continent were relatively free of ice. THE CONCLUSION IS FURTHER SUPPORTED BY INTERNATIONAL GEOPHYSICAL YEAR TEAMS IN THEIR MEASUREMENTS OF THE SUBGLACIAL TOPOGRAPHY. 12 (Capitalization Added} This material like that which precedes it is also found among Mewhinney's citations. Again, for all Mewhinney's supposed in-depth analysis of the errors Hapgood made, why did he omit this basic evidence? Professional cartographers using the Oronteus Fineus map, not Hapgood alone, ...

... second Ages in Chaos volume on a back burner, he completed what he thought was his best book, Earth in Upheaval. (35) The book, which has proved to be more durable in sales than any of Velikovsky's works except Worlds in Collision, was published in November, 1955, just before the official start of the International Geophysical Year. He had requested that Doubleday reserve advertising space in Scientific American, but the journal's advertising manager rejected the request on November 1; (36) and there was little formal public reaction to it. Just as the historians had chosen to ignore his historical reconstruction in 1952, the geologists turned their faces the other way in 1955 ...
