... New World, and that it was largely free of ice at the time. This was his conclusion based on studying maps like the Orontius Finnaeus chart of 1531. Now Dr John W. Weihaupt of Colorado University has come to similar conclusions after studying the same maps, and has published his paper in EOS, the Proceedings of the American Geophysical Union. Weihaupt thinks that Antarctica may have been mapped during the Holocene changes to the ice cover. He defends himself in the later issue of EOS, giving a massive bibliography supporting the idea of recent extensive changes to the Antarctic ice cover.

... The driest part of the Sahara was once a substantial lake". A region spanning south-east Libya, southern Egypt and northern Sudan was covered by Lake Oyo from 7000 to 3000 BC. The muds of this lake have been discovered under desert sand and contain algae, charcoal and pollen, bones, shells and remains of much wild life. Geophysicist Dr Vance Haynes of the University of Arizona has been seeking a possible drying force for ten years and thinks the Milankovitch effect might have changed the latitude of the African monsoon....

... effects. Furthermore, comets may have been the vehicles that carried to Earth the raw materials for life to have begun (as also Hoyle and Wickramasinghe). All the indications are that the scientific community is rather excited by this theory, and already the big names are lining up, for and against. Its appearance in the highly respectable GEOPHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS (forthcoming) should be the start of a lively debate: we will doubtless hear more of this. Redating the Exodus?sources: BIBLICAL ARCHAEOLOGY REVIEW July/August 1985, vol.XI:4 , pp.58-69: idem Nov/Dec 1985, vol.XI:6 , pp.l8-19, 72 ...
425. The Cautious Revolutionary [Journals] [SIS Review]
... the opportunity or the courage to discuss openly the involvement of all forms of catastrophism in evolution. A survey carried out in 1985 on readers of the specialist journal Paleobiology showed that 92% accepted that mass extinctions had taken place at the end of the Cretaceous period, although the proportion supporting the extraterrestrial impact hypothesis varied from 31% of American geophysicists to just 9% of British palaeontologists [31]. It may be that in time most of the specific suggestions of Alvarez and his colleagues will turn out to be wrong: the Cretaceous missile, even if it existed, might not have been an asteroid, but a comet or a series of comets; it might have hit ...

... a force field does not engender confidence. I postpone a verdict on Runcorn; but not on Carrigan and Gubbins as a copy of their article has reached me. It is indeed non-technical, but hardly enlightening. Five pages describing a model for the magnetic field end: With the failure of laboratory experiments to model the effects of magnetic fields geophysicists have turned their attention to theoretical considerations'. Reading the description of this theoretical work carefully, one sees conjecture piled upon conjecture, all on a foundation of solid uniformitarian conviction. Thus: "Paleomagnetic work suggests that during a reversal the dipolar field first decays in intensity for roughly 10,000 years, then suddenly changes polarity and ...
428. 'No Impact': René Gallant (1906-1985) [Books]
... Gallant clearly suffered many of the same problems as Buckman, being both an amateur and an outsider. In the 1960's many British astronomers were then enthusiastic supporters of the view of lunar cratering as having been only volcanic in origin and so they gave his impactological' views little attention. In addition Gallant suffered from the fact that the worlds of geophysics and geology were long excessively split apart in Britain [86] . But Gallant's biggest problem was surely that he had tried to be a too multi-disciplinarian? The problems of finding people even capable of reviewing his book in Britain have been noted above. Kathleen Mark has suggested to me (with great insight in my opinion) that " ...

... (p . 42 of the same issue) that the letter was originally submitted to the journal Open Earth on 21st February 1985 and accepted for publication, but the journal has not been issued since that date. Its Editor, Dr Peter Smith, agreed to the letter being published by SIS.* The importance of tides in connection with geophysics is also indicated by the following item from the science section of Soviet Weekly, 13th August 1988, p. 11: "Tidal Core Starts Quakes "Earthquakes and volcanic eruptions are triggered off by tidal movement of the Earth's core, according to a new theory advanced by Byelorussian scientist Yuri Mikhailov. He suggests that most of the Earth's ...
... . They found their new level only after a great deal of oscillating to and fro between the tropics and the poles. The tropical air tide, too, flowed off and spread evenly over the globe. And the greatly distorted, flattened globe returned to its spherical shape, amid inconceivable seismic and volcanic activity. The geological aspects of these geophysical occurrences will be fully discussed in their proper places The sequence of events which we have passed in rapid review has been related to the predecessor of our Moon, the Tertiary satellite', but that sequence was, to all intents and purposes, the same for all the other earlier satellites of the Earth. These satellitic ages, of ...
