THE PHANEROZOIC TIME-SCALE: A SUPPLEMENT. Hardcover – 1971

The Phanerozoic Time-scale was published by the Geological Society in I964. It was also issued as a supplementary volume (12os) of the Quarterly Journal of the Geological Society. This volume is a supplement to it. It is in two parts. Part I contains four papers and 67 items numbered 338-4o 4 in continuation of items 1-337 in The Phanerozoic Time-scale. The alphabetic index to the items refers to all the items in both volumes. Part 2 is a paper by P. Evans which, by treating the Pleistocene time-scale, supplements The Phanerozoic Time-scale by extending its range. After the publication of The Phanerozoic Time-scale and The Fossil Record it was decided to reconstitute them as the first two volumes in a series of Special Publications of the Geological Society. Time and Place in Orogeny then appeared as Special Publication no. 3. Its related compilation Data for Orogenic Studies is in preparation as Special Publication no. 4. This volume is thus Special Publication no. 5.

Radioisotopes and the Age of the Earth: Creationist Research

Radioisotopes and the Age of the Earth: Creationist Research

Radioisotopes and the Age of the Earth: Creationist Research

On May 20-21, 1998, a second conference to address radioisotopes and the age of the earth (RATE) met in San Diego, California. Six research scientists with specialized training in Geology, Geophysics, Astrophysics, and Physics met to report on research completed over the past year. They also discussed plans for future activities. The Institute for Creation Research (ICR), Answers in Genesis (AIG), and the Creation Research Society (CRS) are jointly sponsoring these conferences to develop and communicate an understanding of radioisotope data from a young-earth perspective. An initial approach taken by some of the investigators is to explore models for accelerated rates of decay of radioisotopes during Creation, the Fall, or the Flood. Several sources of data suggest that significant quantities of radioactive decay have occurred during the history of the earth and cosmos. The conventional age model assumes that this decay has occurred over billions of years at constant rates rather than in concentrated episodes over short periods of time. Some of the RATE researchers believe other explanations that do not require accelerated decay may be the answer, such as the geochemical distribution of elements.

Investigating the History of Earth (Introduction to Earth Science)

It may be hard to believe that the Earth, with all the complexity and biodiversity we observe today, originated in a cloud of gas and dust. Yet much of the plant and animal life that seems so common now evolved relatively recently on the timeline of Earths long history. The Earths remarkable origins are chronicled in this insightful volume, which also examines the prehistoric organismsfrom bacteria to dinosaursthat populated the planet long before humans arrived.

Historical Geology 6th Edition

HISTORICAL GEOLOGY, Sixth Edition, presents a balanced overview of the geological and biological history of Earth as a continuum of interrelated events that reflect the underlying principles and processes that have shaped our planet. Students are taught the basic geologic principles as well as how scientists apply these principles to unravel Earth's history. Three major themes - time, evolutionary theory, and plate tectonics - are woven together throughout the book to help students link essential material and enhance their understanding of historical geology. The sixth edition has been thoroughly updated to include the formation of the Earth-Moon system, information about the evolution of populations as a whole, and coverage of climate change throughout the text, placing an emphasis on what we don't know within the historical geology field as compared to what we do know.

Evolution of Archean Crust and Early Life (Modern Approaches in Solid Earth Sciences)

Evolution of Archean Crust and Early Life (Modern Approaches in Solid Earth Sciences)

Evolution of Archean Crust and Early Life (Modern Approaches in Solid Earth Sciences)

This book presents an integrated approach to the study of the evolution of the Archean lithosphere, biosphere and atmosphere, and as such it is a unique contribution to our understanding of the early Earth and life. The structural and geochemical make-up of both the oceanic and continental crust of the Archean Earth is documented in some case studies of various cratons, and the implications of the Phanerozoic plate and plume tectonic processes for the Archean geology are discussed in several chapters in the book. All chapters are process-oriented and data-rich, and reflect the most recent knowledge and information on the Archean Earth. The interdisciplinary approach of examining the evolution of the Archean crust, oceans, and life that we adopt in this book sets it apart from previous publications on Precambrian geology.

The book will be attractive to researchers in academia and in industry, and to senior undergraduate students, graduate students and faculty in earth and natural sciences.

Absolute Age Determination [Geyh, Mebus A., Schleicher, Helmut]

Absolute Age Determination [Geyh, Mebus A., Schleicher, Helmut]

Absolute Age Determination [Geyh, Mebus A., Schleicher, Helmut]

With the growing recognition during the last two centuries that the Earth has an immense age and processes over long periods of time have changed the morphology and composition of the Earth's crust, geologists have become increasingly interested in determination of absolute ages. A rela­ tive geochronology was established on the basis of the lithostratigraphic and biostratigraphic principles developed during the last century. With the discovery of radioactivity, the basis for a new geoscientific discipline - geochronology - was established (Rutherford 1906). It is the study of geological time, based mainly on the time signatures provided by the isotopic composition in geologic materials. The isotopic signature in a rock yields more information than that provided by the geochemical signature alone because it reflects the origin and history of the element in the rock. The aim of geochronology is to calibrate and standardize chronostrati­ graphic scales, to develop geological time scales that have a sensitive or at least useful resolution in order to place the geological events in the correct chronological order, and to assign their proper time spans. In practice, the application of geochronology is much wider because the data in the "natural archives" often provide information on the origin, genesis, and history of the materials. This, of course, requires an understanding of the geochemical behavior of the substances involved.
