paleomagnetism

Till recently, Steve Gillett was a research professor at the Mackay School of Mines, University of Nevada, Reno, where he'd worked on Paleozoic paleomagnetism, lunar resources, and seismic risk at Yucca Mountain, Nevada, the proposed high-level nuclear waste repository.

Following the early work of von Humboldt, von Buch and Lyell, an enormous amount of vulcanological research has been done and is still carried out - into volcanic seismic activity, earthquakes, paleomagnetism and the collection of geo-chronological data.

And the evidence builds as you move from discipline ot discipline, and study to study: plate tectonics, paleontology, mitochondrial DNA, molecular biology, paleomagnetism, etc., etc.

One aspect of paleomagnetism that has fascinated me since I took Geology 112 at Tulane, is that numerous times in the past the poles have done more than just wander - they have reversed positions entirely.

That ash can be dated by two methods: the decay of radioactive elements contained in it and _paleomagnetism_, which detects the imprint of the Earth's magnetic field in rock strata, using changes in that field to determine the era in which the rocks were formed.

And let's not forget how these same Christian fundamentalists will summarily dismiss the absolutely overwhelming evidence for biological evolution from diverse fields of study such as biology, geology, paleontology, microbiology, paleomagnetism, cosmology, etc., and yet, they are ABSOLUTELY convinced of the credibility of an ancient story of someone who had a vision.

He deals with the history of the theories of evolution and plate tectonics, his own experiences researching paleomagnetism, the economics of the spice trade, telegraphy; he provides a lengthy history of the Dutch colonization of Indonesia.
