geology

I mean, why do guys with phds in earth science or geology have to get lumped in with nuts like Neal Adams and his expanding Earth bullshit? Why would Tedx weigh them as the same?

Sadly, the whole story is a mishmash of charlatans, myth, and a lot of basic geology. There's no mystery.

The rest of it seems reaching and improbable, but I don't have the background to comment on any of the math or geology presented.

It is good foundational geology, yes, but water has essentially been confirmed for years now. The story of Mars in short: flop planet, can't hydrosphere.

So even if you don't agree with my politics, maybe you'll agree with my geology. Let's not build a vast, distributed global network only to put everything in one place!"

As an earth sciences student I heard exactly the same myth about Nobel being cuckold by a geologist, explaining why there was no prize in geology. It's funny to see that the myth knows no disciplinary boundaries.

[2] Nevertheless, circumstances can occur when the geologist would be committing fraud if, because he owes a duty to the farmer, he did not disclose the information; for example, if he had been hired by Farmer Smith to assess the geology of the farm." &;&."

The contamination is much more a function of the geology than the fracking process itself. Pennsylvania has been hit heavily with contamination.

It was surprisingly interesting to hear about the chemistry and geology and supply chain management of such a mundane substance. I guess the DOE scientists running this project were not aware of these subtle issues of chemistry and geology.

For example, I wouldn't be surprised if oil companies are inserting into geology class that global warming is a hoax. In much the same way we have separation of church and state, perhaps we should consider having a separation of corporation and state.

I wonder how many people making this claim are willing to apply it to geology, oceanography, climate science, astronomy and epidemiology?

It's also recommended to pick up a freshman textbook on geology to understand the game's many types of rocks, which is apparently pretty realistic following Tarn's personal interest in geology/mineralogy. The depth of this "game" is breathtaking.

I suspect that I spent more than three days on researching lunar geology, minerology, titanium refining, the compresibility of air, etc. Not to mention that my first draft took 9 months, and my revisions have taken 12 months.

Other examples of necessarily observational sciences include geology, paleontology, epidemiology, and much of the social sciences."
