Geology

scientists, evolution is being called, "God's method of creation". Scientists and people say that in Genesis it shows a record of the six days of creation, and it has been / is being reinterpreted in terms of the evolutionary ages of historical geology. I believe that…

In the history of Walter Alverez’s work, there has been a community of scientists that have collaborated together in efforts to solve the mystery of dinosaur extinction. What started out as an interest in the magnetic flip-flops in the sedimentary rocks of the Italian Apennine Mountains, Alverez’s surprising observations quickly spurred several other questions. These questions regarding the “KT” boundary (boundary between the Cretaceous and Tertiary periods) led Alverez to ponder further…

Leonardo da Vinci created masterpieces of art and sculpture. Equally remarkable, his aggregate achievements in engineering, mathematics, anatomy, geology, physics, music, military technology, aeronautics, and a wide range of other fields, not only stood without peer in his own time, but were strikingly prescient for the distant future. He recorded his forward-looking ideas in thousands of notebook pages, known as codices. He produced one codex entirely on flight in 1505-1506, the Codex on the…

To be a Forensic Scientist you will need a degree in either a scientific or biological subject, chemistry, or forensic science. A degree in statistics and geology also is very helpful for the job. Since there is such a competition for the job, getting a MSc or PhD in forensic science is very helpful also, anthropology and archaeology can also be very beneficial. The best colleges to go to for this career would be, University of Mississippi in Oxford, University of Central Florida, and Loyola…

I chose the topic, Geology: Understanding Fossils. I’ve always been fascinated by fossils and where they came from, what we can gain/learn from them. My source for research is below, used via Google Scholar. Fossils - why are they important? This is a great question that a lot of people should be well-informed with. In the mission to seek out and discover fossils, we learn a lot about why this is important and where it all started. In the book, “Discovering Fossils: How to Find and Identify…

I wanted to tell you about my voyage that I took to the Galápagos Islands that took about 5 years to take. In the Galápagos Islands I found many different species of birds that are called the finches. Every finch that I found looked the same but the shape and size of the beak were a little different. When I visited South America I found armadillo fossils, and these fossils were really big and kind of looked the same, but a little different to the armadillos alive walking around. I learned…

nothing to do with the job you are applying for having something that can separate you from the masses of other applicants is a good idea. Getting a minor in mathematics or geology as a petroleum engineer is a good thing, but you will not stick out of the herd too much by doing it. A lot of people have minors in mathematics and geology, a good idea would be something distinct like taking a few extra classes in electronics, coding, or even communications. As someone who is trying to build a…

that roam the island are an exciting feature of the island. The National Park Service's protection of this landform mostly includes preventing the development of the island with large hotels and homes. Richard A. Davis Jr., from the Department of Geology at the University of Southern Florida, published an article about barrier islands in 2014. In the “management” section of the article, he discussed how many barrier islands today have become highly developed areas for tourists and residents, but…

Students have been learning by leaps and bounds throughout February. Time flies when you’re having fun, and in a leap year! Whether its heart-pumping excitement at the fire department, investigating beyond your average brainteaser, rocking out in geology, or commemorating America by learning from its’ history, students are challenging their academic achievements. This month has been absolutely extraordinary, and we are happy to share with you a little about the wonderful activities your…

Earth and the life on it. Paleontologist determine the evolution of organisms and the interactions with different interactions. Paleontology lies on a thin line between biology and geology. Biology is the study of living organisms, including their structure, function, growth, evolution, identification and taxonomy. Geology is the study of earth science, geologist study solid earth such as the…
