- 1From:Earth Sciences History (Vol. 40, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedAnniversaries for the two founding fathers of geology occurring in the same year prompted a comparative evaluation of how the two contributed to establishing the basic principles of the discipline. To do so, passages...
- 2From:FEMS Microbiology Ecology (Vol. 97, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedPermafrost describes the condition of earth material (sand, ground, organic matter, etc.) cemented by ice when its temperature remains at or below 0[degrees]C continuously for longer than 2 years. Evidently, permafrost...
- 3From:Feminist Studies (Vol. 44, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedIN 1859 , the most eminent paleontologists and geologists firmly believed in the immutability of species, a belief stemming from their study of the geologic record. Examining the same archive, Charles Darwin saw a...
- 4From:Geologica Acta (Vol. 18, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedIn the coming years the Anthropocene will be likely submitted to formalization by the Anthropocene Working Group as a chronostratigraphic unit of the Geologic Time Scale. This has generated an increasing debate among...
- 5From:Mosaic: An interdisciplinary critical journal (Vol. 52, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedCharles Lyell's Principles of Geology (1830-33) is celebrated as the foundational text of modern geology. The Principles itself, however, begins by tracing the antecedents of geological thought far into the past, to "the...
- 6From:Science Scope (Vol. 32, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedGetting students to understand the concept of geologic time is challenging because it is difficult to imagine the vast time frame of Earth's history. In Grand Canyon National Park, where I worked for a few years as a...
- 7From:Michigan Academician (Vol. 46, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedCommunity Review of a Teacher-Friendly Version of the Stratigraphic Column of Michigan. Stephen Mattox and Connor Frymier, Grand Valley State University Stratigraphic Nomenclature for Michigan (Catacosinos and others,...
- 8From:Science (Vol. 305, Issue 5684) Peer-ReviewedThe geologic time scale stands as a major achievement of 19th-century science, a coherent record of our planet's history fashioned from myriad details of individual rock outcroppings. The eras, periods, and finer...
- 9From:Climate Dynamics (Vol. 52, Issue 9-10) Peer-ReviewedThe time-lag relationship between precipitation and sea surface temperature (SST) variations depends upon the time scale. The present study compares the relationship between precipitation and SST variations on three...

- 11From:American Scientist (Vol. 107, Issue 2)When trekking to the bottom of the Grand Canyon, hikers can glimpse geologic evidence of the Earth's past. Each striation of the rock wall represents a distinct period in Earth's history. But there are also gaps in...
- 12From:Science Scope (Vol. 33, Issue 4) Peer-ReviewedJust how old is the Earth? When students hear that our planet has a 4.6-billion-year history, they do not necessarily comprehend the magnitude of deep time, the huge expanse of time that has passed from the origin of...
- 13From:Land (Vol. 11, Issue 8) Peer-ReviewedPopularizing endogenic geological processes that act deep on the Earth during geologic time producing orogenic belts requires a great effort. Consequently, geosites dealing with structural geology are surveyed with a...
- 14From:Science Scope (Vol. 33, Issue 4) Peer-ReviewedOne of the greatest challenges for middle school Earth science teachers is helping our students get a feel for the magnitude of the long spans that make up Earth's history. Even for those trained in geology, it is...
- 15From:Earth Surface Dynamics (Vol. 6, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedOne of the main purposes of detrital thermochronology is to provide constraints on the regional-scale exhumation rate and its spatial variability in actively eroding mountain ranges. Procedures that use cooling age...
- 16From:Evolutionary Biology (Vol. 48, Issue 4) Peer-ReviewedThis review identifies the character of inflammatory arthritis in the Baboon Catacomb mummies, notes change in prevalence of the disease over the millennia and provides insight to ancient Egyptian animal husbandry....
- 17From:PeerJ (Vol. 7) Peer-ReviewedBackground In extant ecosystems, complex networks of ecological interactions between organisms can be readily studied. In contrast, understanding of such interactions in ecosystems of the geologic past is incomplete....
- 18From:Science Scope (Vol. 41, Issue 4) Peer-ReviewedMany students perceive the age of the Earth in tens, hundreds, or thousands of years instead of millions or billions. They also struggle with placing events in chronological order (Hidalgo, San Fernando, and Jose Otero...
- 19From:Biogeosciences (Vol. 19, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedGrowing evidence points to the dynamic role that kerogen is playing on Earth's surface in controlling atmospheric chemistry over geologic time. Although quantitative constraints on the weathering of kerogen remain loose,...
- 20From:Biodiversity Information Science and Standards (Issue 12) Peer-ReviewedAbstract Paleontology lies at the interface of earth sciences, biology and geologic time. When matched to histories of environmental change, such data is ideally suited to understanding how climate/environmental...
