I'd like to know if some one has sometimes calculated the amount of
sample mass necessary to ensure the collection of representative
samples in geochemical prospection campains.
Thanks.

Anyone could suggest me some (very) good universities and countries for
pursuing graduate study in geophysics, especially in exploration
geophysics and EM methods?   If possible also have generous scholarship
for international student (well, if any :-D). What are the prequisites?

The dummies of Koyoto are at it again touting the benefits of reducing
carbon dioxide. They figure it this way
Since we have burned carbon to create energy for various purposes then
we should separate the oxygen and carbon when we are done.  Of course

A prediction of an impending major EQ in Afghanistan & Pakistan caused many
to abandon their homes in inclement weather. The prediction of an impending
EQ was traced to a cleric. Announcements re the expected EQ were made over
loud speakers from Mosques through out areas of ...

Any interesting salary survey from the Society of Exploration

I observed this page by Don (I think Finlay), and I compared it to other
pages from PT regular scientists, and I found that Don mentions  (rather
ironically) a fault between Australia and India, whereas other PT maps just
show ONE plate for India and Australia, with no fault.

U. Chicago research indicates that the splash pattern, for instance
when a blob of molten lava strikes a surface, is dependent largely on
the surrounding air pressure. Here is the link:

I would be very grateful if anyone can help me with the following:
About a year ago we moved into a new build.  In the bathroom to the
master bedroom, we had travertine floor tiles laid down on top of
underfloor heating mats.  Since then, the tiles have cracked (in

We read that tons of dpace dust falls to Earth anually. We made a
'trap' for micro-meteroid dust in the back yard using a plastic sheet
and a big magnet. It captured an interesting amount of ferrous
material, which we believe to be micrometeorite dust/debris. Under the

My knowledge of geology is a bit parochial, so could anyone throw light
on a problem that has puzzled me for a while.
Both the Atlantic and the Pacific have mid-oceanic ridges which are
growing, but the situation on the Pacific Rim, with frequent

Indian scientists think that a comet exploded in the atmosphere and carried
spores to rain clouds.

What is the scientific evidence that subduction exists?
