Evolving Theories on the Origin of the Moon
Author: Warren D. Cummings
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3030291197
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 320
Book Description
This book follows the development of research on the origin of the Moon from the late 18th century to the present. By gathering together the major texts, papers, and events of the time, it provides a thorough chronicle of the paradigmatic shift in planetary science that arose from the notion that the Earth-Moon system was formed from two colliding planetary bodies. The book covers pre-Apollo ideas, the conceptual evolution during and subsequent to the Apollo explorations of the Moon, and the development of the Earth-Moon system consensus. A plethora of excerpts from key publications are included to demonstrate the shift in scientific focus over the centuries. Through its comprehensive review of lunar science research and literature, this book shows how new technologies and discoveries catalyzed the community and revolutionized our understanding of the Moon’s formation.

Comparison of the Cretaceous-Tertiary Boundary Impact Events and the 0.77-Ma Australasian Tektite Event
Author: E. C. T. Chao
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Cretaceous-Paleogene boundary
Languages : en
Pages : 32
Book Description
Reinterpretation of iridium anomalies, shocked quartz, and microtektites attributed to cratering events in Cretaceous-Tertiary boundary sections. Evidence from the Ries crater of Germany and Australasian tektites is essential to understanding giant craters and mass extinction.

Pannotia to Pangaea
Author: B. Murphy
Publisher: Geological Society of London
ISBN: 1786204924
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 666
Book Description
Special Publication 503 celebrates the career of R. Damian Nance. It features 27 articles, with more than 110 authors based in 18 different countries. These articles include contributions on the processes responsible for the formation and breakup of supercontinents, the controversies concerning the status of Pannotia as a supercontinent, the generation and destruction of Paleozoic oceans, and the development of the Appalachian-Ouachitan-Caledonide-Variscan orogens. In addition to field work, the approaches to gain that understanding include examining the relationships between stratigraphy and structural geology, precise geochronology, geochemical and isotopic fingerprinting, geodynamic modelling, regional syntheses, palaeogeographic modelling, and good old-fashioned arm-waving! The wide range of topics mirrors the breadth and depth of Damian’s contributions, interests and expertise. Like Damian’s papers, the contributions range from the predominantly conceptual to detailed field work, but all are targeted at understanding important tectonic processes. Their scope not only varies in scale from global to regional to local, but also in the range of approaches required to gain that understanding.
