Robotics as an Educational Tool

This paper explores a new educational application of Piaget’s theories of cognitive development i.e. the use, as a teaching tool, of physical robots conceived as artificial organisms. By using simple assembly kits, students at all levels are able to project and construct real robots that simulate the behaviors of animals. The process of constructing real robots helps students to understand conc...

From Black Mud to Earth System Science: a Scientific Autobiography

This autobiography covers the past 55 years of my research in geochemistry. I try to show how chemical principles can be applied to a wide variety of geological problems, ranging from iron sulfide mineralogy, to carbonate chemistry in the oceans, to silicate mineral surface chemistry during weathering, to biogeochemical changes during early diagenesis, to plants and weathering, to models for th...
