Sir William Thomson, physician.
ABOUT 35 YEARS AGO a young inexperienced and very nervous student entered Wards 1 and 2 of the Royal Victoria Hospital, Belfast, as resident pupil. The same student-I hope I am still capable of learning-stands before you this evening and hopes you will receive him as graciously as Professor W. W. D. Thomson did on that occasion. He shook my hand and welcomed me as a new member of his team. This...
متن کاملClimate on Geological Time Scales
JULY 2003, GSA TODAY ABSTRACT Atmospheric levels of CO2 are commonly assumed to be a main driver of global climate. Independent empirical evidence suggests that the galactic cosmic ray flux (CRF) is linked to climate variability. Both drivers are presently discussed in the context of daily to millennial variations, although they should also operate over geological time scales. Here we analyze t...
متن کاملRoughness of SIR-C and AIRSAR Data for the of Geological Surfaces
T h e surface roughness of alluvial fans in Death Valley, California, changes as the fans age. Because radar backscatter is sensitive to surface roughness, it is possible to map relative surface age using Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data. We have examined surface roughness estimates in Death Valley from Shuttle Imaging Radar-C SAR data with the use of a technique that we call foreground~back...
متن کاملOntology-aided annotation, visualization, and generalization of geological time-scale information from online geological map services
Geological maps are increasingly published and shared online, whereas tools and services supporting information retrieval and knowledge discovery are underdeveloped. In this study, we developed an ontology of geological time scale by using a RDF (Resource Description Framework) model to represent the ordinal hierarchical structure of the geological time scale and to encode collected annotations...
