In a study conducted by Dr. David Hodell and Dr. Jason Curtis‚ geologists at the University of Florida‚ evidence of a serious drought during the time when the Mayans began to fall was found. By analyzing sediments beneath Lake Chichancanab on the Yucatan Peninsula‚ they were able to call it “"the first unambiguous evidence" for a period of extreme aridity between the years 800 and 1000”(World

THESE ARE NOTES Eruption The physical features of the present island of Thera and the archaeological artefacts uncovered at Akrotiri have provided us with a physical and historical puzzle. In this section I will investigate one part of the puzzle – The main features of the destruction of the Bronze-Age Island and society of Thera. The Earthquakes When the late Bronze-Age island of Thera erupted nothing truly scientific would have been known. It would have been seen as the ‘wrath of the gods’

discoveries were possible new to advances in dating technology in the past few years. Although many scientist are enthusiastic about this new forthcoming evidence‚ there is still a great deal of debate regarding the age of the canyon. Dr. Young‚ a Geologists who has studied that Grand Canyon for years‚ stated to AmazingPlanet.com that "We agreed that there were two canyons‚ one in the west and in the east‚ we don’t disagree on that. The problem is that Dr. Flowers wants to make the western canyon very

As the world continues to improve medical research‚ people are living longer than ever before. While people are living longer‚ babies are still being born and this causes a need for more natural resources than ever before. While the world is using the recent resources in record numbers‚ scientists and environmentalists are scrambling to find new resources and solutions that will support the increasing world population‚ while at the same time protect the environment. Sometimes the scientists and environmentalists

Sequence stratigraphy Sequence stratigraphy is a method of stratigraphic interpretation that combines the chronological order of the accumulation of sediments‚ their stratal architecture and the geometric relationships of their facies to determine depositional setting and predict stratal continuity. The workflow of sequence stratigraphic analysis first identifies the genetic units and bounding surfaces that compose the stratigraphic section in outcrop‚ core‚ well-log and seismic data. The framework
