最新一期的增生楔,这个备受赞誉的地质博客圈聚会,这次由地质学家伊芙琳·默文在她名为“Georneys”的博客上主持,她正在询问你是否“在意想不到的地方看到了地质现象?

这里有一个有点病态的方式来回答这个问题 - 一块地质学家的墓碑 - 正如在一份旧报纸(1856年出版)上看到的那样,碑文上写着

My name is David Bressan and I'm a freelance geologist working mainly in the Austroalpine crystalline rocks and the South Alpine Palaeozoic and Mesozoic cover-sediments in the Eastern Alps. I graduated with a project on Rock Glaciers dynamics and hydrology, this phase left a special interest for quaternary deposits and modern glacial environments. During my research on glaciers, studying old maps, photography and reports on the former extent of these features, I became interested in history, especially the development of geomorphologic and geological concepts by naturalists and geologists. Living in one of the key area for the history of geology, I combine field trips with the historic research done in these regions, accompanied by historic maps and depictions. I discuss broadly also general geological concepts, especially in glaciology, seismology, volcanology, palaeontology and the relationship of society and geology.
