  • A Mineralogy of Anthropocene E
    1 A Minerology for the Anthropocene Pierre FLUCK Institut Universitaire de France / Docteur-ès-Sciences / geologist and archeologist / Emeritus Professor at Université de Haute-Alsace This essay is a follow-up on « La signature stratigraphique de l’Anthropocène », which is also available on HAL- Archives ouvertes. Table of contents 1. Introduction: neoformation minerals in ancient mining galleries 2. Minerals from burning coal mines 3. Minerals from the mineral processing industry 4 ...and metallurgy 5. Neoformations in slags 6. Speciation of heavy metals in soils 7. Metal objects in their archaeological environment, or affected by fire 8. Neoformations in or on the surface of building stones 9. A mineralogy of materials. The “miracle of the potter”. The minerals in cement 10. A mineralogy of the biosphere? Conclusions Warning. This paper is written to be read by both specialists and a wider audience. However, it contains many mineral names. While these may resonate in the minds of mineralogists or collectors, they may not be as meaningful to less discerning readers. Such readers should not be scared, for they may find excellent encyclopaedic records on the web, including chemical composition, crystallographic properties and description of each of these species. This is why we have decided not to include further information in this paper. Acknowledgements. I would like to thank the mineralogists with whom I have had the opportunity to maintain fruitful exchanges for a long time: my pupil Hubert Bari, Éric Asselborn, Cédric Lheur, François Farges. And I would like to honour the memories of René Weil (1901-1983), my master in descriptive mineralogy, and of Jacques Geffroy (1918-1993), pupil of Alfred Lacroix, my master in metallogeny.

  • Statecraft and Insect Oeconomies in the Global French Enlightenment (1670-1815)
    Statecraft and Insect Oeconomies in the Global French Enlightenment (1670-1815) Pierre-Etienne Stockland Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2018 © 2017 Etienne Stockland All rights reserved ABSTRACT Statecraft and Insect Oeconomies in the Global French Enlightenment (1670-1815) Pierre-Etienne Stockland Naturalists, state administrators and farmers in France and its colonies developed a myriad set of techniques over the course of the long eighteenth century to manage the circulation of useful and harmful insects. The development of normative protocols for classifying, depicting and observing insects provided a set of common tools and techniques for identifying and tracking useful and harmful insects across great distances. Administrative techniques for containing the movement of harmful insects such as quarantine, grain processing and fumigation developed at the intersection of science and statecraft, through the collaborative efforts of diplomats, state administrators, naturalists and chemical practitioners. The introduction of insectivorous animals into French colonies besieged by harmful insects was envisioned as strategy for restoring providential balance within environments suffering from human-induced disequilibria. Naturalists, administrators, and agricultural improvers also collaborated in projects to maximize the production of useful substances secreted by insects, namely silk, dyes and medicines. A study of

  • 1995 Ray K. Linsley Award
    --~....-­ WATER RESOURCES AT RISK May 14-18, 1995, Denver, Colotado American lnsIiIuIe 01 Hydrology 1995 RAY K. LINSLEY AWARD Citation Vit Klemes I consider it a great honor to be chosen to present the Ray Linsley Award to my good friend, Vit Klemes. I don't remember when we first met, but it was long, long ago and far, far away, as the Trekkies say. And a Trekkie Vit is. His first acclaim was in his native Czechoslovakia, ending up working in the Hydrology and Hydraulics Institute of the Slovak Academy of Sciences in Bratislava. Bratislava is a beautiful city, known for its good wine, as Prague is for its good beer. However, Vit decided for some reason that he preferred Canada to Czechoslovakia, perhaps because of its balmy climate. Vit taught at the University of Toronto before joining Environment Canada, where he worked from 1972 until retirement in 1989. Vit is perhaps best known for his work on water resource systems, particularly reservoir planning. His common sense thinking about problems always questions the conventional wisdom. It is that questioning attitude thorough w~lich Vit has made many of his greatest contributions. In the American Geophysical Union the Hydrology Section has threatened to distribute Tee Shirts emblazoned "REPENT, DAVE DAWDY IS COMING" We won't repent because Vit is coming, but there are many who have repented because they followed the common path of thinking, and Vit has shown them wrong. I have always prided myself on being the curmudgeon of hydrology, so it is with much regret that I must bestow on Vit the title of CHIEF CURMUDGEON OF HYDROLOGY as well as the Ray Linsley Award.

  • Liddicoatite Tourmaline from Anjanabonoina, Madagascar
    LIDDICOATITE TOURMALINE FROM ANJANABONOINA, MADAGASCAR By Dona M. Dirlam, Brendan M. Laurs, Federico Pezzotta, and William B. (Skip) Simmons Liddicoatite, a calcium-rich lithium tourmaline, was recognized as a separate mineral species in 1977, and named in honor of Richard T. Liddicoat. Most of the remarkable polychrome tourmalines with varied geometric patterns that are characteristic of this species were produced during the 20th century from the Anjanabonoina pegmatite deposit in central Madagascar. To best display its complex color zoning and patterns, the tourmaline is commonly sold as polished slices or carvings. Liddicoatite exhibits physical and optical properties that overlap those of elbaite, so quantitative chemical analysis is required to distinguish these species; both may occur in a single crystal. The most common internal features are color zoning, strain patterns, partially healed fractures, feathers, needle-like tubes, negative crystals, and albite inclusions. or decades, liddicoatite from Madagascar has three lithium tourmalines with the general formula F been prized for its dramatic color zoning.
