IV ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I am deeply grateful to all my Committee members: Rev. Dr. Mary Westfall, Dr. John Carroll, Dr. Barry Rock, Dr. Tom Kelly, and Dr. Eberhard Mobius, for their invaluable help and support, encouragement and intellectual insights, open-mindedness, and constructive criticism that helped me to shape and complete the present research. My special gratitude goes to Mary Westfall for her encouragement and blessings when at the critical moment of doubt in my life about whether to change my career from being a scientist to teaching sustainability, her friendly advice helped me to make the right choice. It was not an easy decision for me as I was already an established scientist in the field of experimental aquatic ecology and the change required me to return to school and to master a huge amount of work in order to become an expert in this new interdisciplinary field. Mary's warm spiritual support and encouragement were very important for me all along the way. Special thanks to my adviser John Carroll for his trust and belief in me, who from the very beginning and through the whole process gave me full freedom to choose a dissertation topic and to shape my work as I envisioned it. He also was open to accepting my ideas and to supporting the inclusion of some still controversial and challenging issues in my dissertation. Alongside all this flexibility, his insistent advice to place both Vladimir Vernadsky and his biosphere and noosphere theory at the heart of my work turned out to be entirely justified. I am thankful for his close cooperation in the final stages of editing the manuscript, which helped me to meet the pressing deadlines of the May 2010 graduation. v I am very grateful to my co-adviser Barry Rock whose broad erudition in science, history, culture, and other areas of human knowledge helped me to shape my wide- ranging, interdisciplinary research and to limit it to particular research questions. Barry was especially instrumental and creative in helping me to shape the content and structure of my dissertation. No matter how busy he was, he was always available and accessible for discussion and advice when I knocked on the door of his office. I am also grateful to have been a member of the Rock's group weekly "meetings of mind" that provided a warm and accepting community atmosphere. My thanks to Tom Kelly for his creative advice and discussions that helped me to shape my dissertation. His professional expertise and his wise and tactful suggestions and insights helped me significantly to keep focus and not to get lost in the multidimensional field of sustainability. I am grateful to Eberhard Mobius for being a hard scientist and simultaneously a highly spiritual and open-minded person, whose insights I highly appreciate. His unique multi- and interdisciplinary seminar that I took at the beginning of my doctoral studies provides students with an opportunity truly to gain experience of what an academic quest, ethics, research, and discussion on controversial issues are. I also learned a great deal from him about how to be an effective and creative teacher, and have integrated his Pocket Solar System into my own pedagogical practice that has already helped so many people to gain a cosmic perspective and link it with today's global problems. Many thanks to my colleague, collaborator and co-author in my previous scientific career, and my friend, Jim Haney, whose permanent support, encouragement, friendly advice and sense of humor have helped me along the way. vi My thanks also to many people at UNH and in particular at the Department of Natural Resources & the Environment who showed sincere interest in my research and helped me with advice and support in many ways. Many of them, like Mimi Becker, Tom Lee, Ted Howard, and Bill Mautz did not ration out their valuable time and often served as my informal advisers when specific questions on my doctoral work and/or concerns about my teaching arose; I acknowledge their time and help . Many thanks go to the instructors I was lucky enough to work with as a teaching assistant: Kim Babbitt, Andy Rosenberg, Tom Lee, and Bill Mautz; all of them are outstanding instructors and teaching excellence awardees, from whom I have learned a great deal in my own teaching. My gratitude also to my class instructors Barbara Houston, Bob Eckert, Bert Cohen, Ed O'Brien and others who served as role models for me, and from whom I have learned a lot. I am profoundly grateful to the UNH Graduate School for supporting this research with the 2005 and the 2007 Summer Fellowships for Teaching Assistants and the Dissertation Year Fellowship (AY 2008/2009) and to the Natural Resources and Earth System Science (NRESS) PhD Program for the NRESS Research Scholarship (2008). Also, many thanks to the R. Farrington Fund (Department of Natural Resources and the Environment), the UNH Graduate School, and the NRESS PhD Program for travel support that enabled me to present parts of this research at a number of international meetings that are listed in Table 3. Special thanks to Elizabeth Ransome Stine and Liza Minko for valuable comments and editing help.

  • Terrestrial Impact Structures Provide the Only Ground Truth Against Which Computational and Experimental Results Can Be Com­ Pared

    Terrestrial Impact Structures Provide the Only Ground Truth Against Which Computational and Experimental Results Can Be Com­ Pared

    Ann. Rev. Earth Planet. Sci. 1987. 15:245-70 Copyright([;; /987 by Annual Reviews Inc. All rights reserved TERRESTRIAL IMI!ACT STRUCTURES ··- Richard A. F. Grieve Geophysics Division, Geological Survey of Canada, Ottawa, Ontario KIA OY3, Canada INTRODUCTION Impact structures are the dominant landform on planets that have retained portions of their earliest crust. The present surface of the Earth, however, has comparatively few recognized impact structures. This is due to its relative youthfulness and the dynamic nature of the terrestrial geosphere, both of which serve to obscure and remove the impact record. Although not generally viewed as an important terrestrial (as opposed to planetary) geologic process, the role of impact in Earth evolution is now receiving mounting consideration. For example, large-scale impact events may hav~~ been responsible for such phenomena as the formation of the Earth's moon and certain mass extinctions in the biologic record. The importance of the terrestrial impact record is greater than the relatively small number of known structures would indicate. Impact is a highly transient, high-energy event. It is inherently difficult to study through experimentation because of the problem of scale. In addition, sophisticated finite-element code calculations of impact cratering are gen­ erally limited to relatively early-time phenomena as a result of high com­ putational costs. Terrestrial impact structures provide the only ground truth against which computational and experimental results can be com­ pared. These structures provide information on aspects of the third dimen­ sion, the pre- and postimpact distribution of target lithologies, and the nature of the lithologic and mineralogic changes produced by the passage of a shock wave.

    RESEARCH REPORt 2010—2012 MAX-PLANCK-INSTITUT FÜR WISSENSCHAFTSGESCHICHTE Max Planck Institute for the History of Science Cover: Aurora borealis paintings by William Crowder, National Geographic (1947). The International Geophysical Year (1957–8) transformed research on the aurora, one of nature’s most elusive and intensely beautiful phenomena. Aurorae became the center of interest for the big science of powerful rockets, complex satellites and large group efforts to understand the magnetic and charged particle environment of the earth. The auroral visoplot displayed here provided guidance for recording observations in a standardized form, translating the sublime aesthetics of pictorial depictions of aurorae into the mechanical aesthetics of numbers and symbols. Most of the portait photographs were taken by Skúli Sigurdsson RESEARCH REPORT 2010—2012 MAX-PLANCK-INSTITUT FÜR WISSENSCHAFTSGESCHICHTE Max Planck Institute for the History of Science Introduction The Max Planck Institute for the History of Science (MPIWG) is made up of three Departments, each administered by a Director, and several Independent Research Groups, each led for five years by an outstanding junior scholar. Since its foundation in 1994 the MPIWG has investigated fundamental questions of the history of knowl- edge from the Neolithic to the present. The focus has been on the history of the natu- ral sciences, but recent projects have also integrated the history of technology and the history of the human sciences into a more panoramic view of the history of knowl- edge. Of central interest is the emergence of basic categories of scientific thinking and practice as well as their transformation over time: examples include experiment, ob- servation, normalcy, space, evidence, biodiversity or force.
