  • Large Igneous Provinces: a Driver of Global Environmental and Biotic Changes, Geophysical Monograph 255, First Edition
    2 Radiometric Constraints on the Timing, Tempo, and Effects of Large Igneous Province Emplacement Jennifer Kasbohm1, Blair Schoene1, and Seth Burgess2 ABSTRACT There is an apparent temporal correlation between large igneous province (LIP) emplacement and global envi- ronmental crises, including mass extinctions. Advances in the precision and accuracy of geochronology in the past decade have significantly improved estimates of the timing and duration of LIP emplacement, mass extinc- tion events, and global climate perturbations, and in general have supported a temporal link between them. In this chapter, we review available geochronology of LIPs and of global extinction or climate events. We begin with an overview of the methodological advances permitting improved precision and accuracy in LIP geochro- nology. We then review the characteristics and geochronology of 12 LIP/event couplets from the past 700 Ma of Earth history, comparing the relative timing of magmatism and global change, and assessing the chronologic support for LIPs playing a causal role in Earth’s climatic and biotic crises. We find that (1) improved geochronol- ogy in the last decade has shown that nearly all well-dated LIPs erupted in < 1 Ma, irrespective of tectonic set- ting; (2) for well-dated LIPs with correspondingly well-dated mass extinctions, the LIPs began several hundred ka prior to a relatively short duration extinction event; and (3) for LIPs with a convincing temporal connection to mass extinctions, there seems to be no single characteristic that makes a LIP deadly. Despite much progress, higher precision geochronology of both eruptive and intrusive LIP events and better chronologies from extinc- tion and climate proxy records will be required to further understand how these catastrophic volcanic events have changed the course of our planet’s surface evolution.

  • Enciclopedia Astronómica
    INTRODUCCIÓN El Universo, una realidad en continua evolución. Nuestra visión del Universo ha cambiado de aspecto durante el último cuarto de siglo. Hasta la década de los cincuenta, todo lo que sabíamos del espacio que nos rodea nos llegaba a través de la información contenida en la luz de los astros y, por lo tanto, sólo de las observaciones con telescopio. Asomándose a lo que los astrónomos llaman la ventana óptica de nuestra atmósfera, ese corredor a través del cual pasan las radiaciones visibles del espectro electromagnético, ya era posible observar un panorama gran- dioso y desconcertante. Un inmenso vacío en el cual, como islas en un océano sin límites, flotaban miríadas de galaxias contenien- do cada una miles de millones de estrellas. Nuestro Sol no es más que una de las innumerables estrellas situadas en la periferia de una de las muchas galaxias; y el cortejo de planetas que giran a su alrededor, granitos de polvo en el conjunto del Universo. Des- pués de la primera revolución astronómica llevada a cabo por COPÉRNICO, KEPLER, GALILEO y NEWTON, surge lo que algunos cientí- ficos señalan como la segunda revolución astronómica, con una nueva serie de inventos y descubrimientos, y que aún está en plena evolución. Con ella, el cuadro se ha modificado de manera profunda, definiendo contornos y detalles que pueden tildarse de apa- sionantes. Hoy parece haberse establecido el momento en que nació el Universo, una gigantesca explosión, pintorescamente deno- minada Big Bang, cuyo eco aún vibra en los espacios bajo la forma de una radiación fósil a 3 K.

  • Lunar Bases and Space Actmties of the 21St Century (1986)
    10 / SOCIETAL ISSUES STABLISHING A PERMANENTLY MANNED BASE on the Moon is, of necessity, a large and visible exercise of engineering and technology. Some Ewill see no more than that, but such a reductionist viewpoint misses the whole that is greater than the parts. A lunar settlement continues humanity's movement to accessible frontiers. It may start as a statement of national resolve or as a monument to international cooperation.It could be an heroic enterprise of epic dimensions or the stimulus for democratization of space through economic growth. One thing is clear-the Moon sits on the lip of the confining terrestrial gravity well and thus is the stepping stone to the solar system. The space program blends a curious mixture of romance and pragmatism. Goals are set by dreamers and implemented by realists. Many of yesterday's visions have been realized,but the awe-inspiring accomplishments rest on carefully executed, often mundane contributions from tens of thousands of people. The inspirational and the commonplace are both aspects of the human condition to be reflected in the space activities of the 2 1st Century, and both are discussed in the contributionshere. Any grand achievement by society must begin as an expression of the ordinary processes of decision making. Logsdon, an experienced observer of the space program, looks at the initiation of past endeavors for clues to the key elements of consensus. The debate over allocation of public resources revolves around the worth and expense of any program. Sellers and Keaton analyze historical space expenditures in terms of the gross national product of the U.S.and predict the availabilityof fbnding for major ventures over the next two decades.

  • Challenge to Apollo Pt 2
    5OO Withoutouerestimating the possible successes of the U.S._. in this sphere, we are extremely alarmed by the unfolding situation and believe that special and urgent mea- sures are necessary for maintaining the leading role of the USSR in space. _ gt the end of his letter, Korolev recommended four specific courses of action: I. Concentrate forces and resources on the primary and main goals: the urgent creation and work on the N I complex, terminate all work on [Chelomey's] LIR-500 theme, and use the released forces and resources on N I. 2. Accomplish in 1967 a circular orbit of the Moon with a crew on the upper stages of N i [that is, the N I I[ using the well-tested _ . , R-7 carrier for delivering the crews to orbit. 3. Ztccomplish in 1968 the first landing of Soviet researchers on the surface of the Moon with the aid of the N I complex. 4. Develop in the nearest future a complex plan o/work on the N l with measures of state importance, ensuring that it has primacy of fulfillment in this work in the agreed upon timeframe. _ Notwithstanding the fact that Korolev's proposal was partly motivated to retain his monopoly over the Soviet piloted space program, the letter also made a modicum of sense. It is clear evidence of Soviet, and in particular Korolev's, belief that what was needed was not two different projects, but a singular program to achieve several objectives. Thus, in mid-August 1965, the Soviet Union was poised to set forth on one of two approaches for piloted lunar exploration, one integrated and one fragmented.

    E HARVARD COLLEGE OBSERVATORY Cambridge, Massachusetts 02138 INTERIM REPORT NO. 2 on e NGR 22-007-194 LUNAR NOMENCLATURE Donald H. Menzel, Principal Investigator to c National Aeronautics and Space Administration Office of Scientific and Technical Information (Code US) Washington, D. C. 20546 17 August 1970 e This is the second of three reports to be submitted to NASA under Grant NGR 22-007-194, concerned with the assignment I of names to craters on the far-side of the Moon. As noted in the first report to NASA under the subject grant, the Working Group on Lunar Nomenclature (of Commission 17 of the International Astronomical Union, IAU) originally assigned the selected names to features on the far-side of the Moon in a . semi-alphabetic arrangement. This plan was criticized, however, by lunar cartographers as (1) unesthetic, and as (2) offering a practical danger of confusion between similar nearby names, par- ticularly in oral usage by those using the maps in lunar exploration. At its meeting in Paris on June 20 --et seq., the Working Group accepted the possible validity of the second criticism above and reassigned the names in a more or less random order, as preferred by the cartographers. They also deleted from the original list, submitted in the first report to NASA under the subject grant, several names that too closely resembled others for convenient oral usage. The Introduction to the attached booklet briefly reviews the solutions reached by the Working Group to this and several other remaining problems, including that of naming lunar features for living astronauts.
