The main objective of the discussions is to provide a broad introduction for a non- isotope geologist audience into modern methods of geochronology and isotope tracer studies and to gi've examples of their application to solve complex problems in stratigraphy, petrology, ore petrogenesis, and tectonics. The participants will be, for the most part, from the Geologic Division at the Survey, and consequently they have varying levels of understanding about isotope systems and their uses. The sessions will start with general talks on the general systematics of the isotope techniques to be illustrated that day. Note that the oral presentations are scheduled for 45 minutes and that 15 minutes are reserved for discussion after each talk. During the first day, we will discuss modern applications of precise U-Pb geochronology and common Pb isotope studies. The contributors will illustrate how these techniques have been applied to solve stratigraphic problems in the northern Appalachians, date high grade metamorphism and stromatolites, tracing sand dunes, study the hydrothermal stability of zircon, and to establish the crustal evolution of the central and southern Appalachians. The second day will start with an introduction into the Rb- Sr, Nd-Sm, and Re-Os dating techniques. Practical illustrations of the use of these systems will also be given, including examples of dating ductile deformation fabrics in New England, the application of Re-Os systematics for dating ultramafic rocks and to study the petrogenesis of these and associated ore deposits, and the use of Nd isotopes as tracers of continental lithosphere evolution. This session will end with a presentation on the isotopic provinciality in the mantle, on-craton and off- craton volcanism and implications for lithospheric growth in the western USA. The third day will begin with an introduction to Ar thermochronology and applications to stratigraphy, tectonics, and mineralization. Recent results of Ar studies on fluid inclusions from Battle Mountain (Nevada) will be reported, as well as dating of multiple events in the Bayan Obo deposit (China) and examples of Ar dating of ore deposits from the western United States, England, and Portugal. The rest of the day will be devoted to an introduction to U-Th disequilibria and dating of young rocks, a discussion of radiogenic isotopes in seawater and sedimentary systems, and to recent developments in dating ancient crustal fluid flow. Due to the number of non-USGS speakers and the length of the workshop, USGS contributors from Reston have prepared posters instead of oral presentations. The posters will be shown in the Exhibit Hall <just outside-of-the-Auditorium) and will be available for viewing Monday afternoon through Wednesday afternoon. The posters will illustrate some of the current projects in progress in Reston, including: the use of Pb-Nd-O isotopic data for terrane correlation in the northern Appalachians, Pb isotopic compositions of tin deposits, the combined use of paragenetic data and: Pb isotopic compositions in Ag-Au veins as exploration tools, Re-Os isotope systematics in shales, Ar geochronology in low grade rocks, Sr-Nd-Pb isotopic data and basement terranes in Alaska, Re-Os systematics in meteorites, Nd-Pb isotopic evolution and evidence for plume- lithosphere-asthenosphere interaction in the Midcontinent, a Re- Os isotopic study of a granite-molybdenum system, and a study of isotopic reference materials.

    1 THE STUDY OF SATURN'S RINGS 1610-1675, Thesis presented for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Field of History of Science by Albert Van Haden Department of History of Science and Technology Imperial College of Science and Teohnology University of London May, 1970 2 ABSTRACT Shortly after the publication of his Starry Messenger, Galileo observed the planet Saturn for the first time through a telescope. To his surprise he discovered that the planet does.not exhibit a single disc, as all other planets do, but rather a central disc flanked by two smaller ones. In the following years, Galileo found that Sa- turn sometimes also appears without these lateral discs, and at other times with handle-like appendages istead of round discs. These ap- pearances posed a great problem to scientists, and this problem was not solved until 1656, while the solution was not fully accepted until about 1670. This thesis traces the problem of Saturn, from its initial form- ulation, through the period of gathering information, to the final stage in which theories were proposed, ending with the acceptance of one of these theories: the ring-theory of Christiaan Huygens. Although the improvement of the telescope had great bearing on the problem of Saturn, and is dealt with to some extent, many other factors were in- volved in the solution of the problem. It was as much a perceptual problem as a technical problem of telescopes, and the mental processes that led Huygens to its solution were symptomatic of the state of science in the 1650's and would have been out of place and perhaps impossible before Descartes.

  • Lost Discoveries: the Ancient Roots of Modern Science--From The
    V COVER e Ancient .Roots oi JVLoaern ocience from the Babvl s to the May DICK TERES U.S. $27.00 Can. $41.00 Lost Discoveries, DickTeresi s innovative history of science, explores the unheralded scientific breakthroughs from peoples of the ancient world— Babylonians, Egyptians, Indians, Africans, New World and Oceanic tribes, among others—and the non-European medieval world. They left an enormous heritage in the fields of mathematics, astronomy, cosmology, physics, geology, chemistry, and technology. The mathematical foundation of Western science is a gift from the Indians, Chinese, Arabs, Babylonians, and Maya. The ancient Egyptians developed the concept of the lowest common denominator, and they developed a fraction table that modern scholars estimate required 28,000 calculations to compile. The Babylonians developed the first written math and used a place-value number system. Our numerals, 0 through 9, were invented in ancient India; the Indians also boasted geometry, trigonometry, and a kind of calculus. Planetary astronomy as well may have begun with the ancient Indians, who correctly identified the relative distances of the known planets from the sun, and knew the moon was nearer to the earth than the sun was. The Chinese observed, reported, dated, recorded, and inter­ preted eclipses between 1400 and 1200 B.C. Most of the names of our stars and constellations are Arabic. Arabs built the first observatories. Five thousand years ago, the Sumerians said the earth was circular. In the sixth century, a Hindu astronomer taught that the daily rotation of the earth on its axis provided the rising and setting of the sun.
