Dr. Eliza Calder Beginning her term at the University this spring (2006) as Assistant Professor of Geology, Dr. Calder brings a continuum of expertise in the areas of Physical Volcanology and Hazards Research. Dr. Calder received her BSc in Geology from the University of Bristol, UK (1993), and her Ph.D. from the University of Bristol, UK (1999). Positions held prior to her appointment with the University at Buffalo include a Royal Society funded Research Fellowship at the Open University, UK (2002-2005) and a Visiting Research Fellowship at the Hawaii Institute of Geophysics and Planetology, University of Hawaii. With recent publications in Geophysical Research Letters and the Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research, Dr. Calder’s research interests Dr. Eliza Shona Calder, Assistant Professor include understanding the transport mechanisms of geophysical mass flows, especially pyroclastic density currents, as well as the monitoring of active volcanic processes. Much of her work has been based on studies made during the ongoing eruption of Soufrière Hills Volcano, Montserrat.

  • Last and First Men
    LAST AND FIRST MEN A STORY OF THE NEAR AND FAR FUTURE by W. Olaf Stapledon Project Gutenburg PREFACE THIS is a work of fiction. I have tried to invent a story which may seem a possible, or at least not wholly impossible, account of the future of man; and I have tried to make that story relevant to the change that is taking place today in man's outlook. To romance of the future may seem to be indulgence in ungoverned speculation for the sake of the marvellous. Yet controlled imagination in this sphere can be a very valuable exercise for minds bewildered about the present and its potentialities. Today we should welcome, and even study, every serious attempt to envisage the future of our race; not merely in order to grasp the very diverse and often tragic possibilities that confront us, but also that we may familiarize ourselves with the certainty that many of our most cherished ideals would seem puerile to more developed minds. To romance of the far future, then, is to attempt to see the human race in its cosmic setting, and to mould our hearts to entertain new values. But if such imaginative construction of possible futures is to be at all potent, our imagination must be strictly disciplined. We must endeavour not to go beyond the bounds of possibility set by the particular state of culture within which we live. The merely fantastic has only minor power. Not that we should seek actually to prophesy what will as a matter of fact occur; for in our present state such prophecy is certainly futile, save in the simplest matters.

The figure of the “metahuman,” the human with superpowers and purpose, embodies the transfigured nerd whose defects—intellect, swarm-behavior, abnormality, flux, and love of machines—become virtues of survival in the twenty-first century. The conflict among capitalism, fascism, and communism, which drove the Cold War and its immediate aftermath, also drove the Golden and Silver Ages of Comics. In the era of planetary emergency, these forces reconfigure themselves as different versions of world-destruction. The metahuman also signifies going “beyond” these economic and political systems into orders that preserve democracy without destroying the biosphere. Therefore, the styles of metahuman figuration represent an appeal to tradition and a technique of transformation. I call these strategies the iconic style and metamorphic style. The iconic style, more typical of DC Comics, makes the hero an icon of virtue, and metahuman powers manifest as visible signs: the “S” of Superman, the tiara and golden lasso of Wonder Woman.

  • East-African Rift System Geological Settings of Geothermal Resources and Their Prospects
    Presented at Short Course III on Exploration for Geothermal Resources, organized by UNU-GTP and KenGen, at Lake Naivasha, Kenya, October 24 - November 17, 2008. GEOTHERMAL TRAINING PROGRAMME Kenya Electricity Generating Co., Ltd. EAST-AFRICAN RIFT SYSTEM GEOLOGICAL SETTINGS OF GEOTHERMAL RESOURCES AND THEIR PROSPECTS Kristján Saemundsson ISOR – Iceland GeoSurvey Grensásvegur 9 108 Reykjavík ICELAND [email protected] 1. INTRODUCTION The geothermal areas of the East-African Rift System are not all of the same type. Even though related to the Rift the geological settings are different. Some are volcanic, others are not. Parts of the rift zones are highly volcanic but large segments of them are sediment or lake filled grabens. Extreme cases are also found where rift-related fractures produce permeability in basement rocks. In retrospect it may be useful to point out the differences and likely resource characteristics. Below seven types are described, and in which countries they occur as the dominant type. Three of those types are genuine high-temperature geothermal resources. Two may be accessible only in the off flow zone of high-temperature geothermal fields. One is of the sedimentary basin type resource of low to medium temperature, and one other of the low-temperature type is related to fractured basement rock. 2.

    NATIONAL HISTORIC LANDMARKS Dr. Harry A. Butowsky GEOLOGY THEME STUDY Page 1 Geology National Historic Landmark Theme Study (Draft 1990) Introduction by Dr. Harry A. Butowsky Historian, History Division National Park Service, Washington, DC The Geology National Historic Landmark Theme Study represents the second phase of the National Park Service's thematic study of the history of American science. Phase one of this study, Astronomy and Astrophysics: A National Historic Landmark Theme Study was completed in l989. Subsequent phases of the science theme study will include the disciplines of biology, chemistry, mathematics, physics and other related sciences. The Science Theme Study is being completed by the National Historic Landmarks Survey of the National Park Service in compliance with the requirements of the Historic Sites Act of l935. The Historic Sites Act established "a national policy to preserve for public use historic sites, buildings and objects of national significance for the inspiration and benefit of the American people." Under the terms of the Act, the service is required to survey, study, protect, preserve, maintain, or operate nationally significant historic buildings, sites & objects. The National Historic Landmarks Survey of the National Park Service is charged with the responsibility of identifying America's nationally significant historic property. The survey meets this obligation through a comprehensive process involving thematic study of the facets of American History. In recent years, the survey has completed National Historic Landmark theme studies on topics as diverse as the American space program, World War II in the Pacific, the US Constitution, recreation in the United States and architecture in the National Parks.

  • Tectonics, Volcanology and Geothermal Activity
    Presented at Short Course II on Surface Exploration for Geothermal Resources, organized by UNU-GTP and KenGen, at Lake Naivasha, Kenya, 2-17 November, 2007. GEOTHERMAL TRAINING PROGRAMME Kenya Electricity Generating Co., Ltd. STRUCTURAL GEOLOGY – TECTONICS, VOLCANOLOGY AND GEOTHERMAL ACTIVITY Kristján Saemundsson ISOR – Iceland GeoSurvey Grensásvegur 9 108 Reykjavík ICELAND [email protected] ABSTRACT Discussion will concentrate on rift zone geothermal systems, continental and oceanic, with side look on the hotspot environment. “Volcanology” is contained in the title of this summary/lecture because the discussion will be limited to high- temperature geothermal systems which might as well be called volcanic geothermal systems. The volcanic systems concept is introduced as “a system including the plumbing, intrusions and other expressions of volcanism as well as the volcanic edifice” (Walker 1993). Hotspot is referred to because gross differences in magma supply rate are related to position of volcanic systems on the hotspot and hence may determine the life and power of the geothermal system. 1. INTRODUCTION The intrusive part of a volcanic system is most important as a potential heat source for high- temperature geothermal systems. (Figure 1) The intrusions form a dense complex at a few km depth. They maintain and drive geothermal circulation. Underneath a volcanic centre they include dykes and sheets which are relatively shallow. With increasing distance from them dykes become dominant. Concentration of dykes and clustering of volcanic eruptions may occur away from the centre and a geothermal system may develop. How and why do the intrusions form at preferred levels? Walker´s (1989) ideas about the significance of neutral buoyancy in distributing incoming magma between magma chamber, rift zones, intrusions and surface flow are discussed.
