最新一期的增生楔,這個備受讚譽的地質部落格圈聚會,這次由地質學家伊芙琳·默文在她名為“Georneys”的部落格上主持,她正在詢問你是否“在意想不到的地方看到了地質現象?

這裡有一個有點病態的方式來回答這個問題 - 一塊地質學家的墓碑 - 正如在一份舊報紙(1856年出版)上看到的那樣,碑文上寫著

My name is David Bressan and I'm a freelance geologist working mainly in the Austroalpine crystalline rocks and the South Alpine Palaeozoic and Mesozoic cover-sediments in the Eastern Alps. I graduated with a project on Rock Glaciers dynamics and hydrology, this phase left a special interest for quaternary deposits and modern glacial environments. During my research on glaciers, studying old maps, photography and reports on the former extent of these features, I became interested in history, especially the development of geomorphologic and geological concepts by naturalists and geologists. Living in one of the key area for the history of geology, I combine field trips with the historic research done in these regions, accompanied by historic maps and depictions. I discuss broadly also general geological concepts, especially in glaciology, seismology, volcanology, palaeontology and the relationship of society and geology.
