I don't know much about magnetic shifts and climate but there have been
many papers on orbital variations influencing climate.  The time scale
for these climate changes is in the 10-100 thousand year range.  Another
topic is the convergence and dispersion of the continents affecting climate.
For this model the time scale is 30 and 300 M.Y.  Alfred G. Fischer has
done a number of works in this area.  I will give you a reference that is
a good overview of both of these models.

Fischer, A.G. (1981). Climatic Oscillations in the Biosphere.  In: M.H.
Nitecki, Ed.  Biotic Crises in Ecological and Evolutionary Time.  Academic
Press, New York.

The book is composed of many papers dealing with extinctions and related
causes.  I don't have the book here with me or I would give you more info.
I'm taking a cyclostratigraphy course and I have a stack of journal articles
on the subject as well.

I'm new to the group and the thread.  Is the reason for the current discussion
on magnetic shifts and ice ages because there is any evidence that these things
are about to occur?

Marcus,

A software package you may want to try is called Tralaine.  It
converts data files from just about any coordinate system you can dish
out to another.  Includes conversions between Lat/Lon, UTM's and State
Planes and supports file types such as DXF, MBI, BNA, GXF among
others.

The package is fairly user friendly.  For more info:

Mentor Software, Inc.

Last I heard, cost was $250.  Hope this helps.

Cheers.

Hello!
I recently posed my question to sci.archaeology and was told to try over
here...  I'm taking an arch. class right now and have learned that there
is a strong correlation between glaciation/ice ages and evolution in
general.  During the string which followed my question on sci.arch., i
also caught that there is a possible correlation between magnetic shifts
and the climate. 
My questions are: Is there any established correlation between these
three phenomena? Where can i find charts, etc. showing the magnetic
shifts, going back, say 100 m.y.?  How long do these shifts take,
individually?  What exactly do they do to the geology?  Does it affect
all rocks the same?  If this is too silly to post back onto the bulletin
board, then i would love e-mail!!  And if these questions are too basic
for the time explanations will necessitate, then any reference/research
tips would be deeply appreciated!
Thanks!

						HYDROGEOLOGIC SENSITIVITY MODELS:IS THERE ANY VERIFICATON?



Having recently attended a field seminar on Hydrogeologic Sensitivity
Models (HSM) it has occurred to me that there is a profusion of models and
very little verification.  Here at Winona State University we have been
doing research into the applications of HSMs and have run into a wall
concerning the verification of these models.  I are aware of some early
work that was done on the DRASTIC model, but have been unable to find
verification studies on other more recent models.  If you are aware of work
in this area please let me know, and if you are doing work in this area
yourself perhaps we could correspond about recent trends in the field.

A Mr. David Youmams who lives in the great state of Indiana believes
there is a correlation between magnetic shifts, the earths climate and
EARTHQUAKES.  Mr. Youmams is sending me a paper on the subject.  The
paper will be typed and posted to these two newsgroups.

Mr. Youmams paper may answer some of your questions.  Look for it in a

What you are really after is a GIS (Geographic Information System). An 
economical raster oriented one that runs on PC's is Idrisi - from some 
north american uni - Clark, I think.  We are just getting started with 
Grass, which is public domain and therefore free, but needs a unix
graphics workstation with a minimum disk of about 200 MB!.  When I can 
track down the contact for Idrisi I will post it.

Most Australian geology depts have strength in this area, because 
of the minerals industry which dominates the field here.  I suggest 
that you try UWA, MacQuarrie (sp?) Uni Melbourne, or, (best of all?)
Monash Uni - here at Monash the relevant staff members are 

Prof Gordon Lister, Drs Nick Oliver, Ian Cartwright, Rick Valenta, Dave Gray
in particular.  By the way, Australian Uni's do not run a 
"program" in the North American sense - if you enrol as a PhD 
student straight off, you are NOT required to do any course 
work, though through VIEPS courses are available at Melbourne 
and Monash, which are mostly for Hons/MSc students.  

Good Luck

Dear Fellow Netters:

I am desperately trying to locate some soil profiles (quantity does
not matter) of Iraq soil.  If you can help or know someone who might
possibly have any of this information, please reply to:
	jdowning@nmsu.edu.

Thank You,

Joe

I'm sorry but just because a few hurricanes make land and cause damage
does not mean that we have had an increase in hurricane activity.
If you spent time watching the tropics everyday you would see a number
of hurricanes on the same GOES shot. There's nothing new here.
Year after year its the same. Occasionally some make landfall in
the US and everyone thinks my lord something must be changing in the
atmosphere. What you fail to realize is that hurricanes make landfall
around the world all the time...but its only really big news on CNN if
the US is being hit. Which is understandable, but please don't equate that
with some great departure in the earth-atmosphere system.
