Geological Society of America
The Geological Society of America (GSA) unites a diverse community of geoscientists in a common purpose to study the mysteries of our planet (and beyond) and share scientific findings. Members and friends around the world, from academia, government, and industry, participate in GSA meetings, publications, and programs at all career levels, to foster professional excellence. GSA values and supports inclusion through cooperative research, public dialogue on earth issues, science education, and the application of geoscience in the service of humankind.www.geosociety.org

Graham HancockGUEST
However, he was rut.
Graham HancockGUEST
In 1979, after spending half of his life as a geological pariah, Ratz was awarded the Penrose Medal of the Geological Society of America, which is the most prestigious award in the field of geology.
Graham HancockGUEST
He was 95 years old at the time.
Graham HancockGUEST
When he received the award, he said, all my enemies
Emily BerlantHOST
She came to caves through geology, earning her master's degree at the University of Kentucky, where she studied the Grand Canyon's Double Bopper Cave, the longest cave in the canyon, with 40 miles of mapped passages.
Emily BerlantHOST
Along the way she won a national award in karst studies from the Geological Society of America.
Emily BerlantHOST
Karst for the uninitiated, including myself, is what happens when water slowly dissolves rock over thousands of years and leaves behind some of the most extraordinary landscapes on earth.
Emily BerlantHOST
Though if it's in a cave is it under earth? Yes.

They showed vertical runnels.

Schock presented his findings at the annual meeting of the Geological Society of America in 1991.
speaker_2NARRATOR
And his conclusion was explosive.
speaker_2NARRATOR
If the erosion on the Sphinx enclosure walls was caused by rainfall, and if the amount of erosion was significantly greater than what four and a half thousand years of intermittent desert rain could produce, then the Sphinx must have been carved during a period of substantially higher precipitation.
John MasheyGUEST
When he came down, he found an eviscerated rat sitting there while somebody in a Hummer drove away.
John MasheyGUEST
That's not much, very fun, right? In the late 2000s, they did a strong effort to subvert the climate statements of science societies, the American Physical Society, American Chemical Society, the Geological Society of America.
John MasheyGUEST
the IOP Physics Society in the UK.
John MasheyGUEST
Those are the ones I know about that I had some hand in helping stop.
Gary MannersHOST
Instead he concluded that the deep fissures and rolling profiles on the Sphinx and the walls of its enclosure could only have been made by rain and running water, at a time much wetter than the last 5,000 years.
Gary MannersHOST
Schock and West presented the argument to the Geological Society of America's annual meeting in San Diego in October 1991.
Gary MannersHOST
Schock then dated the Sphinx to between 5,000 and 7,000 BCE.
Gary MannersHOST
And I'm trying to be conservative, he told the Los Angeles Times.
Veena SrinivasanHOST
He's also an EGO fellow.
Veena SrinivasanHOST
And the George Macy Distinguished Service Award from the Geological Society of America.
Veena SrinivasanHOST
Abhijit, welcome to the Water Data Podcast.
Veena SrinivasanHOST
Now to get started, of course, I will note that your work in groundwater is very, very broad, but we are going to do a deep dive into one specific area, which is the arsenic problem in West Bengal in particular, where you work.
SonnyHOST
He has quite a few videos on Earthcaching as well, and we'll link to some of those for you.
SonnyHOST
Now, there's a lot of information o- at the Geological Society of America, including virtual badge awards you can earn by finding and hiding Earthcaches.
SonnyHOST
And if you look at previous Podcacher shows, you'll find some great information there as well.
SonnyHOST
So you might wanna jot these down.

Within the last few years there has been a reawakening of interest in the New Madrid earthquakes as evidenced by the papers of Dr. W.J. McGee in the fourth volume of the Geological Society of America, Dr. G.C. Broadhead in the American Geologist in August 1902, and Professor E.M. Shepard in the January-February number of the Journal of Geology of the present year.
speaker_3NARRATOR
In Broadhead's paper are given abstracts of a considerable number of contemporaneous and other early publications on the earthquake phenomena, but the description by Audubon seems to have been overlooked.
speaker_3NARRATOR
As he was one of the few, quite possibly the only, scientists who was in the region at the time, his account is of interest.
Kathy BollingGUEST
Wow.
Kathy BollingGUEST
He is a fellow of the Geological Society of America.
Raleigh WolfordHOST
You know, Antarctica would be another cool place I'd like to go.
Kathy BollingGUEST
Yeah, it's definitely on my bucket list.
speaker_2NARRATOR
In fact, more right than he had first claimed, because it became clear that there had been not one flood, but many.
speaker_2NARRATOR
In nineteen seventy-nine, when Bretz was in his late nineties, the Geological Society of America awarded him the Penrose Medal, its highest honor.
speaker_2NARRATOR
It is said that when he heard the news, he remarked that all his enemies were dead, so he had no one left to gloat over.
speaker_2NARRATOR
The evidence had been in the rocks all along.
