It is now 8 years since my last burst of blogging energy during a relaxing sojourn spent in Tuscany. In the meantime I have had occassion to return to one of the little problems that exercised much of my research while at UCL - the buckling of thin shells. But I will for the moment, spare details since they represent a fairly major break from the themes I have been developing in this blog.
ReplyDeleteSadly, having been inactive for so long, I have been unable to find out how to add new posts.
Hopefully that will be rectified in the next few days since I would like to report another little brush with the joys of peer review in relation to some work hinted at in an earlier posting.
This relates to the ideas being advanced in the posts of 2016 in which it was suggested that the ups and downs of the Earth's lithosphere over geological timescales might relate to the very long term cycles of climate (those having 10s to 100 million year periodicities). A study of the evidence on display in the Grand and Bryce Canyons provides some substance to these ideas. Also, by getting involved with some fascinating work looking at the lo g term climate cycles has brought me face on with one of the science problems currently exercising the globe - climate change and whether CO2 is the culprit requiring the current global effort to reach net zero carbon emissions.
