The author submits a chronological account on the history of geological exploration on the Graham Coast and the Wilhelm Archipelago of West Antarctica within the time interval from 1819 to 1996. The state of geological exploration of this area before the creation of the Ukrainian Antarctic Station (UAS) here is determined. A number of conclusions were made regarding: the temporal sequence of individual studies and the geological specifics of the territories covered by them; conditions for carrying out and features of the organization of field works; the reliability of the results of individual geological surveys; the presence of unexplored territories. It was found out that all reconnaissance and geological survey work in the study area was carried out in the 30–50s of the XXth century. Medium-scale geological surveys of individual parts of the Graham Coast and adjacent islands were carried out under unfavorable conditions. This led to the fragmentariness of the created geological maps and their heterogeneous support by field observations. Due to poor ice conditions and local features of the organization of geological routes, numerous bays on the Graham Coast, as well as its hard-to-reach inland territories, have remained completely unexplored. Also, many of the islands of the Wilhelm Archipelago were not covered by geological survey. In particular, there was no way to explore those islands that are remote from the navigable Lemaire Channel, Penola Strait and Grandidier Channel. The Argentine Islands are the only site where a large-scale geological survey has been carried out. But the available large-scale geological map of the Argentine Islands has a number of significant disadvantages. The map contains only petrographic data. There are no elements of bedding of rocks, tectonic deformations, zones of postmagmatic changes, manifestations of ore mineralization. The spatial distribution of the main petrographic representatives does not always correspond to the true one. The relative ages of individual geological bodies are insufficiently substantiated, and sometimes, in general, are determined incorrectly. All of the above-mentioned explains why the level of geological knowledge about the area at the time of the creation of the UAS here remained much worse than in the adjacent territories.

The Universe

The basic idea of inflation in cosmology is very simple: It is the assumption that the expansion factor R(t) of a Friedmann-Lemaltre cosmological model grows exponentially during a brief time interval in the very early universe. The phase of exponential growth is followed by a thermalizatlon stage and a subsequent “normal” evolution R(t)∼vt. This “Inflationary expansion“ can help to solve cosmological puzzles inherent in the standard model - such as the large-scale flatness, the horizon structure, the numerical value of the entropy in a comoving volume [for a review see Brandenberger 1985]. To turn this romantic idea of inflation into a quantitative model requires still a lot of work: The simple change in the thermal history of the universe must be derived from a fundamental particle theory. The models proposed so far do not inspire much confidence. In the following a few difficulties of the Higgs field idea, especially the Coleman-Weinberg formalism will be pointed out (section 1). In section 2 some problems connected with the investigation of initially strongly anisotropic or Inhomogeneous cosmological models will be mentioned.

The article is dedicated to the assessment and the recognition of the merits of V.V. Dokuchaev in different periods. We have divided the stages of the evaluation into three periods, the boundaries of which are taken by the memorable dates since the birth of Dokuchaev (100, 150, 175 years). The recognition of Dokuchaev's merits in each period took different forms and depended on the subject under assessment (what was assessed) and the evaluating subject (who made an assessment). The first period is based on the perception of his contemporaries. In the history of natural science, it is hardly possible to find any other scientist, whose works so seamlessly combined theoretical research with its practical application. Dokuchaev's scientific achievements were highly appreciated in Russia and abroad (gold medal of the International Geographical Congress in Paris, special gratitude from the Imperial Free Economic Society, full Makariev Prize of the Imperial Free Economic Society, full Makariev Prize of the Imperial St. Petersburg Academy of Sciences, Grand Prix of the World Exhibition in Paris and others). The high state recognition of Dokuchaev is evidenced by the presence of the orders of St. Stanislav and St. Anna. The second period of recognition is associated with the triumph of the scientist's ideas, which were almost completely realized in Russia: a network of research and educational institutions and experimental stations were created, large-scale soil research was carried out, a plan for the transformation of nature was implemented. During this period, events were organized that included: the installation of a monument and a memorial plaque in St. Petersburg, the establishment of a gold medal and an award named after V.V. Dokuchaev, the establishment of grants in universities, the creation of the Central Soil Museum named after V.V. Dokuchaev. The third period is rather a tribute to the scientific merits of the scientist. The highest award of the International Union of Soil Scientists is established (2002); a documentary film dedicated to the 165-th anniversary of the birth of the scientist is released; exhibitions are organized on memorable dates. As recognition of the merits in the creation of a scientific school of fundamental soil science, a scientific conference “Docuchaev conference for young scientists” is organized and held annually.

Precise U–Pb monazite and 40Ar/39Ar hornblende ages have been obtained from three locations in the high-grade Archean core of the Wind River Range, Wyoming. Monazites from metapelites in the Paradise Basin, Medina Mountain, and Crescent Lake have U–Pb ages of 2718 ± 1, 2633 ± 5, and 2657 ± 2 Ma, respectively. Hornblendes from amphibolites and granulites from the same locations yield plateau 40Ar/39Ar isotope ages of 2652 ± 11, 2572 ± 9, and 2527 ± 8 Ma, respectively, and are interpreted as cooling ages from the last thermal event. The three localities experienced similar peak pressure–temperature conditions. The timing of high-grade metamorphism in the Paradise Basin is older than the emplacement of large subjacent batholiths at 2.63–2.67 Ga. Calculated cooling rates based on monazite–hornblende pairs of 3.4 ± 1.0 °C/Ma for Paradise Basin, 3.8 ± 1.2 °C/Ma for Medina Mountain, and 1.7 ± 0.4 °C/Ma for Crescent Lake cannot be used to rule out reheating during subsequent pluton emplacement. The markedly slower cooling rate inferred for Crescent Lake may indicate early differential uplift or may demark another regional metamorphic event. The difference in 40Ar/39Ar ages between hornblende (2652 ± 11 Ma) and biotite (2637 ± 11 Ma) suggests a more rapid cooling rate, 11 °C/Ma, for Paradise Basin between 2.65 and 2.63 Ga, which may be related to the time of large-scale batholith emplacement elsewhere in the terrane. Combining new data with other ages in the Wind River Range reveals an extended metamorphic history, punctuated by thermal events over a time interval of at least 700 Ma.

Whereas the first success of petroleum exploration in France (the gas deposit in the Saint‐Marcet anticline in the Saint‐Gaudens region) was essentially based on geological surveys, the second (the gas and oil deposits in the Lacq anticline, near Pau) was the result of geophysical techniques. In fact, the Lacq anticline cannot be detected by surface geological survey, because of Tertiary and Quaternary covering.

AbstractOn the basis of a multidisciplinary approach we have unraveled the palaeo-earthquake history of a trenched section across the Peel Boundary Fault. The area shows at present one of the largest contrasts in relative motion on both sides of the fault on the basis of repeated levelling. The geological record for the last 25 thousand years, recovered in the trench, shows evidence of two heavy earthquakes (moment magnitude between 6.0 and 6.6), that occurred in a relatively short timespan around 15 thousands years ago. A third less severe event occurred somewhere in the mid Holocene. The time interval between the two large events is in the order of 1500 years, an interval comparable to that between the last volcanic explosions in the nearby Eifel area. Both records together seem to suggest a relation between large-scale faulting and volcanic activity in the nearby Eifel area, but this interpretation is based on one trench only and should be tested by opening more trenches in the zone that is assumed to be affected by these large events.

Introduction. For the first time the Epic of Jangar became known in scientific circles after B. Bergmann published a German account of The Song of the Battle between the Heroes of Jangar and Shara Gyurgyu the Terrible in the early 19th century. Since then, the Jangar had become known in the world as the Kalmyk heroic epic. After the publication of newly discovered songs of the Jangar at the beginning of the 20th century in Mongolia, it became known as a Mongolian epic. In the late 1970s, after publishing numerous songs of the Jangar in China, the epic became known as epic legacy of the Oirats of Russia, China and Mongolia. One of the scientific centers of China which has been actively searching for the Jangar texts for 41 years is Inner Mongolia University. From 1977 to 2018, teachers of the Mongolian Faculty undertook ten scientific expeditions to the Oirat-inhabited areas of Xinjiang. Goals. The article seeks to introduce the history and results of field expeditions to Xinjiang made during 41 years in order to record new songs of the Jangar epic. For the first time in the history of modern Mongolian studies, the paper describes the results of large-scale field works that have been carried out for four decades. During the first expedition in 1977 to Hoboksar, a University teacher Chojinjav managed to meet the prominent Oirat storyteller Yerempil and record six songs of the Jangar epic. In 1978, the expedition already consisted of three researchers and explored Bortala Mongol and Ili Kazakh autonomous prefectures. In those days, over 40 storytellers were identified and 60 songs of the epic were recorded. Each subsequent expedition brought its own results. One of the longest search expeditions took place in 1996, which lasted almost thirteen months and covered the Bortala Mongol, Ili Kazakh and Bayingolin autonomous prefectures, including Tarbagatai district. During that time, the University teacher D. Taya identified more than 40 storytellers and recorded 90 songs of the Jangar. Conclusion. Thus, for four decades, the University of Inner Mongolia was conducting systematic and systematic search works which gave tangible results — names of new talented storytellers-jangarchis were discovered, a huge layer of new and numerous versions of already known chapters of the Jangar were recorded but most importantly — scientific confirmation of the existence of a living epic tradition among the Oirats of Xinjiang was obtained.

While much has been written about the State's first two geological surveys in 1864 and 1865, much less information is available concerning the establishment of the current incarnation of the Geological Survey at the University of Kansas in 1889. This paper briefly traces the events leading to the Survey's recreation: legislative attempts at a survey in the 1880's, arguments made for and against a survey, and the circumstances leading to the Survey's placement at KU. The Kansas Academy of Science particularly was active in the battle for a survey, and appealed to State pride and practical benefits as reasons for a survey's creation. The Academy finally succeeded in 1889, probably in part because of a burgeoning minerals industry in the State. In addition, a change in the KU budget allowed the Legislature to establish the Survey at KU without appropriating additional funds for its operation. No appropriation was made for the Survey from 1889 to 1895, although some field work was undertaken. This paper also explores several reasons that the Survey was placed at KU rather than Kansas State College.

This article investigates the trajectory of the Grêmio Dramático, Recreativo e Literário Elite da Liberdade (the Liberdade Elite Guild of Drama, Recreation, and Literature), a black club active in São Paulo, Brazil, from 1919 to 1927. The aim is to reconstruct aspects of the club’s history in light of its educational discourse on civility, which was used as a strategy to promote modern virtues in the black milieu. By appropriating the precepts of civility, Elite da Liberdade helped construct a positive black identity, enabled the creation of bonds of solidarity among its members, and made itself a place of resistance and struggle for social inclusion, recognition, and citizens’ rights.
