Geology, Palaeontology & Archaeology / Re: Why is Earth's mantle more complex than previously thought?

It couldn't have anything to do with the earth's magnetic field could it? I am very poor on my hard rock stuff so don't mock me.

The Environment / Can you advise me on changing my career to be a enviromental consultant?

Hi, finbar

There are many types of environmental consultants. In geology, my field, there are at least two types - those involved in water management,and those that do waste site and isolation studies for hazardous materials. I myself have done both. Aquifer studies for keeping water sources clean and evaluation of the regional geology of the nuclear waste site at Oak Ridge National Labs that my partner did the seismic studies on.

There are other types as well - meteorological, mine tailings control, physics of water turnover in lakes, evaluation of soil stability for buildings and houses - on and on.

Google "environmental consultant" you will people who do a lot of things. The thing they hav in common is that their studies are based on one core science and they usually stick with just that area of expertise. That is, unless it is a big company.



With a geology degree, it is then possible to go along an environmental route OR you can do environmental sciences at Uni... I'd go for the geology route like i did and then go on and do a Masters in environmental geoscience like i did. Mine wasnt 100% environmental as i took classes in palaeo as well but i did a fair bit on contaminated land studies, soil sampling - Spectrometry MS and AES etc... it was very interesting and there are lots of jobs coming about in this field now with the government getting all uppity about conservation. Not sure if that helps.

Like pick pockets, stale veggies from the neighbors garden, lie, cheat at every thing and other devious thing that you can think of?




How did you know that I did that. My next door neighbour is a self sufficiency nut. She always has a glut of things. She has lots of chickens, ducks, potatoes and greenhouses.
I never take mouldy veg. though, only the freshest for me. 

Thats shattered my illusions... i had you down as a Worzel Gummidge.

I'll join you in a bottle. I've finished in the loo. Was going for the two year record but got bored.

I hope you washed your hands.

Of course I did. What do you think I learnt at finishing school.


proper women things... like ironing, washing up, finding the slippers and newspaper?

General Science / Why is a woman's handrwriting usually better than a man's?
« on: 23/03/2008 12:59:39 »
I've always wondered this, and it annoys me too... when i mark kids work at school, even some year 7 girls have prettier writing than me. Its not fair.

Argentite. Right - lol - did the naming of that have anything to do with Argentina by any chance?

Thanks Frethack I'll definitely chase up that book recommendation.
