Geologists Quotes : pic 000011244
The enthusiasm geologists show for adding new words to their conversation is, if anything, exceeded by their affection for the old. They are not about to drop 'granite.' They say 'granodiorite' when they are in church and 'granite' the rest of the week.

Geologists Quotes : pic 000884605

Geologists Quotes : pic 000117877
Another day I walked out of town to do a bit of climbing in the mountains behind the airport. I scrambled up and down slopes that contained some of the oldest rocks in the world, isotope-dated at 3,800 billion years, remnants, so the geological rumor goes, of the earth's earliest terrestrial crust.
Geologists Quotes : pic 001349951
In the great debates of early-nineteenth century geology, catastrophists followed the stereotypical method of objective science-empirical literalism. They believed what they saw, interpolated nothing, and read the record of the rocks directly.
Geologists Quotes : pic 000928113
When I was a kid, I wanted to be a palaeontologist. I wanted to dig up dinosaurs.
Geologists Quotes : pic 000144273

Geologists Quotes : pic 000821064

Geologists Quotes : pic 001451138

Geologists Quotes : pic 001230868
I could have been a bomb-disposal expert, or a volunteer for the Mars mission, or a firefighter, or something safe and sensible. But no, I had to be an historian.
Geologists Quotes : pic 001022734

Geologists Quotes : pic 001796207

Geologists Quotes : pic 000422119

Geologists Quotes : pic 000855746

Geologists Quotes : pic 000873398
As a field archeologist, one usually has to specialize in a particular part of the world or specific culture, whereas if one is a materials specialist, one can jump around to different areas. So I've had experience on excavations all over the place.
Geologists Quotes : pic 001373169

an inspector of volcanoes.

and memorize the wind
and learn by heart the habits of
the ponderosa pine.

Geologists Quotes : pic 001069339
Mathematicians have a certain type of mind, and climbers have a certain type of mind, because climbing poses these incredibly interesting problems for them.
Geologists Quotes : pic 000447404
Everything I'm going to present to you was not in my textbooks when I went to school ... not even in my college textbooks. I'm a geophysicist, and [in] all my Earth science books when I was a student - I had to give the wrong answer to get an A.
Geologists Quotes : pic 001161409
Physical geography and geology are inseparable scientific twins.
Geologists Quotes : pic 000498125

Geologists Quotes : pic 000405683
[In natural history,] great discovery often requires a map to a hidden mine filled with gems then easily gathered by conventional tools, not a shiny new space-age machine for penetrating previously inaccessible worlds.
Geologists Quotes : pic 000580565
Archeology and ecology can go hand in hand.
Geologists Quotes : pic 001040856
A lot of people don't think much about what land surveyors do. In a nutshell, we are the interpreters and providers of landmarks and records that directly impact real property.
Geologists Quotes : pic 000846849
Scientists discover the world that exists; engineers create the world that never was.
Geologists Quotes : pic 001615542
Baeyer-a chemist who was more of an encyclopedist than a researcher.
Geologists Quotes : pic 001029416
In geology the effects to be explained have almost all occurred already, whereas in these other sciences effects actually taking place have to be explained.
