RACE AGAINST TIME. “His 2015 paper was the last published before Warren’s death, but it did not mark the end of his writing. Over the next three years and into his final month, he worked toward an even broader synthesis that would represent a culmination of his career: “Toward a myth-free geodynamic history of Earth and its neighbors.” He knew this project was a race against time, but refused to take shortcuts in the painstaking work. Time won that race, just barely.” https://lnkd.in/dNVjJKA9 View in LinkedIn

EPIC HERETICAL GEOLOGY PAPER. “Toward a myth-free geodynamic history of Earth and its neighbors”, by Warren B. Hamilton, is truly a tour de force, a heretical, sweeping and important paper covering a lifetime of geological work. https://lnkd.in/d9NUnzUC View in LinkedIn

WARREN HAMILTON. “Warren B. Hamilton, PhD, Geology, is Distinguished Senior Scientist, Department of Geophysics, Colorado School of Mines. For 43 years he worked at the U.S. Geological Survey. He was an author in over 100 refereed articles from the 1950s to the present, and in 1989 he received the Penrose Medal, the Geological Society of America's highest award.” https://lnkd.in/d8kyQ4xj View in LinkedIn

ONE SAMPLED DATA SOURCE. “Testing, which I do not attempt, is desirable to confirm or reject that hypothesis. Purported Archean paleomagnetic data are so sparse in time and space, the dating of remnant magnetization so ambiguous and orientations so scattered, as to presently add little to the debate. There are, however, many hundreds of purported determinations of magnetic orientations of Proterozoic rocks.” https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0012825219302636?via=ihub View in LinkedIn

MAGNETIC SHIELDING AND CAMBRIAN EXPLOSION. “The Phanerozoic has been the era of plate tectonics. Lithosphere motions documented by paleomagnetism suggest Earth’s dipole magnetic field may have developed at ~600 Ma. The Cambrian explosion in which most modern phyla evolved may have required its shielding against radiation.” https://lnkd.in/d8AxQ-kU View in LinkedIn

ORIGIN OF MAGNETIC SHIELD. “Earth's internal strong dipolar magnetic field may have developed in its present form only about 600 m.y. ago after a long hiatus without such a field or with one that was much weaker or more complicated.” https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0012825219302636?via=ihub View in LinkedIn

FRAGMENT FROM NATURE features the work of the geologist, the late Professor Warren Hamilton, who undertook a new and radical explanation for the Cambrian explosion some 600 million years ago, in an attempt to overturn dogmatic ideas prevalent at the time. The Cambrian explosion has always lacked a convincing story and this may be a compelling part of it, combined with global flooding wiping the older fossil record clean. View in LinkedIn
