Vanguards of History:Energy Changes Everything

摘要

The human race currently finds itself rounding the corner of an unprecedented turning point in history, and it's a direct consequence of what AAPG members do on a daily basis. That was the gist of the presentation Kirk Johnson delivered at the All-Convention Luncheon at AAPG's recent Annual Convention and Exhibition, titled "Evolution, Time, Tectonics, Asteroids, Climate and the Trajectory of Earth Science." As a 2007 AAPG Distinguished Lecturer, and as last year's winner of the AAPG Geosciences in the Media Award for a book he co-authored titled "Cruisin' the Fossil Freeway," Johnson likely is familiar to many AAPG members, even if they didn't attend the luncheon at ACE.
