But it's really great that people actually-- sort of regular people on the street are understanding a lot of this more often now. We do geophysical survey of some sort. What we have done on the site is called the magnetometer survey.
when you get machines and people this Amplified we become the most forcing function on nature which is why the new geophysical era is being named for us the anthropos so these four changes in power are what's reshaping the
implementation of that is this constant dance between um it takes millions of dollars to outfit a geological and geophysical surveying vessel and the fleet that's out there now therefore has an enormous amount invested in the current technology and the aays of air guns that are being used um so figuring
And so we were racing. And so I was a geophysical engineer, that was one of the big basic scientific principles was you don't go
And what he was talking about is this Democratic voting band here is what we in America call the Black Belt. And the reason it exists is because geophysically , that area-- Dartnell told you this-- geophysically , that area is where certain soil conditions exist that grow certain crops very well-- in particular, cotton.
And you see them in the middle here of the cleaning cycle and someone back off about 20 or 30 meters who is recording the data I would want to do seismic or other geophysical surveys and have some idea of the strata and what lies underneath my feet or underneath my wheels
out um the the the Bureau of um ocean Energy Management which part of the uh Department of the Interior um that directly regulates um geophysical exploration and then subsequent oil and gas development um Noah Works in very close partnership with um that Bureau um
And the proposed mission demonstrates in situ resource utilization. We always hold special sessions at major meetings like the American Geophysical Union.
Good. So a couple of people. The reason I ask is because nobody used to know what geophysical survey is. You guys have probably heard of it in science classes and things like this.
It's interesting. It was not a secret that the two superpowers were trying to build satellites to send into space. In fact, 1957 was something called the International Geophysical Year. And there had been some discussion among scientists internationally that they were going to try to build satellites.
OK, so what do we do next? Nowadays, we will do some geophysical survey. Has anybody in the room ever seen "Time Team?" Yeah.
I was there to rap about climate and capture its relevance, because people find it difficult. It's so political, fiscal, and geophysical . Agreement is pivotal. John Kerry's in a meeting, negotiating a treaty.
In 1958, Roger Revelle demonstrated that the oceans couldn't take care of it. He said, humans are now carrying out a massive geophysical experiment. In 1960, Charles Keeling did some measurements on Mauna Loa of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
intervals for about half of it. And it was, until very recently, the largest archaeological geophysical survey in the world. Colleagues of mine in Vienna who have many, many more toys and lots of people have just made one just a bit bigger.
this interesting and valuable enough to actually look at doing. So one of the other things that we do at NASA-- and because we can't see all of the detailed geophysical phenomenon from space just because we're so far away-- and it is interesting how it's changing all the time in terms of our capabilities.
And so NASA has historically had aircraft that focus on high altitude measurements. So that aircraft in the upper left, for example, is really a converted U-2 spy plane that we've converted to do geophysical measurements. We've had that since the early '70s.
But now that "Time Team" is out there and everybody can watch shows about archaeology, we have the tourists that come up to the edge, and they're very, very educated, and they say, excuse me, have you done your geophysical survey on this area yet? And, of course, yes, indeed we have.
So play this -- take this technology and play it forward with much greater capability. It's -- it's being replenished and the really interesting thing is what's the source of this methane? We know there's geophysical ways to create
