Awards Committee: CHAIR’S REPORT GSA 2005 AND OTHER THOUGHTS First of all, I want to thank several people in HOGD who facilitated my work as Acting Chair for 2005. They include my predecessor, Ed Rogers, whose Topical Session, "Thinking About Fossils: The Emergence and Development of Paleontologic Thought in North America from Native American Customs to the End of the Great Western Surveys" was well received at Salt Lake City. Patrick Wyse Jackson and Steve Rowland did a fine job as co-chairs. In spite of a scheduling conflict with the Society of Vertebrate Paleontologists, Ed’s session not only had several excellent presentations but also was very well attended. I estimated over 100 in the audience at maximum, which held throughout most of the talks. In fact, the reaction was so positive, that I think the theme merits further development and presentation again at a GSA in the near future. Julie Newell ably co-chaired the HOGD open discipline session with me. This session, too, was well attended (maximum audience was 120% of the seating capacity of 60 chairs) and also attests to the substantial number of GSA attendees interested in the history of geology. Bill Brice, Michele Aldrich, Alan Leviton, Charlie Byers, and Sally Newcomb generously offered invaluable advice and assistance in a wide range of division matters. Charlie Byers volunteered to stay on as Past Chair for another year so that I did not have to take on the role of Past Chair, Acting Chair, and Incoming Chair all at the same time! John Diemer did a fine job as Chair of the Nominating Committee, and he is now joined by Yildirim Dilek and James Dawson, all of whom are open to nominations for the Division Chair rotation. Again, I thank all of the above for their help. Congratulations: Congratulations to Gerald Friedman who received the Mary C. Rabbitt Award for his fundamental contributions to the history of geology, including the development of our Division and also the History of Earth Sciences Society. Congratulations to Lee J. Florea (University of South Florida), our second "Student Award" winner who presented an excellent paper on "The Role of Communication in the Evolution of Thinking about Caves and Groundwater" with H.L. Vacher.

Florea Growth of HOGD The History of Geology Division is the 4th smallest division of GSA, with 355 members. Most of our active members are senior status, and many are not geologists. Many who present in our symposia are visitors, i.e. not division members. About half of the total GSA membership of 19,000 is not affiliated with any division and much of the Society’s growth is in student memberships. Because many of the members of our division are not geologists, HOGD ranks first among all GSA divisions in membership who cannot be reached via GSA email lists. Only 8% of GSA’s members reside outside North America (US and Canada) but the early development of our science took place beyond our continent, and we are diminished if we overlook contemporary developments of significance beyond our borders. These demographics present special challenges and opportunities to our division, which is arguably the most important division of GSA. We are cross disciplinary and cross continental, with our affiliate, the History of Earth Sciences Society being headed by Martin Rudwick in Britain, and its journal, Earth Sciences History, being edited by Patrick Wyse Jackson in Ireland. Our division provides the forum for the world-wide history of our historical science. The question which deserves ongoing consideration and action is, how much growth do we want, and how do we set about achieving it? Some steps are being taken to improve communication and thereby to increase membership. Julie Newell and Hugh Rance have volunteered to update the HOGD website. Our "student award" has raised our profile among students and our first two awardees have delivered standard-setting presentations. Charlie Byers is revising the description of the award so that it will be more suitable for distribution among non scientists as well as geologists. There is a large pool of potential interest in the history of geology outside of the science and colleagues outside the science have made important contributions to understanding our history, so it is logical to encourage their membership. We also plan to take further advantage of GSA email services to publicize our activities to a wider audience. I believe our Student and Friends Reception is a successful tradition. The beer, food, and prizes are hooks to get people to come, and they worked. We had approximately 80–100 people at the reception this year, and I believe we made friends for the Division. This year we had the reception on Tuesday night, one night later than usual. Although we lost out on people who left the convention Tuesday, this was the night after alumni receptions, and so we gained others who otherwise would not have showed. Our Financial Condition The Division traditionally has funded its operations from dues and periodic contributions from the membership. Some of the larger divisions are proposing that GSA return abstract submission fees to the divisions in which the abstract is delivered. Jack Hess, President of GSA, has said that this may be feasible but that it would require compensating cutbacks in other (unspecified) GSA services. We need to be aware of these developments. The generous Mary Rabbitt Bequest of more than $100,000 has improved the financial condition of our Division considerably. However, it is essential that we decide as a Division what the priorities should be for spending this money. Accordingly, I have appointed an ad hoc committee consisting of Bill Brice, Bob Dott, and Bob Ginsburg to develop long range planning ideas for the bequest. I have asked that they prepare at least a preliminary report by mid January so I can develop our 2006 convention activities using it as a guideline. (See below for a full financial report for fiscal 2004–2005. Eds.) Our History We are at risk of losing our history of presentations at GSA. Some topical sessions in particular deserve to have presentations bound together for all time. Thus, I have asked the ad hoc Mary Rabbitt Bequest Committee to consider providing money for publication of proceedings as per the very successful Paleontological Society’s Short Course publications. An alternative is publication as a special issue of Earth Sciences History. In either event, I strongly feel that the Division should develop its own publishing imprimatur.

Report on INHIGEO Meeting in Prague Under the able leadership of Jan T. Kozák and his helpers from the Geophysical Institute and the Czech Geological Survey, forty-two participants from seventeen countries, plus a small and talented group of spouses, were informed, educated, and generally charmed by the geology, history, and culture of the Czech Republic. We were fortunate to have informed guides to a good bit of Bohemia and Moravia. The trip during the first weekend was in West and North Bohemia where we saw the brown coal mining in the Tertiary basins of the Ohre River rift zone and its ecological impact, the famous spas and hydrogeology of West Bohemia, and the Tertiary and Quaternary volcanism of the region. At one of the best known spas in the world, Karlovy Vary (Carlsbad), we met the chief hydrogeologist and were taken on a ‘behind the scenes’ tour, liberally sampling the spa waters with special spa cups. Verdict: not bad, and maybe healthy. The town is truly beautiful with much history over a period of six hundred years. We only drove through Marianbad, but the next day had lunch and a walk at the third spa, Frantiskovy Lázne, which is particularly concerned with women’s health. One water sample tasted there was most unpleasant, but may have been the healthiest of all. We had spent the night in the hotel at the Norbertine Abbey at Teplá, where we were also shown the magnificent library. On the second day we also went to the national nature reserve of Soos, where mineral water springs and mud volcanoes are abundant. On Monday and Tuesday we were in Prague at the Geophysical Institute, where many participants gave papers on the histories of geophysics, and earthquakes. This was followed by a celebratory dinner in central Prague. We were learning that Czech cuisine is delicious, especially when accompanied by one of the locally brewed beers. The next day we had a full day field trip to the Bohemian massif, a relic of the Hercynian orogenic belt in Europe, and an overview of the geology of the region. The trip included a visit to a museum in Trebenice in the Bohemian garnet region. Everyone had noticed the beautiful garnet jewelry for sale in Prague. We were now close to the source. Quite a few participants or their significant others now have lovely garnet necklaces as a reminder of the country. We visited the Barrandian rocks the next day. They are near to Prague and were the site of significant if disputed discoveries in paleontology. The bus left us off at the Castle in Prague where many of us explored the Castle and the incredible library. On Friday we went to the medieval mining center of Kutná Hora, much of which is a UNESCO world heritage site. Silver was mined there from the 13th century to the 19th century. There is much of interest in the town including the church of St. Barbara, the patron saint of miners, with frescos and statuary depicting mining activities. Many of the churches in the Czech Republic date from the 12th to the 18th centuries. We were also welcomed at the local branch of the Czech Geological Survey to view a wonderful group of old maps, mostly related to the mining areas and operations. The three day field trip to Moravia included a visit to Mendel’s monastery in Brno, a tour through a magnificent limestone cave by foot and by boat on an underground river, much evidence of karst topography, a museum of Neolithic artifacts, and a two-night stay in Valtice at the Duke of Liechtenstein’s summer palace, which we all thoroughly enjoyed. The INHIGEO business meeting was held Sunday morning, followed by a presentation on Czech and Central European geological maps, and a film about the remarkable New Zealand geologist Harold Wellman, who first recognized the Alpine Fault in the country’s South Island as a transcurrent fault, and later slotted that movement into the understanding of plate movements in the area. One of the participants, Simon Nathan, has recently published a fine biography of Wellman, and another, Rodney Grapes, figured in the film (looking younger than today!), while a third, Michael Johnston, had been one of Wellman’s PhD students. Our last formal banquet of the meeting was held in the palace’s wine cellar there. By the time we’d all sampled five Moravian wines, eaten good food, and listened to an excellent folk music ensemble, many of our group danced, the two left feet of some participants (especially yours truly) notwithstanding. We had one final field trip day to the Prague basin, and which included a view of the GSSP, for the Silurian and Devonian boundary. Next year’s INHIGEO meeting will be held in Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia. Report submitted by Sally Newcomb [TOC] MEETINGS OF INTEREST AND CALLS FOR PAPERS History of the Evolution of Geological Thinking about the
Appalachians We invite your participation in a session to explore the evolution of our understanding of Appalachian geology in such topics as geomorphology, structural geology and tectonics, stratigraphy, paleontology, petrology, and mapping. Although the rocks have changed very little in the last two hundred years, there have been major changes in the interpretation of those rocks by geologists involved in Appalachian studies. These changes have come in both the theories applied and in the methods of collecting and analyzing data. An example of a contribution to the session might be exploration of the application of successive techniques or ideas to the same question, and how it changed understanding of the problem. There was much work that was, and is still, synergistic, in that advances in one area can lead to reinterpretation of data from another discipline. A paper tracing such connections would be another interesting topic to explore. Notable geologists, some of whom are still working, have contributed to Appalachian studies. We welcome retrospectives of their careers and the ideas they espoused, which may have changed over their working lives. The Appalachians were a proving ground for vital institutions such as the Pennsylvania Geological Survey. Papers on the history of those institutions and their role, as well as the roles played by local politics and funding, are other possibilities. We encourage student participation at both undergraduate and graduate levels by way of the history of ideas they are exploring for a thesis or senior project. Session organizers: Sally Newcomb senewcomb@earthlink.net, and William Brice wbrice@pitt.edu. Fossils of Ohio: A Century After Newberry Historical papers (as well as paleontological papers) will be considered for a North-Central GSA regional meeting theme session on Fossils of Ohio: A Century After Newberry. For example, papers could examine work on Ohio fossils by John Strong Newberry, his successors and predecessors, or paleontologic projects done by the Ohio state survey or various universities and museums. Abstract deadline: January 25, 2006. Informal discussion with the session organizer before the deadline is welcome; contact Professor Lisa Park lepark@uakron.edu, (330) 972-7633. The Oil and Gas Legacy of the Mid-Continent: An

Charles Darwin, Geologist. 512 pp., 17 maps, 33 half-tones, 8 pgs. color. On Darwin’s return to England, it was his geological findings that first excited scientific and public opinion. Geologists, including Darwin’s former teachers, proved a receptive audience, the British government sponsored publication of his research, and the general public welcomed his discoveries about the earth’s crust. Because of ill health, Darwin’s years as a geological traveler ended much too soon: his last major geological fieldwork took place in Wales when he was only thirty-three. However, the experience had been transformative: the methods and hypotheses of Victorian-age geology, Herbert suggests, profoundly shaped Darwin’s mind and his scientific methods as he worked toward a full-blown understanding of evolution and natural selection. Cornell University Press, Ithaca, New York. ISBN 0-8014-4348-2. $39.95; cloth. Rudwick, Martin J.S. 2005. Bursting the Limits of Time: The Reconstruction of Geohistory in the Age of Revolution. 840 pp., 145 halftones. The belief in a six-thousand-year-old planet was only laid to rest during a revolution of discovery in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. In this period, geologists reconstructed the immensely long history of the earth—and the relatively recent arrival of human life. Bursting the Limits of Time sketches this historicization of the natural world in the age of revolution. Martin Rudwick examines the ideas and practices of earth scientists throughout the Western world to show how the story of "deep time" was pieced together. He explores who was responsible for the discovery of the earth’s history, refutes the concept of a rift between science and religion in dating the earth, and details how the study of the history of the earth defined a new branch of science called geology. Rooting his analysis in a detailed study of primary sources, Rudwick emphasizes the lasting importance of field- and museum-based research of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. University of Chicago Press. ISBN 0-226-73111-1. $45. Rozwadowski, Helen M. 2005. Fathoming the Ocean (304 pp., 40 halftones) chronicles the birth of deep-sea oceanography, from early observations by Benjamin Franklin to the voyage of HMS Challenger in the 1870s. She tells the story of how sailors and scientists combined to carry out the first explorations of the ocean depths, showing how these actors and events revolutionized understanding of a hitherto unknown region. Belknap, Harvard University Press. ISBN 0-674-01691-2. $25.95 (cloth). Darcy, Henry. 1856. The Public Fountains of the City of Dejon. Translation by Patricia Bobeck, 2005. Geomatrix, Kendall/Hunt Publ. Co. 647 pp. The public fountains of the City of Dijon by Henry Darcy, has been translated from French to English. This book is Darcy’s account of the water supply system he built in Dijon, France in 1840. The translation contains 28 plates of Darcy’s engineering drawings that were originally published as a companion volume to the 647-page text. (To order: Kendall/Hunt Publ. Co.
