Validation of the Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Assessment by the Taiwan Earthquake Model through Comparison with Strong Ground Motion Observations
Archibald Geikie: his influence on and support for the roles of female geologists
Abstract This chapter explores the interaction between Archibald Geikie and female geologists in their many different roles and within the social context of his life and time (1835–1924). The roles adopted by female geologists altered around 1875 when there was a change in the educational and legal background. Geikie’s attitude to female fieldwork and research publications changes through time too. His life is divided up into five different stages according to his ability to support and influence female geologists in their roles as researchers, lecturers, wife assistants and students. Case studies of both single and married women are explored looking at the influence and interaction they had with Archibald Geikie. They include Maria Ogilvie Gordon, Catherine Raisin, Annie Greenly, Gertrude Elles, Ethel Skeat and Ethel Wood. Geikie seems to have accepted most of the roles that women undertook and supported them wherever he could.
ABSTRACT Today, the United States Department of the Interior manages 500 million acres of surface land, about one-fifth of the land in the United States. Since enactment of the Antiquities Act in 1906, historic and scientific resources collected on public land have remained government property, held in trust for the people of the United States. As a result, the Department of the Interior manages nearly 204 million museum objects. Some of these objects are in federally managed repositories; others are in the repositories of partner institutions. The establishment of the United States as a nation corresponded with the development of paleontology as a science. For example, mastodon fossils discovered at or near present-day Big Bone Lick State Historic Site, Kentucky, found their way to notable scientists both in the United States and in Europe by the mid-eighteenth century and were instrumental in establishing the reality of extinction. Public land policies were often contentious, but generally they encouraged settlement and use, which resulted in the modern pattern of federal public lands. Continued investigation for fossils from public land filled the nation’s early museums, and those fossils became the centerpieces of many museum exhibitions. Case studies of the management of fossils found in Fossil Cycad National Monument, the John Day fossil beds, the Charles M. Russell National Wildlife Refuge and surrounding areas of public land, the American Falls Reservoir, and Grand Staircase–Escalante National Monument are outlined. These examples provide a sense of the scope of fossils on federal public land, highlight how their management can be a challenge, and show that public land is vital for continued scientific collection and research.

Second Galicia? Poland’s shale gas rush through historical lenses
Abstract Since the early 2000s, the exploitation of shale gas has radically modified the US energy scenario. In a number of European countries, the US boom has elicited questions about its repeatability in Europe. Among the staunchest supporters of the development of national shale-gas resources were Polish administrations, which grounded their activism in this domain in the language of energy security, autonomy vis-à-vis Russian gas, and in Poland’s old oil history. The history of hydrocarbon exploration in the country dates back to the mid-nineteenth century, and is connected to the oil boom that occurred in the region of Galicia. While the boom was over by World War I, promising estimations made in recent years by several agencies about Poland’s shale gas reserves have stirred hopes of a ‘second Galicia’. From 2007, the Polish government started assigning permits to both national and foreign gas companies. However, factors linked to legislation, geology and macroeconomics caused a premature end to hopes of Polish autonomy. After a reconstruction of the history of oil in Galicia and the constitution of the Polish oil and gas sector, this paper narrates the rise and fall of Poland’s ‘affair’ with shale gas.
Abstract The purpose of this paper is to frame selected episodes in the establishment and development of the modern oil and gas industry in the Northern Apennines (Emilia-Romagna region), Italy. The research spans between the political unification of the Italian peninsula into the Kingdom of Italy (1861), and the outbreak of World War I (1914). In the attempt to delve into the socio-economic scenario of those times, we look to contextualize and describe the work of the geologists and engineers who contributed to developing the early scientific knowledge of practical utility on the oil-bearing formations of the Northern Apennines. The history of the Emilia-Romagna oil industry was influenced and shaped by several episodes, and this paper discusses in particular two events that occurred during 1911. The first is an important and political act: the promulgation from the Italian authorities of the first regulation aimed at fostering the national oil industry, including the generous and criticized subsidies to support oil well drilling. The second is a technical–scientific landmark: the publication by Enrico Camerana and Bartolomeo Galdi (both engineers in the Royal Corps of Mines in Bologna) of the treatise I giacimenti petroleiferi dell’Emilia [ The Oilfields of the Emilia Region ], thanks to which Italian oil expertise made an important step forward. This seminal study on the state of the art of geological exploration of the oilfields of northern Italy represents the point of fracture between the empirical knowledge concerning oil and gas exploration and production and the development of the first national original research in the field of geosciences, to be fully developed in the decades to come.

Experiencing nature in militarized landscapes: If a bomb drops in the desert, do we still call it wilderness?
Abstract Military lands are among the last places most people would list as being pristine. Withdrawn for training and testing, they are tucked away from public exploration, and the results of this isolation have been unexpected: The U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) harbors more rare, threatened, and endangered species on its lands than any other landowner. Despite the vast acreage held in other public ownership, it is the combination of the “tragedy of the commons,” too little funding, and a multi-use mandate that have been the downfall of biodiversity on most non-DOD public lands. Simultaneously, private landowners permanently alter remaining lands at increasing rates. By these processes, the U.S. DOD is now in the position of being capstone stewards. Thus begins an exploration into the question: Does wilderness exist on military installations? In the United States, motorized vehicles are prohibited in federally designated wilderness. On military bases, there are areas where no vehicles may go, such as active air-ground impact areas. If a bomb falls where no tires tread, is it wilderness? The Korean demilitarized zone represents another example of the impact of human conflict and use, or nonuse. Here, the legacy of military actions has unexpectedly created an ecological refuge. Closer to home in the Mojave Desert of California, the juxtaposition of the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center and Joshua Tree National Park offers direct comparison between a landscape where people are prohibited and a landscape where people are encouraged. This paper is about the way in which we came to such an unexpected place by examining the trade-off between lands off-limits to civilians, and those where people are encouraged, with the benefits realized from keeping “out,” drawing on examples from the United States and abroad. The objective is to stimulate lively discussion without necessarily coming to a right/ wrong determination or judge whether or not credit is due.
The United States continues to grow; however, the amount of water withdrawn for water supply has remained constant since 1975. Much of the available water in the West is claimed by someone. In the humid East, stakeholders in various watersheds reach a consensus on how water is moved through the watershed; the needs of large new users are accommodated by negotiating a new consensus. Often these negotiations are contentious and difficult leaving an impression that water is unavailable. Even so, new water users are being supplied continually with water. New users get water through conservation, increased efficiency, or reuse by current users that extends the supply, or by acquiring water from current users. Water is continually being reapportioned—reallocated. With the creation of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in 1970, the country moved aggressively and with great success to eliminate point sources of pollution. As a consequence, both streams and groundwater have been cleaned up. Legislation has made the liability for pollution unacceptable to both individuals and firms and has effectively diminished current and future point sources of pollution. The more difficult problem of reducing non–point sources of pollution remains to be effectively addressed. There are large data gaps. While the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) provides five-year summaries of water withdrawals, there is no set of national data on water consumption. There is also no nationwide summary of water quality. The USGS samples water quality in 50 representative watersheds, but these data have not been aggregated to form a national summary of water quality—presumably the USGS is working to fill this data gap.
Geoscience has a long history of providing guidance and support for public policy that benefits government, society, and the health of the planet. An overview of government organizations and public laws that involve geoscience for the benefit of humankind is provided here in celebration of the Geological Society of America's 125th anniversary. With an expanding human population, increasing industrialization, and evolving weaponry and hostilities, it is essential for public policy to consider geoscience guidance related to natural resource exploration and development, hazard monitoring and mitigation, national security, space exploration and development, and human impacts to Earth's land, water, air, and life.
