Links: Deep Time and Time

It being the start of a new year (the year 2010 to be precise), I have a few deep-time links for all you deep-time lovers (or would that be lovers of Deep Time?):

• The 2009 Geologic Time Scale: GSA



• No vestige of a beginning, no prospect of an end: Hindered Settling, Mar 2007



• The Geologic Time Scale is Mind Boggling: Edward de Leau, May 2007



• How the Discovery of Geologic Time Changed our View of the World: ScienceDaily, Sep 2007



• "We find no vestige of a beginning, no prospect of an end": Laelaps, Oct 2007



• Time: All The Rage, Feb 2008



• The times they are a-changin': Laelaps, Apr 2009



• Time Almost not Beyond Imagining: Recent Volcanism on the Colorado Plateau and Deep Time: Geotripper, Aug 2009



• Fading Into Insignificance: Mather Point, Grand Canyon National Park: Geotripper, Dec 2009 - this is a great use of photography and zoom lenses to create a sense of scale, which is then a metaphor for deep time, with the background being the Grand Canyon, a perfect example of deep time!
