Howdy everyone! We've got yet ANOTHER sed/paleo/strat/beer meeting (seriously...we need a better name, and one NOT affiliated with the hairy foulness of Robin Williams, please) coming on up here. Ben has generously offered his home up for our raucousness, so big round of applause there. Keep an eye on the email for instructions.
Anyway, the papers up for consideration this week are sort "philosophical" in nature (SEE WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DON'T SUGGEST PAPERS!?!?), mostly around the theme of uniformitarianism in geology. As always, if problems persist in getting these papers, lemme know and I'll email em to you:

Cycles, Climate, and Milankovitch - Papers for Feb 15th, 2010
We've got some awesome climate-flavored cycle papers for consideration this time around. Dr. Noel Heim, PhD, has suggested a completely amazing paper on synthetic stratigraphy and Milankovitch cycles, and we've got some counterpoints to consider as well. The papers are below, and as always, feel free to email me if you have trouble nabbing them of the site.
Enjoy!
