Contributions of Albert Einstein to Earth Sciences: A review in Commemoration of the World Year of Physics
Full text linkThe World Year of Physics (2005) is an international celebration to
commemorate the one hundredth anniversary of Einstein's "Annus Mirabilis". The
United Nations has officially declared 2005 the International Year of Physics.
However, the impact of Einstein's ideas was not restricted to physics. Among
numerous other disciplines, Einstein also made significant and specific
contributions to Earth Sciences. His geosciences-related letters, comments, and
scientific articles, are dispersed, not easily accesible and are poorly known.
The present review attempts to integrate them, as a tribute to Einstein in
commemoration of this centenary. These contributions can be classified into
three basic areas: geodynamics, geological (planetary) catastrophism and
fluvial geomorphology.Comment: 17 pages, no figures, to be published in Naturwissenschafte
