Speakers By Name
John J.W. Rogers, Ph.D.
In his book People and the Earth - Basic Issues in the Sustainability of Resources and Environment, co-authored with P. Geoffrey Feiss, John Rogers looks at environmental issues from a geologic standpoint. How do geologic restrictions limit our ability to withdraw food, water, energy, and minerals from the earth? What effect do our activities have on the planet?
Rogers, a distinguished professor of geology emeritus, has also charted the history of Earth's land masses- from Ur, which existed three billion years ago, to Arctica, Baltica, Atlantica, Nena, the supercontinents of Rodinia and Pangea, and Pangea's offspring, our modern-day continents. His paper on the subject was selected by Discover magazine as one of the top 100 science stories for 1996.
