CompuServe Thread

Hello everybody. Brand new Compuserver, I have been a geologist for some time. My home email compuserve address is given above, and you can also join me through Internet 'guillot@univ-lille1.fr'. My 7 main fields of research since 1973 are listed hereafter, in chronological order. Anybody interested by one or several of the subjects 1 to 7, please call. Everybody else, please read my 2 REQUESTS. 1>>geological mapping and maps (PhD, 1987) 2>>structural geology (PhD, 1987) 3>>concentric fold modelling (work on progress) 4>>Paleozoic basements in the Alps, esp.PK-Cambrian-Ordovician-Silurian in age (several papers, some in English ; work on progress), with : 4.1>>petrology, geochemistry, esp. for metamorphosed volcanics 4.2>>U-Pb dating of zircons, esp. on the same rocks as above 4.3>>tillites, esp. above the previous formations (Ordovician age?) 5.>>sedimentology, around the Permian-Triassic boundary (work on progress) 6.>>Archaean-Lower Proterozoic -Upper Proterozoic, W-African craton (work on progress) 7.>>How to realise stereoviews of geochemical diagrams (work on progress) 1st REQUEST. I have some trouble with a very old Lady, the "Societe geologique du Nord", based in Lille since 1860. Traditionally, our journal "Annales S.g.N." was devoted to paleontology and regional geology. Any other subject of geological interest, incuding teaching of the geology, and even physical geography or Science History, is welcome for publication in "Ann. S.g.N.". The Old Lady subscription (journal+membership) is cheap, only about $50 a year (4 issues). Any member of the S.g.N. has 10 free pages every year. That's great. During my first visit to the forum, I have been amazed by the vast number of paleontologists still alive, active and young in N-America (the species is threatened, near from extinction in France). Many of them ARE eager to send papers to the Old french Lady. She speaks english, of course. In Her Name, I thank you in advance. Let me know first, subject 'SgN'. 2nd REQUEST. Every 2nd-11th August since 1987, during the 'JOURNEES CULTURELLES DE PRALOGNAN-LA-VANOISE' (Savoie, France, el.4000ft-11887ft), I'd welcome some colleagues to speak with, to walk with, on the outcrops, in the Alps. Of course, the 'journees' are free (that's great), open to anyone of any age, and a good place to improve one's French language. Main subjects are: ethnobotanics, religious architecture, local civilization, geography, eating, local wines, Geology (that's me). The area has been thoroughly disinfected by the Alpine metamorphism, hence almost all fossils have left, and geological interpretation is perfectly free and easy. You certainly want to know more about this cheap, beautiful and peaceful holiday resort, so email me, subject 'JCP'.
