Abstract
Virtually all of our knowledge of the Earth’s past history comes from observations, and interpretation of those observations changes as we develop better understanding of the processes that shape the planet.
Start by doing what’s necessary; then do what’s possible; and suddenly you are doing the impossible.
Francis of Assisi
