Near-Time Digital Mapping for Geoforensic Searches by Benjamin Rocke, Alastair Ruffell

“…In contrast, stable ground conditions may have suitable legacy maps in some locations but not in others, such as where surveying is absent, incomplete or subject to legal restrictions. The geologist tasked with mapping may have to do this on short notice at their first site visit with no time to search for or create digital or physical copies of background maps on a suitable scale. …”

Contesting a legendary legacy: A century of reflection on Raymond Dart and the Taung skull by Christa Kuljian

“…First, this paper explores how, over time, Dart’s telling of the story of the Taung fossil obscured the role of geologist Robert Young and promoted the myth of ‘one man, one fossil’, rather than the reality that all scientific efforts reflect the work of a team. …”
