Japan's Maruyama Shigenori, one of the world's leading geophysicists, is working on a global formula for a vast new field of study
that would include dozens of disciplines collaborating to produce an
overall picture of the Earth.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.dailygalaxy.com/my_weblog/2008/07/bio-earth-plane.html"><P>Maruyama is creating a new institute called the Center for Bio-Earth Planetology will be
launched in 2009 and fully dedicated to creating a new conception of
life in space.He wants to find out if the continents will
merge again in 250 million years to form a single super-continent; how
meteorites change the chemical composition of the Earth; and what the
connection is between the temperature of a planet and its magnetic
field, which protects plants and animals from
being bombarded with cosmic radiation, which in turn influences the
rate of mutations and thus the development of new forms of life.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.dailygalaxy.com/my_weblog/2008/07/bio-earth-plane.html"><P>
As he connects the dots from astronomy to life sciences, the outlines
emerge of an all-encompassing image of entire planets, which appear as
living super-organisms.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/A222ECA8-773C-43B1-B3D5-7FA1B01390CA/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
