Author's Tranquility Press Presents: The Topographic Map Mystery: Geology's Unrecognized Paradigm Problem by Eric Clausen

Topographic Map Evidence Challenges the Geology Research Community's Paradigm
Author's Tranquility Press is proud to announce the release of The Topographic Map Mystery: Geology's Unrecognized Paradigm Problem [https://www.amazon.com/Topographic-Map-Mystery-Geologys-Unrecognized/dp/1964037026/ref=monarch_sidesheet_image]: Revised Edition by Eric Clausen. The book's primary mystery is what formed the drainage system and erosional landform features which blanket most continental regions and which the geology research community usually ignores and has never satisfactorily explained? These poorly explained and almost always ignored drainage system and erosional landform features, which are best studied by using detailed topographic maps, include most drainage divides, river and stream valleys, mountain passes, through valleys (valleys crossing drainage divides), canyons cut across mountain ranges, barbed tributaries, water and wind gaps, abrupt river and stream direction changes, and erosional escarpments.

The book includes dozens of United States Geological Survey topographic maps to illustrate examples of what is the solid wall of poorly explained topographic map drainage system and erosional landform evidence that the accepted geology and glacial history paradigm has never explained. The book is a warning to geologists that this great mass of easily observed but unexplained drainage system and erosional landform evidence means the geology discipline has an unrecognized paradigm problem. The book asks: "how can the geology research community claim to understand Cenozoic geologic and glacial history when geologists have never determined how the well-mapped drainage system and erosional landform features originated?"

Included in the revised edition is a first-hand account of the author's multi-decade long search to solve the topographic map mystery. That search began by trying to determine how a poorly explained North Dakota erosional escarpment was formed but soon discovered confusing published reports which did not correctly describe easy to observe evidence for trails of distinctive igneous rock alluvium which led from the Rocky Mountains to a well-recognized southwest North Dakota continental ice sheet margin and which challenged the geology research community's interpretation of middle and late Cenozoic history. Needing a completely different type of evidence to confirm what the alluvium trails were saying the author then learned how to interpret the previously unexplained topographic map drainage system and erosional landform evidence.

Interpreting the topographic map drainage system and erosional landform evidence required the testing of many different hypotheses but eventually led to a new (and fundamentally different) geology and glacial history paradigm able to explain much of what the detailed topographic maps show. Throughout the research process vertebrate paleontologists and other geologists refused to recognize the author's reported distinctive igneous rock alluvium source and trail evidence and after the new paradigm had emerged blocked its presentation by claiming that a study of topographic map evidence was "not real research" and "lacked a scientific foundation".

The book is a must read for someone interested in comparing how two completely different geology and glacial history paradigms explain or do not explain large-scale landform features. This is also an important book for anyone interested in learning how adherence to the accepted geology and glacial history paradigm can blind geology research community members to the importance and even the existence of easily observed large-scale landform features which the accepted geology and glacial history paradigm cannot explain. This thought-provoking work invites both professional geologists and curious readers to reconsider the foundations of the geology research community's knowledge and to explore how a recently discovered geology and glacial history paradigm interprets the Earth's geologic and glacial history.

About the Author:

Eric Clausen is a geomorphologist who was trained at Columbia University and the University of Wyoming and who spent much of his career teaching geology at North Dakota's Minot State University. He is now retired and resides in Jenkintown, Pennsylvania where he is continuing his topographic map and scientific paradigm research. He has published approximately 50 scientific journal articles to demonstrate for modest-sized regions scattered across the continental United States how the recently discovered geology and glacial history paradigm explains previously unexplained and ignored detailed topographic map drainage system and erosional landform evidence. Through The Topographic Map Mystery: Geology's Unrecognized Paradigm Problem, Clausen encourages readers to embrace curiosity, question the status quo, and delve deeper into the natural world's untold stories.
