Glossary of Geology
Abstrak
It was in 1950 just a little over 20 years ago that a group of geologists in Tulsa, Oklahoma, recognized the desirability of agreement on definitions, and for standardization of many terms commonly, but often differently, used by geologists. Not only did they recognize the need they did something about it! They outlined a plan of action and submitted it to the Research Committee of the American Association of Petroleum Geologists. The committee, favorably impressed by the proposal but having some doubt as to its appropriateness for AAPG, recommended that the project might better be undertaken by the American Geological Institute thereby providing for input from the many special fields represented by the AGI member societies. Thus was the first Glossary Project initiated. Under the dedicated guidance of J.V. Howell (whose name deservedly will be forever associated with the AGI Glossary) and with contributions from a great number of individuals, committees, and some societies, a Glossary of geology and related sciences embodying some 14,000 entries was published in 1957 under the imprimatur of the National Academy of Sciences National Research Council.
