Thank you Bob !!!! Appreciate how thorough you explain things .... A thoughtful person's post about Centurion at Facebook today, brought to mind some considerations that I will write after this quote ... Anonymous: " ... the growth rate over a 10 year period for this tree and this species at this ag...

NTS, This is a useful discussion to have because there is no single answer on when to apply rounding rules, and to what degree. The answer is case dependent on: 1. Accuracy of equipment being used and the state of its calibration 2. Expertise of measurer 3. Distinctness of target 4. Tripod or no tr...

If a tree isn't measured accurately, its not an appropriate number to advertise to the world for a hemisphere record. Its not Atkin's standard, its more that Atkins follows a method that works. He is using something that was introduced to him. Once leaving that narrow path, climbing becomes the opti...

Glad you noted what you could glean or not. Because last night, Steve from the group seemed to avoid my question. Anyhow, finally it was disclosed triggering was done by HAND ... finger pushing. It was not in the document, but replied after asking about 4 times. Their equipment lists no prism and ex...

Redwood_Sign_800B.jpg I've never lived or visited much out west, I understand things are qualitatively different when the trees in question are as spectacularly large as Redwoods & Sequoias, and of potential logging demand as well. So I hope you'll forgive me not understanding what the reason for t...

This seemed like a good time to share with others what could buffer the leak of a discovery, and something you can keep an eye on down the road for your discoveries First, back in 2014 or so, one or two guys were following me on the internet, evidently copying some photos from when Chris and I were ...

According to NASA, global temperatures have increased about 8 degrees Fahrenheit since the end of the most recent ice age 12,000 years ago. During this time period humans have expanded and flourished , but it must be noted this change happened over thousands of years.. You may have discovered a hid...

I have no reason to question the basic science behind the idea that global warming is to a very large degree caused by the changes man's activities have been making in the content of the atmosphere. Since the start of the industrial revolution, the amount of carbon dioxide has increased from about ...
