Sampling for Glaciological “Erratic Rock” Provenance: The Brilliance of Danish Geologist Arne Noe Nygaard
DOI: 10.62178/sst.003.003
Abstract
This article showcases the extraordinarily versatile Replication Experiment (RE). Although presented and illustrated before within the professional sampling community, there are still many cases showing inspiring, didactic applications allowing a broader view on the types of “analysis” associated with sampling. Although so-called “economic geological processes” are of key importance within the traditional field(s) of sampling (TOS), i.e. mineralisations, ore exploration and mining, minerals processing, the author and editor, here drags the reader into a realm very rarely visited in the sampling realm—academic geology. The present case could just as well have been termed “Danish medieval churches meet inspiring geologic icon inventing the RE independently of the TOS”.
