“Fathoming deep time is arguably geology’s single greatest contribution to humanity. Just as the microscope and telescope extended our vision into spatial realms once too minuscule or too immense for us to see, geology provides a lens through which we can witness time in a way that transcends the limits of our human experiences.”

Excerpts from Marcia Bjornerud, Peter Brannen, Nicola Davison, Richard Fortey, Thomas Halliday, Elizabeth Kolbert, Robert Macfarlane, John McPhee, Vandana Shiva, Roberto Trotta, Scott Wing, and Jan Zalasiewicz. | Womanray
