RESTON, Virginia — Dr. Hugo Whitehead of the United States Geologic Survey isn’t happy with the department, and the department doesn’t seem to be very happy with him, either.
Dr. Whitehead was, as of a few days ago, the lead scientist in a new technique based on the analysis of the velocities of seismic waves recorded since the beginning of digital seismic data collection. The project, known as the Rotating Epicyclic Calibration for Temperature Analog Localization (RECTAL), has come to the conclusion the interior of the Earth is cooling off, and cooling off at a much faster rate than deemed possible by geologic science.
