Archean

The Archean Eon (also spelled Archaean or Archæan), in older sources sometimes called the Archaeozoic, is the second of the four geologic eons of Earth's history, preceded by the Hadean Eon and followed by the Proterozoic.

See Hans J. Hofmann and Archean

Biology

Biology is the scientific study of life.

Charles Doolittle Walcott Medal

Charles Doolittle Walcott Medal is an award presented by the National Academy of Sciences every five years to promote research and study in the fields of Precambrian and Cambrian life and history.

See Hans J. Hofmann and Charles Doolittle Walcott Medal

Comparative anatomy

Comparative anatomy is the study of similarities and differences in the anatomy of different species.

See Hans J. Hofmann and Comparative anatomy

Computer simulation

Computer simulation is the process of mathematical modelling, performed on a computer, which is designed to predict the behaviour of, or the outcome of, a real-world or physical system.

See Hans J. Hofmann and Computer simulation

Cyanobacteria

Cyanobacteria, also called Cyanobacteriota or Cyanophyta, are a phylum of autotrophic gram-negative bacteria that can obtain biological energy via oxygenic photosynthesis.

See Hans J. Hofmann and Cyanobacteria

Evolution

Evolution is the change in the heritable characteristics of biological populations over successive generations.

See Hans J. Hofmann and Evolution

Fossil

A fossil (from Classical Latin) is any preserved remains, impression, or trace of any once-living thing from a past geological age.

See Hans J. Hofmann and Fossil

Geological Survey of Canada

The Geological Survey of Canada (GSC; Commission géologique du Canada, CGC) is a Canadian federal government agency responsible for performing geological surveys of the country developing Canada's natural resources and protecting the environment.

Paleontology

Paleontology, also spelled palaeontology or palæontology, is the scientific study of life that existed prior to the start of the Holocene epoch (roughly 11,700 years before present).

See Hans J. Hofmann and Paleontology

Precambrian

The Precambrian (or Pre-Cambrian, sometimes abbreviated pC, or Cryptozoic) is the earliest part of Earth's history, set before the current Phanerozoic Eon.

See Hans J. Hofmann and Precambrian

Proterozoic

The Proterozoic is the third of the four geologic eons of Earth's history, spanning the time interval from 2500 to 538.8Mya, the longest eon of the Earth's geologic time scale.

Royal Society of Canada

The Royal Society of Canada (RSC; Société royale du Canada, SRC), also known as the Academies of Arts, Humanities, and Sciences of Canada (French: Académies des arts, des lettres et des sciences du Canada), is the senior national, bilingual council of distinguished Canadian scholars, humanists, scientists, and artists.

Stratigraphy

Stratigraphy is a branch of geology concerned with the study of rock layers (strata) and layering (stratification).

See Hans J. Hofmann and Stratigraphy

Stromatolite

Stromatolites or stromatoliths are layered sedimentary formations (microbialite) that are created mainly by photosynthetic microorganisms such as cyanobacteria, sulfate-reducing bacteria, and Pseudomonadota (formerly proteobacteria).

T. H. Clark

Thomas Henry Clark, Ph.D., FRSC (December 3, 1893 – April 28, 1996) was a Canadian geologist who is considered to have been one of the nation's top scientists of the 20th century. Hans J. Hofmann and t. H. Clark are Canadian paleontologists.

Trace fossil

A trace fossil, also known as an ichnofossil (from ἴχνος ikhnos "trace, track"), is a fossil record of biological activity by lifeforms but not the preserved remains of the organism itself.

See Hans J. Hofmann and Trace fossil
