Change of epochs in Earth sciencesV. N. StrakhovInstitute of Physics of the Earth, Russian Academy of Science, Moscow, Russia Abstract[1] The present work tells about the author’s views regarding the two subjects. The first subject — the emergence of the new epochs in the Earth sciences, namely the epochs of geophysics and geoinformatics (previously there were two epochs in the Earth sciences — the epoch of geography and the epoch of geology). The second subject — the formation of the principally new theory of potential fields interpretation (gravitational and magnetic anomalies). Received 21 February 2007; revised 30 February 2007; accepted 22 March 2007; published 10 August 2007. Keywords: epochs in earth sciences, geoinformatics, gravity field analysis.
