David R. Inglis, "Shifting of the Earth's Axis of Rotation" in reviews of Modern Physics, American Physical Society, volume 29 number 1, January 1957, pp 1-157, with the Inglis on pp 9-19. Original wrappers. FINE copy. [++] "David R. Inglis's 1957 paper, "Shifting of the Earth's Axis of Rotation," in Reviews of Modern Physics, discusses the theoretical implications of a shift in Earth's axis of rotation. Inglis's work explored the dynamics and potential causes of such a shift, examining how changes in the Earth's mass distribution could affect its rotational axis. Inglis's paper is cited as a reference in studies related to Earth's magnetic field and climate change. The concept of a shifting axis is also relevant to discussions about potential geological and climatic catastrophes, though Inglis's work focused on the physics of such a shift rather than its catastrophic consequences."----Search Labs, AI Overview. [++] "David R. Inglis enjoyed a distinguished career in nuclear physics that ranged from theoretical work on the structure of the nucleus in the 1930s to the development of the atomic bomb in the 1940s and work on renewable energy in the 1960s and 1970s. A Professor of Physics at UMass from 1969-1975, Inglis was a founding member of the Federation of American Scientists and from the mid-1940s on, he dedicated himself to informing public policy on the dangers of nuclear technologies."--UMass Amherst Libraries Special Collections (Inglis papers)." At the time of this paper Dr. Inglis was at the Argonne National Laboratory.
