  Hampshire - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hampshire was one of the first Saxon shires, recorded in 755, but for two centuries represented the western end of Saxon England, as advances into Dorset and Somerset were fought off by the Britons.
Hampshire's county town is Winchester, a historic city that was once the capital of the ancient kingdom of Wessex.
Hampshire's relatively safe waters have allowed the county to develop as one of the busiest sailing areas in the country, with many yacht clubs and several manufacturers on the Solent.

Hitchcock's New Hampshire survey resulted in preliminary annual reports for 1869 -1873, an elegant series of three large volumes with final results (published in 1874, 1877, and 1878), and an accompanying atlas of geologic maps in 1878.
Most of Stone's writings on glacial geology are outside the scope of this paper, but his investigation of moraines in the upper Androscoggin River valley (on the Maine-New Hampshire border) are important to understanding the deglaciation of the White Mountains.
In a little-known article on the geology of the upper Connecticut River watershed, he claimed that a series of ice-dammed lakes were impounded between the retreating glacier margin and the northwest flank of the mountains.

Schneer was at Yerevan to formalize arrangements for the New Hampshire Interdisciplinary Conference on the History of Geology to be held that September at UNH.
As one outcome, specialized sessions on the History of Geology, that were a routine feature of International Congresses after 1968, have been a part of the programs of the annual meetings of the GSA for the last three decades.

 geology - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about geology
This volume contains, in the form of a Journal, a history of our voyage, and a sketch of those observations in Natural History and Geology, which I think will possess some interest for the general reader.
And yet the former history continues to be studied side by side with the laws of statistics, geography, political economy, comparative philology, and geology, which directly contradict its assumptions.
But that neat idea hit the boy in a blank place, for geology hadn't been invented yet.

John Barlow Reid Jr., a geology professor at Hampshire College who might have solved the mystery of the moving rocks of Racetrack Playa in Death Valley National Park, died of prostate cancer Aug. 28 at his Essex home.
Reid often rushed from his lab at Hampshire College to buttonhole a clerk or administrator and bring them in and show them a wonder that he was viewing through his microscope.
The strata or rocks looked like "layers of icing on a cake," the Sierra Mountains were formed in a process akin to "sucking the juice out of a Popsicle," and glaciers with the consistency of "pancake batter with chocolate chips" retreated north from New England dropping rocks along the way.

 GEOLOGY OF THE LAKE SUNAPEE AREA, NEW HAMPSHIRE   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Several important features of the Acadian orogen in New Hampshire come together in the area surrounding Lake Sunapee, including plutons associated with all four groups of the NH Plutonic Series (NHPS), as well as a narrow septum of metasedimentary rocks potentially related to larger structures of the orogen.
Results so far suggests that the Sunapee septum may include a significant shear zone, and that late brittle structures may be more important to interpreting the geology of this area than previously thought.
In addition, a variety of cross-cutting relationships and igneous textures suggest an important role for the intrusion of magmas associated with the Spaulding Group of the NHPS.
