	The parrot, the pince-nez and the pleochroic halo
		Joly had a distinguished continental pedigree too elaborate to be recounted here, but he was born in Ireland and educated in Dublin.
		Joly brought to geology a keen appreciation of the importance of the exciting new subject of radioactivity and nuclear physics, and he explored its implications over two decades of research, expressed in several books.
		Joly himself would have enjoyed the argument - he was one of a long line of scientists who tried to estimate the age of the earth, and came up with 100 million years.

		It was this which sowed the germ of an idea which was to link the names of Dixon and Joly in the scientific literature and to associate them forever with the Theory of the Ascent of Sap in Plants.
		The hypothesis was that evaporation of water from the leaves caused a suction which was transmitted down the plant in the continuous water columns in the xylem, the main conducting tissue, and which drew water through roots from the soil.
		Dixon and Joly then carried out a series of experiments which answered many of the criticisms and in 1914 Dixon published the conclusions a book entitled ‘Transpiration and the Ascent of Sap in Plants.

		His greatest fame, however, came in the area of radioactivity, where he made groundbreaking discoveries into “terrestrial heat and the effect it would have on calculations of the age of the earth made by Kelvin’s method,” dating geological formations, and using radioactivity for therapeutic purposes (DSB).

	A great Irish inventor
		JOHN JOLY (1857-1933) was one of the most outstanding Irish scientists and inventors of his time.
		Joly spent his entire career at Trinity, eventually becoming professor of geology, and writing close to 300 books and scientific papers.
		It was commercialised and became reasonably successful, but Joly had to go to the U.S. on several occasions to defend his patents from legal assaults by the Kodak film and camera company.

	Marine Geology Lab #05
		The fundamental principles of geochemical cycling were stumbled upon by John Joly in the latter 1800's when he attempted to determine the age of the Earth by estimating the time required for "salt" to accumulate in the oceans.
		To do this, Joly simply calculated the total mass of salt in the oceans (by multiplying the concentration of salt in seawater by the volume of the oceans) and dividing this mass by the annual flux of salt to the oceans from rivers.
		While this method is computationally correct, it does not yield the age of the Earth, but rather the RESIDENCE TIME (i.e.

		Despite Hutton's notion, it would be over 150 years from the time he proposed uniformitarianism to the time we had the tools to determine exactly how long such processes took.
