I think the name-calling of Mr. Axel-Morner needs to come to an end now. I don’t know if anyone else has looked up his CV, but I’d say the details below provide enough evidence that at least in the field of sea level rise, he is one of the world’s experts.

He is the former head of the Paleogeophysics and Geodynamics department at Stockholm University, having retired in 2005. He was president of the INQUA Commission on Neotectonics (1981-1989). He has published books and papers on the interaction among isostacy and eustasy, the oscillating regional eustatic curve of NW Europe, the changing geoid concept, the redefinition of the concept of eustasy, the dynamic-rotational redistribution of oceanic water masses, and the interchange of angular momentum between the hydrosphere and solid Earth. His publications span over thirty years.

The Palegeophysics and Geodynamics unit at Stockholm University was a research unit, with a few subjects of special attention: Sea Level, Uplift of Fennoscandia, Climate, Paleoseismiy & Neotectonics, Paleomagnetism, and Geophilosophy.

Whatever views he holds on dowsing are completely irrelevant to the work he’s done in the field in which he claims expertise. Much of early science was done by individuals attempting to document the perfection of God’s creation; that their findings led to modern science has little to do with their personal beliefs, and everything to do with the quality of the work that they did.

Juge Mr. Axel-Morner should be judged on the quality of _this_ work as well, and not on his other interests.
