About Joseph O'Donoghue

The author graduated from University College Cork, Ireland, in 1986 with a Bachelor’s degree in geology, and began his career as a professional geologist working on water resources and environmental geology in both Ireland and the United States.
Finding that the work of a professional geologist did not really appeal to him, he left the field and pursued his interest in the science of geology independently. Driven primarily by an interest in the enigma of the Ice Age, the author embarked on a quest to solve what is probably the greatest mystery in geology, undeterred by the many decades of prior, futile efforts that preceded his.
An open-minded approach allowed the author to gain insights previously missed or obscured by excessive adherence to traditional gradualist academic doctrine.
The author’s approach to his critical analysis of the Atlantis legend and the science of geology is based solely on the evidence and supported by the laws of physics, and, using much scientific evidence and those same laws of physics, the author seeks to demonstrate that the geological history of this world may well be quite different to what orthodox academic geology says it is. In that case, lost Atlantis (and the Great Flood) may indeed belong firmly in the realm of physical and historical reality.
