Roderick Impey Murchison（1792-1871）是一位杰出的地质学家，他的声誉在很大程度上是基于一种研究方法，该方法包括一个有效的实地考察程序，然后公开介绍和出版他的发现。他的研究方法使他能够迅速调查大面积，将地质科学的最新进展应用于这些大面积，并以最大的影响力及时和广泛地展示他的成果。本文重点介绍默奇森的两个星期的访问挪威在1844年，并介绍了他的调查结果后，访问，以说明他的研究方法在行动。不仅他的工作结果在一个重大的进展，了解地质挪威，但默奇森也适用于他的挪威的结果问题的广泛利益的发展科学的地质学。特别是，他在挪威的工作产生了：（1）对挪威古生代岩石系统的范围的评价;（2）一个新的名称，Azoic，为更古老的，不含化石的基础。
Roderick Impey Murchison (1792-1871) was an eminent geologist whose reputation was in large part based on a research method that comprised an efficient fieldwork procedure followed by public presentations and publication of his findings. His research method enabled him to survey large areas rapidly, apply recent advances in the science of geology to those large areas, and present his results in a timely and widespread manner with maximum impact. This paper focuses on Murchison's two-week visit to Norway in 1844, and the presentation of his findings in the aftermath of that visit, to illustrate his research method in action. Not only did his work result in a significant advance in the understanding of the geology of Norway, but Murchison also applied his Norway results to issues of wide interest in the developing science of geology. In particular, his work in Norway resulted in: (1) an appreciation of the extent of Paleozoic rock systems in Norway; (2) a new name, Azoic, for the older, nonfossiliferous bas...
