"N.-A. Mörner"

Axle the Dowser? Can't remember when somebody was desperate enuf to mention him. You are a trip.

Nils-Axel Mörner Credentials
  • Ph.D., Geology, (1969). [1], [2]
BackgroundMörner is a retired professor from the University of Stockholm where he was the head of the Paleogeophysics and Geodynamics department from 1991 to 2005. [1], [3]

Mörner claims to be an expert in "dowsing," the practice of finding water, metals, gemstones etc. through the use of a Y-shaped twig.

Mörner's attempt to prove his dowsing abilities is chronicled by James Randi, [4] the well-known myth buster, who has offered the longstanding One Million Dollar Paranormal Challenge.

According to a search of 22,000 academic journals, Mörner has published 65+ original research papers in peer-reviewed journals, mainly in the area of paleoseismicity, in other words the study of historical earthquake activity.

Mörner has also published The Greatest Lie Ever Told (*Which does not appear to be peer-reviewed*) that sets out to refute the idea of catastrophic sea level rise.
