He is listed in &#039;&#039;[[The Worldwide List of Dissident Scientists]]&#039;&#039; under the Expanding Earth category.<br /> <br /> ==Work==<br /> Kugler is the author of the treatise &#039;&#039;Subduction and Overthrusting&#039;&#039; (2006), a work on tectonic geology. In it he argues that subduction and overthrusting can be differentiated on the basis of tectonic mapping, a distinction that he holds is not generally recognised by most geoscientists. His argument places the difference between the two processes at the centre of interpreting large-scale crustal movements.<br /> <br /> His work has been cited in connection with Samuel Warren Carey&#039;s expanding Earth hypothesis, in the context of the debate over whether large-scale expansion could be reconciled with locally or regionally observed subduction. This positions his conclusions outside the mainstream framework of plate tectonics, in which subduction is a central mechanism.<br /> <br /> ==External links==<br /> * [http://www.lulu.com/shop/andrew-kugler-jr/subduction-and-overthrusting/hardcover/product- &#039;&#039;Subduction and Overthrusting&#039;&#039; (Lulu)]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Scientist|Kugler Andrew]]<br /> [[Category:Worldwide List of Dissident Scientists]]</div>
