  • It Has Often Been Said That Studying the Depths of the Sea Is Like Hovering In
    It has often been said that studying the depths of the sea is like hovering in a balloon high above an unknown land which is hidden by clouds, for it is a peculiarity of oceanic research that direct observations of the abyss are impracticable. Instead of the complete picture which vision gives, we have to rely upon a patiently put together mosaic representation of the discoveries made from time to time by sinking instruments and appliances into the deep. (Murray & Hjort, 1912: 22) Figure 1: Portrait of the H.M.S. Challenger. Prologue: Simple Beginnings In 1872, the H.M.S Challenger began its five- year journey that would stretch across every ocean on the planet but the Arctic. Challenger was funded for a single reason; to examine the mysterious workings of the ocean below its surface, previously unexplored. Under steam power, it travelled over 100,000 km and compiled 50 volumes of data and observations on water depth, temperature and conditions, as well as collecting samples of the seafloor, water, and organisms. The devices used to collect this data, while primitive by today’s standards and somewhat imprecise, were effective at giving humanity its first in-depth look into the inner workings of the ocean. By lowering a measured rope attached to a 200 kg weight off the edge of the ship, scientists estimated the depth of the ocean. A single reading could take up to 80 minutes for the weight to reach bottom. Taking a depth measurement also necessitated that the Challenger stop moving, and accurate mapping required a precise knowledge of where the ship was in the world, using navigational tools such as sextants.

  • Cumulated Bibliography of Biographies of Ocean Scientists Deborah Day, Scripps Institution of Oceanography Archives Revised December 3, 2001
    Cumulated Bibliography of Biographies of Ocean Scientists Deborah Day, Scripps Institution of Oceanography Archives Revised December 3, 2001. Preface This bibliography attempts to list all substantial autobiographies, biographies, festschrifts and obituaries of prominent oceanographers, marine biologists, fisheries scientists, and other scientists who worked in the marine environment published in journals and books after 1922, the publication date of Herdman’s Founders of Oceanography. The bibliography does not include newspaper obituaries, government documents, or citations to brief entries in general biographical sources. Items are listed alphabetically by author, and then chronologically by date of publication under a legend that includes the full name of the individual, his/her date of birth in European style(day, month in roman numeral, year), followed by his/her place of birth, then his date of death and place of death. Entries are in author-editor style following the Chicago Manual of Style (Chicago and London: University of Chicago Press, 14th ed., 1993). Citations are annotated to list the language if it is not obvious from the text. Annotations will also indicate if the citation includes a list of the scientist’s papers, if there is a relationship between the author of the citation and the scientist, or if the citation is written for a particular audience. This bibliography of biographies of scientists of the sea is based on Jacqueline Carpine-Lancre’s bibliography of biographies first published annually beginning with issue 4 of the History of Oceanography Newsletter (September 1992). It was supplemented by a bibliography maintained by Eric L. Mills and citations in the biographical files of the Archives of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UCSD.

  • Proceedings of the Fifth International Congress on the History of Oceanography
    EVOLUTION OF THE TECTOGENE CONCEPT, 1930-1965 ALlIN O. ALLWARDT SANTA CRUZ, CALIFORNIA Prepared for the Proceedings of the Fifth International congress on the History of oceanography (SCripps Institution of OCeanography, July 7-14, 1993) EVOLUTION OF THE TECTOGENR CONCEPT, 1930-1965 ABSTRACT The tectogene, or crustal downbuckle, was proposed in the early 19305 by F. A. Vening Meinesz to explain the unexpected belts of negative gravity anomalies in island arcs. He attributed the isostatic imbalance to a deep sialic root resulting from the action of subcrustal convection currents. Vening Heinesz's model was initially corroborated experimentally by P. H. Kuenen, but additional experiments by D. T. Griggs and geological analysis by H. H. Hess in the late 19305 led to substantial revision in detail. As modified, the tectogene provided a plausible model for the evolution of island arcs into alpine mountain belts for another two decades. Additional revisions became necessary in the early 19505 to accommodate the unexpected absence of sialic crust in the Caribbean and the marginal seas of the western Pacific. By 1960 the cherished analogy between island arcs and alpine mountain belts had collapsed under the weight of the detailed field investigations by Hess and his students in the Caribbean region. Hess then incorporated a highly modified form of the tectogene into his sea-floor spreading hypothesis. Ironically, this final incarnation of the concept preserved some of the weaker aspects of the 19305 original, such as the ad hoc explanation for the regular geometry of island arcs.

Allwardt Download date 09/10/2021 11:12:45 Link to Item http://hdl.handle.net/1834/27436 Harry Hess and Sea-floor Spreading Alan O. AIlwardt Unpublished manuscript based on: Allwardt, Alan 0., 1990, The roles of Anhur Holmes and Harry Hess in the development ofmodem global tectonics [Ph.D. dissertation, University ofCalifornia, Santa Cruz], Ann Arbor: University Microfilms, 225 p. Abstract Harry Hess's hypothesis ofsea-floor spreading brought together his long-standing interests in island arcs, oceanic topography, and the oceanic crust. The one unique feature ofHess's hypothesis was the origin ofthe oceanic crust as a hydration rind on the top ofthe mantle - an idea that was not well received, even by the early converts to sea-floor spreading. Hess never changed his mind on this issue, and his stubbornness illuminates the logic ofhis discovery. Published and an:hival records sbow tbat 1) Hess became convinced the oceanic crust was a hydration rind as early as mid 1958, wben he was still a fixist, 2) he devised sea-floor spreading in 1960 to reconcile the hydration.rind model with the newly discovered, high heat flow at oceanic ridge crests, and 3) Hess's new mobilist solution did the least amount ofviolence to his older fixist solution. Introduction Harry Hammond Hess (1909-1969), the Princeton University icon, is usually given credit for the idea ofsea-floor spreading by earth scientists and historians alike (e.g., Frankel, 1979, 1980; Glen, 1982; Glen and Frankel, 1988; Hallam, 1973; Marvin, 1973; Menard, 1972; Moores and Vine, 1988).

  • Harry Hammond Hess 1906-1969
    MEMORIAL TO HARRY HAMMOND HESS 1906-1969 A. F. BUDDINGTON Princeton University, Princeton, New ¡ersey Harry Hammond Hess was born in New York City, May 24, 1906, the son of [ulian B. and Elizabeth E. Hess. He suffered a fatal heart at­ tack on August 25, 1969, while chairing a com­ mittee of the Space Science Board of the National Academy of Sciences at Woods Hole, Massachu­ setts. In 1934, he married Annette Burns, daughter of George Plumer Burns, a professor of Botany at the University of Vermont. He is survived by his wife; an older son, George, Assistant Profes­ sor of Physics at the University of Virginia; a second son, Frank, at Whitehorse, Yukon Terri­ tory; a brother, Frank Hess of Huntington, Long Island, New York; and a grandson, Harry. Mrs. Hess was a constant strong support for her husband; they frequently entertained visiting scientists, associates, and former and current students, with warm, home-like hospitality. Harry Hess in effect accomplished the impossible; for thirty-five years he lived five lives contemporaneously: (1) as a family man, (2) a member of the faculty of Princeton University, (3) a mineralogist, geologist, geological geo­ physicist and oceanographer, (4) an officer in the U.S. Naval Reserve and a statesman-scientist and (5) the organizer, fund-raiser, and administrator of the Princeton Caribbean Geological Research Project. He spent his first two college years at Yale in the department of electrical engineering but then switched to geology and graduated in 1927. There followed two years as a geologist in northern Rhodesia for Loangwa Concessions.
