Portrait of Mary Anning, in oils, probably painted by William Gray in February, 1842, for exhibition at the Royal Academy, but rejected. The portrait includes the fossil cliffs of Lyme Bay in the background. Mary is pointing at an ammonite, with her companion Tray dutifully curled beside the ammonite protecting the find. The portrait eventually became the property of Joseph, Mary‟s brother, and in 1935, was presented to the Geology Department, British Museum, by Mary‟s great-great niece Annette Anning (1876-1938). The portrait is now in the Earth Sciences Library, British Museum of Natural History. A similar portrait in pastels by B.J.M. Donne, hangs in the entry hall of the Geological Society of London.

    Newsletter 2017-18 Department of GEOSCIENCES From the Department Head Hi alums: I hope this newsletter finds you in good health and spirits. It’s been a very exciting and productive year in the department. In case the news hasn’t reached you, Lee Kump was recently named the seventeenth dean of the College of Earth and Mineral Sciences. We are incredibly proud of Lee for this major honor and we know that the college will benefit greatly under his dedicated and sage leadership. Lee’s vision and energy has left the department a much better place. I’m sure all of the faculty will join me in thanking him for a job very well done. I’ve just re-stepped into the headship for a year as we conduct a national search for a new leader. Lee plans to keep an active research program, but it’s still a bittersweet time for many of us with the retirements of Mike Arthur and Terry Engelder, although we expect both of them to be in the department regularly. You can read more about Mike’s and Terry’s incredible careers in this issue, but needless to say we are going to miss these inspirational scientists. Mike “Black Shale” Arthur wrote the textbook on how ancient organic-rich rocks accumulated, and christened the field of chemostratigraphy. Terry “Marcellus” Engelder had one of the most productive late careers on record with his discovery of fracturing patterns in the Marcellus Shale that helped pave the way for gas production in our state. It’s been fun to watch the career paths of these two very different scientists converge in recent years.

  • Women in Glaciology, a Historical Perspective
    944 Journal of Glaciology, Vol. 56, No. 200, 2010 Women in glaciology, a historical perspective Christina L. HULBE,1 Weili WANG,2 Simon OMMANNEY3 1Department of Geology, Portland State University, PO Box 751, Portland, Oregon 97207-0751, USA E-mail: [email protected] 2NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, Code 614.1, Greenbelt, Maryland 20771, USA 3Emeritus Associate, Scott Polar Research Institute ABSTRACT. Women’s history in glaciology extends as far back in time as the discipline itself, although their contributions to the scientific discourse have for all of that history been constrained by the socio- political contexts of the times. The first Journal of Glaciology paper authored by a woman appeared in 1948, within a year of the founding of the Journal, but it was not until the 1980s that women produced more than a few percent of Journal and Annals of Glaciology papers. Here international perspectives on women’s participation in the sciences are presented in order to establish an economic and socio- political context for stories of women ‘pioneers’ in glaciology and a frame in which to discuss women’s persistent under-representation relative to men. We find that the experiences of individual glaciologists mirror women’s experiences in higher education and the sciences as a whole. The existence of both positive and negative trends in women’s participation in the sciences suggests caution in the interpretation of recent positive trends for women’s participation in glaciology. 1. HISTORICAL CONTEXT women’s participation both waxes and wanes due to 1.1. Histories of women in science identifiable economic and social forcings.
