He was a consultant to the Geological Survey of Ohio and associated with Stanley M. Totten in preparation of maps and reports on glacial geology. Among his publications on Ohio geology were bulletins and monographs on glacial and groundwater geology of Stark, Ashtabula, Portage, Trumbull, Holmes, Wayne, Cuyahoga and Summit Counties in the Allegheny Plateau. His earlier work was on bedrock geology, with emphasis on coal, clay and limestone deposits. After 1945 his work was mainly on glacial deposits, and especially on their relation to water supply and their environmental and engineering influences. In addition to economic and stratigraphic studies of glacial deposits, he was concerned with studies of history of geology. His special interest in this field was in the history and bibliography of early American geology, on which subject he wrote journal articles. He supervised about 30 Ph.D. dissertations, in geomorphology, glacial geology, and hydrogeology in Alaska, Alberta, Saskatchewan, New Mexico, Nevada, Quebec, New Brunswick, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Illinois. 15/11/23 4 Contents Boxes Biographical George W.

Oil Rig: ‘The first deep well in the UK, Portsdown No1, was spudded in January 1936 on Portsdown Hill overlooking Portsmouth harbour. This was the first deep well test drilling in the UK, drilling into a strong 'anticline'. The well penetrated 6556 feet of Jurassic rocks and Triassic rocks finding a small quantity of oil at one level only. Several other sites in the Hampshire, Dorset and Sussex regions were also drilled and small quantities of oil were found but the wells were abandoned due to the poor devel- opment of the reservoir beds. Operations were moved to the Midlands and the North resulting eventu- ally in a major find close to the village of Eakring in Nottinghamshire at Dukes Wood which is now the site of the Dukes Wood Oil Museum’.

    Yorkshire geology as seen through the eyes of notable British Geological Survey geologists 1862-2000 46-67 in Myerscough, R and Wallace, V. Famous Geologists of Yorkshire. PLACE, York. ISBN 978-1-906604-58-5. By Anthony H. Cooper Honorary Research Associate, British Geological Survey, Nottingham, NG12 5GG, UK This paper was presented at the PLACE (People, Landscape & Cultural Environment Education and Research Centre) conference 3rd October 2015. The printed version along with 5 other papers on the theme of Famous Yorkshire Geologists can be obtained from PLACE; details at www.place.uk.com e-mail [email protected] The first pieces in the puzzle Making a geological map is like doing a 3-dimensional jigsaw puzzle, but with 99% of the pieces missing and without the picture on the box to help. It involves looking at the lie of the land and piecing together various sources of evidence to put the rocks in order and visualise the result as a 3-dimensional model of what is hidden below the surface. It is “landscape literacy” and unlike a topographical map, such as those produced by the Ordnance Survey, it is largely an interpretation rather than the map of observable features. Each geologist and each new map update builds on what has gone before. Some geologists add more than others and some make ground-breaking observations. A few geologists have great insights in fitting the pieces together and fundamentally change the way we interpret Earth history, an example being the recognition of continental drift, a major advance built on many diverse observations.
